Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that are powered entirely or partly by electricity. Instead of relying on traditional internal combustion engines that burn fossil fuels, EVs use electric motors and batteries to provide propulsion. They can be charged from external electricity sources, such as charging stations or home outlets, and can either operate solely on battery power (battery electric vehicles, or BEVs) or utilize a combination of an electric motor and a conventional engine (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs). EVs are known for their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease air pollution, and lower operating costs compared to conventional vehicles, as they tend to have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance. The growing interest in EVs is driven by advances in battery technology, increasing environmental concerns, and supportive governmental policies promoting cleaner transportation options.
