What is Electric vehicle?
An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. It can be powered by a collector system, with electricity from extravehicular sources, or it can be powered autonomously by a battery (sometimes charged by solar panels, or by converting fuel to electricity using fuel cells or a generator (Often known as a hybrid)). EVs include but are not limited to road and rail vehicles, and broadly can also include electric boat and underwater vessels (submersibles, and technically also diesel- and turbo-electric submarines), electric aircrafts and electric spacecraft.

How it works?
All-electric vehicles, also referred to as battery electric vehicles (BEVs), have an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. The vehicle uses a large traction battery pack to power the electric motor and must be plugged in to a wall outlet or charging equipments, also called electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). Because it runs on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components, such as a fuel pump, fuel line, or fuel tank.
What are the advantages of electric vehicle?
- No fuel required so you save money on gas
Paying $0.10 per kW is the equivalent of driving on gasoline that costs less than $1 per gallon. On average, drivers save about $700 in fuel costs per year while driving electric cars.
- Environmental friendly as they do not emit pollutants
Drivers of electric vehicles have reduced CO2 emissions by more than 177,758,804 kg.
- Lower maintenance due to an efficient electric motor
Electric motors have less parts that lead to less damage than a traditional non electric vehicle which means you save on operating cost.
- Better Performance
Electric cars are not only lighter but have faster acceleration.
