Electric Vehicles vs Traditional Vehicles

The main difference between an electric vehicle and a traditional petrol/diesel vehicle is the power source.
Electric vehicles are powered by electric motors, while traditional vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines.

History of Electric Vehicles

Interest in electric cars declined in the 1920s due to the discovery of large oil reserves and the subsequent lower cost of gasoline.
The resurgence of interest in electric vehicles in the 1970s and 80s was contributed by the oil price shocks and growing environmental concerns.
The technological developments in the 2000s, such as advancements in battery technology, led to the increased adoption of electric vehicles.

Working Principle of Fully Electric Vehicles

A fully electric vehicle uses electric motors powered by a battery, which is charged from an external power source.
The battery stores electrical energy, which is then used to drive the electric motor, propelling the vehicle.
The electric motor is more efficient than traditional internal combustion engines, resulting in lower energy consumption and emissions.
