Autos and Automotive

An electric vehicle (EV), also referred to as an electric drive vehicle, is a vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Depending on the type of vehicle, motion may be provided by wheels or propellers driven by rotary motors, or in the case of tracked vehicles, by linear motors. Electric vehicles can include electric spacecraft, electric trains, electric airplanes, electric boats, electric motorcycles and scooters, and electric cars. Electric cars are one of the simplest forms of self-propelled motorized transportation. The engine or the driving mechanism of an electric car is made up of a series of batteries attached to an on and off switch that in turn is attached to an electrically operated motor.
