Q
do electric vehicles have radiators
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Electric vehicles (EVs) do technically have radiators, but they function differently compared to those in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. In ICE vehicles, the radiator is a key component of the cooling system, helping to dissipate heat away from the engine. EVs, on the other hand, produce less heat during operation. However, they still require cooling for their battery packs, electric motors, and power electronics, which can generate significant heat, especially under heavy load or during rapid charging. Thus, EVs utilize a thermal management system which often includes a radiator or similar heat exchanger to help regulate the temperature of these components. This ensures the vehicle operates efficiently and safely, and it helps to prolong the lifespan of the battery and other critical systems.
Industry Pundit: Exploring the depth of the industrial domain beyond surface level, from policies to practices.
It is true that some electric vehicles EVs come with radiators. While EVs do not burn fuel. they still generate heat through their motor. battery. and other electrical components. even though they do not produce as much heat as gasoline-powered vehicles. EVs require cooling these components to function properly. so many are equipped with a cooling system. including a radiator. However. it cools the motor and battery pack instead of the engine block.
