Electric Vehicle Basics
An all-electric vehicle (EV) uses a battery to
store the electrical energy that powers the motor.
EV batteries are charged by plugging the
vehicle into an electric power source. They are also equipped with regenerative
braking systems to capture the kinetic energy normally lost during braking and
store it in the battery.
EVs are far more efficient than conventional
vehicles and produce no tailpipe emissions. They also typically require less
maintenance because the battery, motor, and associated electronics require
little to no regular upkeep. Plus, electric vehicles experience less brake wear
thanks to regenerative braking and have fewer moving parts and fluids to change
relative to conventional vehicles.
