Electric Cars
Electric cars run on electricity stored in batteries, powering an electric motor instead of a gasoline or diesel engine. This reduces emissions, improves air quality, and supports the shift to cleaner energy sources. As the electricity grid becomes greener, the environmental benefits of EVs will continue to grow.
How They Work
Electric cars use battery packs to store energy, which powers an electric motor to drive the wheels. Charging can be done at home or public charging stations, with advancements in fast-charging technology improving convenience.
Benefits of Electric Cars
EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing urban air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. They also have lower running costs due to fewer moving parts and cheaper electricity compared to traditional fuels.
Challenges & the Future
Widespread EV adoption challenges grids with higher electricity demand. Battery production raises mineral supply and environmental concerns, but advances in recycling and alternative materials could help.
