What are Electric Vehicles ?
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are vehicles powered by electric motors, using energy stored in batteries or another energy storage device. Unlike conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles that run on fossil fuels, EVs rely on electricity, making them more environmentally friendly due to reduced emissions. Types of Electric Vehicles Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): These vehicles are fully electric, powered solely by rechargeable battery packs. Examples include Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf, and Chevrolet Bolt. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): PHEVs have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. They can run on electricity for a certain range before switching to gasoline. Examples include the Toyota Prius Prime and Chevrolet Volt. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs): HEVs also have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine, but the battery is charged by the engine and regenerative braking, not by plugging in. Examples include the Toyota Prius
