< Back EV (Electric Vehicle) A vehicle powered entirely by electricity stored in batteries. Electric vehicles (EVs) use electric motors instead of internal combustion engines. Energy is stored in high-voltage batteries that supply power to the drivetrain. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and offer quiet, efficient operation. Charging can be done at home or at public stations using AC or DC power. Battery management systems (BMS) control temperature, voltage, and charging rate to extend lifespan. EVs require less maintenance since they have fewer moving parts. The global shift to electric mobility continues to accelerate with government incentives and expanding charging infrastructure.
