The Development of Car Electricity

Nowadays the automotive world is developing more environmental friendly vehicles, because the demand of environmental friendly cars is getting higher, for the mother earth temperature is also increasing year by year, or we know it as global warming. Because of that, the car manufacturers keep doing developments to produce the vehicle that is so friendly to the earth but still has powerfull engine to run. The ecological friendliness is obtained, the business goes on.

Starting from hybrid cars like Toyota Prius, Honda Insight and so on, the car manufacturers move toward with many innovations such as hydrogen fueled cars like used for some types of BMW. However, to make this car runs well, it needs hydrogen gas station everywhere so we don't have to worry of running out the gas.

The other development from the car manufacturer nowadays is the electric car. Yup, by charging like you recharge your cellphone battery, you can use your car for daily activities like going to the market, taking children to school and many more. Since Moris Mini electric version was launched a couple months ago, this phenomenon is getting bigger, because this innovation makes you go anywhere without leaving anykind of air pollution.

The development of the vehicles recently is not touching the mechanical anymore, because there is no innovation so far in it. So, the engineers start seeing that the development of the vehicles can be done from the electricity. Since Electronic Controlling Unit and fuel injection invented, the development of car electrical parts is getting wider. Now, the role of ECU is not only controlling the mixture of fuel and oxygen, but also setting your headlamp positioning, controlling tire pressure, and even immobilizer for preventing your car of being stolen.

Beside the advantage of electrical development, there is a weakness of this development. Yup, you must regularly check the car battery, especially when there is a dirt or corrotion, you must clean it up so it won't affect the electric supply for your car. There are maintenance free batteries nowadays, but you still must check it regularly, just to make sure that there's no corrotion nor dirt that can resist the electric supply for the lasting of your ECU. If the battery is getting weak, you can change it by yourself or contact the manufacturer service station to do it, because there are some ECUs protected with password and only the manufacturer can open. But don't worry. The technology is made to make life easier. Isn't it?
