    Study Notes

    Electric Vehicles vs. Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles

    • Electric vehicles (EVs) differ from internal combustion engine vehicles in their power source, with EVs running on electric motors and batteries, whereas internal combustion engine vehicles run on gasoline or diesel.

    Cost Advantage

    • Owning an electric vehicle in developed countries can be cost-effective due to lower operating costs, as electricity is generally cheaper than gasoline or diesel fuel.

    Primary Source of Energy

    • The primary source of energy for electric cars is the electrical grid, which can be powered by various energy sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, or solar power.

    Charging Electric Automobiles

    • Electric automobiles are typically charged through a wall socket or dedicated charging station, using a charging cable connected to the vehicle.

    Promoting Electric Vehicles

    • A common policy approach to promote the use of electric vehicles is to offer incentives such as tax credits, rebates, or exemptions from certain fees, as well as investing in charging infrastructure.
