Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that are powered entirely or partially by electricity. Unlike conventional vehicles that rely on internal combustion engines and fossil fuels, electric vehicles utilize electric motors and rechargeable battery systems. EVs can be classified into several categories, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which run solely on electric power, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which combine a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric propulsion system, allowing them to operate on both gasoline and electricity.
Electric vehicles are known for their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease air pollution, and lower dependence on oil. They can be charged at home or at public charging stations, and advancements in battery technology continue to improve their range, efficiency, and charging speed. EVs are gaining popularity due to environmental benefits, government incentives, and the growing awareness of sustainable transportation solutions.
