What is an EV?
An electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors to power its wheels. It does not use an internal combustion engine, which means it does not produce emissions.

How do I know if an EV is right for me?
There are several ways to determine if it is right for you

• Driving habits. If you have a short commute and don’t often drive long distances, an EV may be a good option for you.
• Availability of charging stations in your area. If you live in an area with a lot of charging stations, an EV will be more convenient for you.
• Budget. EVs can be more expensive than gas cars, so make sure you factor in the cost of the car, the cost of charging, and the cost of any potential repairs. However, be aware that  maintenance is less than an ICE.

What is difference between an EV and a Hybrid?
A Hybrid car is a type of vehicle that has both an electric motor and a gas engine. The electric motor powers the car at low speeds, while the gasoline engine powers the car at higher speeds. Electric cars, on the other hand, only have an electric motor. This means that electric cars are more efficient than hybrid cars at low speeds, but they have a shorter range.

How do EVs operate?
An EV works by using an electric motor to power its wheels. The motor is powered by a battery, which is typically made of lithium-ion cells. The battery can be charged by plugging the vehicle into an electric outlet.

The battery: This is the source of power for the electric motor.
The electric motor: This is the device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to power the wheels.
The controller: This is the device that controls the flow of electricity from the battery to the motor.
The charger: This is the device that is used to charge the battery.
The other components of a gasoline-powered vehicle, such as the steering wheel, brakes, and tires.

What are the charging times?
The amount of time it takes to charge an electric car depends on the size of the battery and the type of charger being used.
