Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that are powered entirely or partly by electric energy. Unlike conventional vehicles that rely on internal combustion engines fueled by gasoline or diesel, EVs use electric motors driven by rechargeable battery packs. This technology allows for zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to reduced air pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional vehicles.

Electric vehicles can be classified into several categories: battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which operate solely on electric power; plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which combine an electric powertrain with an internal combustion engine; and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which utilize both a conventional engine and electric power but do not plug in to charge.

The adoption of electric vehicles is driven by advancements in battery technology, reductions in battery costs, increasing range and charging infrastructure availability, and growing environmental awareness. This shift supports global efforts to transition to sustainable transportation solutions.
