If you browse the internet, you may come across various discussions about the electric turbo. That is why we decided to look at this topic and explain what an electric turbo is for.

But first of all, we have to answer one fundamental question. Is it a turbocharger or a supercharger?

A turbocharger, or "turbo" in short, is a device that increases the power of an internal combustion engine by forcing air into the combustion chamber.

The increase in power comes from the engine receiving many more oxygen molecules from the same air volume. Since the air is pressurized, the mixture is more explosive, the engine thus accelerates more easily, and it does not need more fuel.
