Modern gas gauges do not change the level of fuel if a car or truck accelerates, brakes or turns. This is not because the fuel is not moving, it is because a computer in the instrument cluster or attached to the fuel pump is calculating the volume of fuel in the tank. In this video, Andrew Markel covers how the system sense and calculates the fuel level. This video is sponsored by Carter.
A device similar to an alternator, called a DC-DC converter, charges the 12-volt battery from the high-voltage battery pack.
Did you know that most electric vehicles still rely on a good old 12-volt battery? Despite that huge battery nestled below your feet, it’s the 12-volt battery that powers everything from your EV’s windshield wipers to its airbags.
For good reason we often marvel at the high-voltage systems that propel us forward, but it’s that trusty 12-volt battery that quietly maintains the heartbeat of the vehicle’s auxiliary components. So, why is the 12-volt battery so indispensable in an EV? It’s about functionality and adherence to safety regulations.
