Electric Vehicle - Page 2

An electric vehicle (EV) is a type of motor vehicle that is powered entirely or partially by electricity. Instead of using a conventional internal combustion engine running on petrol or diesel, electric vehicles use an electric motor that draws power from a battery pack. This can result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and lower operational costs compared to traditional vehicles. There are various types of electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that operate solely on electric power, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) which combine both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that can be charged from an external power source. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles is driven by advancements in battery technology, regulatory incentives, and a growing emphasis on sustainable transportation solutions.
