Electric supercharger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the electric vehicle charging network, see Tesla Supercharger.
An electric supercharger is a specific type of supercharger for internal combustion engines that uses an electrically powered forced-air system that contains an electric motor to pressurize the intake air. By pressurizing the air available to the engine intake system, the air becomes more dense, and is matched with more fuel, producing the increased horsepower to the wheels.[better source needed][1]
