Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that are powered entirely or primarily by electricity, rather than by traditional internal combustion engines that rely on gasoline or diesel. EVs utilize electric motors and rechargeable battery packs to drive the vehicle, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. They can be charged from electrical outlets or specialized charging stations.

There are different types of electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which run solely on electric power, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which combine an electric motor with a conventional engine. The growth of the electric vehicle market is driven by advancements in battery technology, environmental regulations, and a shift in consumer preferences toward sustainable transportation options. EVs are considered a key component in the transition towards cleaner, more sustainable energy use in the transportation sector.
