electric vehicle

An electric vehicle (EV) is a type of automobile that runs primarily on electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. It uses large batteries to store electric energy, which powers an electric motor to drive the wheels. This results in zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gases. EVs can be charged at home using a standard outlet or at public charging stations. They often have lower operating costs than traditional vehicles, as electricity is generally cheaper than fuel, and they require less maintenance due to fewer moving parts. Overall, EVs represent a shift towards more sustainable transportation.
