  2. Overheating (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating_(electricity)

    When overheating, the temperature of the part rises above the operating temperature. Overheating can take place: if heat is produced in more than expected amount (such as in cases of short-circuits, or applying more voltage than rated), or; if heat dissipation is poor, so that normally produced waste heat does not drain away properly.

  3. Battery charger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

    Such high-charging rates are possible only with some battery types. Others will be damaged or possibly overheat or catch fire. Some batteries may even explode. [9] For example, an automobile SLI (starting, lighting, ignition) lead–acid battery carries several risks of explosion. A newer type of charger is known as a solid-state charger.

    On September 3, 2023, a BYD Atto 3 suffered smoke and heat damage to the engine compartment when charging at a charging station in Mueang Udon Thani district, Udon Thani, Thailand. Investigation showed that the damage was caused by a wire attached to the 12 V lead–acid battery, not the vehicle's main EV battery pack.

  5. Check engine light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_engine_light

    A check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system used to indicate a malfunction or problem with the vehicle ranging from minor (such as a loose gas cap) to serious (worn spark plugs, engine problems or a faulty oil valve, etc.).

  6. Electric supercharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_supercharger

    An electric supercharger, if supplied by common stock electric accumulators, runs independent of the engine to which it provides its boost. However, electrical energy consumed is often higher than what a production-line generator (e.g. alternator) of the engine can supply. Larger alternators are therefore fitted to recharge accumulators during ...

    The base model Kona EV has a range of around 200 miles, but with the boosted 64.8-kWh battery, it can drive up to 260 miles on a single charge, equal to its competitors.

  8. Automotive thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_thermoelectric...

    When hot exhaust from the engine passes through an exhaust ATEG, the charge carriers of the semiconductors within the generator diffuse from the hot-side heat exchanger to the cold-side exchanger. The build-up of charge carriers results in a net charge, producing an electrostatic potential while the heat transfer drives a current. [2]
