An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle powered by an electric motor using energy stored in rechargeable batteries. EVs include all-electric models and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) that also have a fuel engine.

Electric vehicles use electric motors powered by batteries. These motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the wheels, offering a smooth and quiet driving experience.

Charging times depend on battery size and charger type. Standard household outlets (Level 1) can take several hours, while fast chargers (Level 2 or DC fast charging) can reduce charging time significantly.

The range depends on battery capacity and driving habits. Most modern EVs offer 150–300+ km on a full charge, with some premium models exceeding 500 km.

You can charge at home using a standard outlet or a wall-mounted charger. Public charging stations are available in cities, highways, malls, and offices for convenient top-ups.

Yes, EVs function in cold weather, though range may reduce slightly. Preheating the car while plugged in and using battery preconditioning features can help maintain performance.

EVs generally require less maintenance due to fewer moving parts and no oil changes. Regular services include brake checks, battery health, and tire rotation, often making them more economical.
