Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles powered by electricity stored in batteries, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. They come in three main types:
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): These EVs rely solely on batteries for power, emitting no tailpipe emissions. They need periodic recharging via electrical outlets.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): PHEVs combine an internal combustion engine with a battery, offering flexibility. They can operate on electricity or gasoline, reducing emissions and providing longer ranges.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs): HEVs use both a gasoline engine and an electric motor. They generate electricity through regenerative braking but cannot be plugged in for charging.
