Ecosystem

An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle powered by electricity, offering an alternative to traditional gasoline or diesel-powered cars. EVs are broadly categorized into Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs).


The battery that stores and provides the electricity for the vehicles is often an integral part of the vehicle and built into its frame, given the batteries are often heavy and as such are best placed close to the ground to lower the centre of gravity of the vehicle to improve handling and provide a degree of protection to the battery.

In order to be charged EV's need to visit a charging station which is compatible with the vehicle's charging system.
