Electric vehicle. A cyclical story of death and resurrection

Abstract

An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine. The electric motor gets energy from a controller, which regulates the amount of power. The electric car (EV) uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries, which are recharged by common household electricity. Historically, EVs have not been widely adopted because of limited driving range before needing to be recharged, long recharging times, and a lack of commitment by automakers to produce and market electric cars that have all the creature comforts of gas-powered cars. That’s changing. As battery technology improves (increasing energy storage and reducing cost). Electric cars no produce CO2 emissions, reduce our dependency on oil, and are cheaper to operate. Of course, the process of producing the electricity produce emissions, but even dirty electricity used in electric cars usually reduces our collective carbon footprint. It showed briefly the evolution of electric vehicles associated with the technological advances and costs.
