electric vehicle batteries

Electric vehicle (EV) batteries are rechargeable energy storage systems that power electric motors. Typically made of lithium-ion cells, these batteries store electrical energy from sources like home chargers or public charging stations. They allow the vehicle to operate without gasoline, reducing emissions and fuel costs. The battery's capacity, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), determines how far an EV can travel on a single charge. Advances in battery technology aim to increase energy efficiency, reduce charging times, and enhance the overall lifespan, making electric vehicles more practical and accessible for everyday use.
