Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that are powered entirely or partially by electric energy. They utilize electric motors for propulsion, drawing energy from rechargeable batteries, which can be charged from external power sources. EVs aim to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable transportation. There are various types of electric vehicles, including fully electric vehicles (BEVs), which operate solely on electricity, and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Electric vehicles are gaining popularity due to advancements in battery technology, increasing concerns about environmental impact, and the push for cleaner energy options.
