Basic Introduction:
Electric vehicles are cars that rely on electric motors to power them instead of gasoline engines. These cars come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they vary in their driving ranges, that is, the distance they can travel before needing to be recharged. Some electric vehicles can travel over 200 miles on a single charge, while others can only go about 100 miles.
Electric cars are cheaper than gas-powered vehicles because they don’t require the car itself to produce the energy that makes it go. The electricity that charges an electric vehicle is produced in a power plant. This means that any excess electricity from the power plant can be stored, and then used to charge your car later on! Electric cars need far less routine maintenance than gasoline-powered cars do. There are no oil changes, no tune-ups, you just plug them in every once in a while and you’re good to go.
An electric car is a vehicle with one or more electric motors for propulsion. The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1890s, including the 1897 “the electric automobile” invented by Walter Emil Jacobi. They were popular between 1899 and 1901.
Electric cars are slowly gaining in popularity as technology improves and becomes more reliable. More people are choosing electric cars over gas guzzlers, and as a result, more companies are entering the market to meet this growing demand.
