Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that are powered entirely or partially by electricity instead of traditional internal combustion engines that rely on gasoline or diesel. They use electric motors and battery packs to propel the vehicle. EVs can be categorized into several types, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which run solely on electricity, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which combine a conventional engine with an electric motor that can be recharged from an external power source.

Electric vehicles are recognized for their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. They operate more efficiently than conventional vehicles, as electric motors convert a higher percentage of electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels. Additionally, EVs often feature regenerative braking, which recovers energy during braking and extends the driving range. The growth of electric vehicle technology is supported by advancements in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and increasing consumer demand for sustainable transportation options.
