What is an electric car?

Electric cars are powered by a battery powered electric motor. Electric cars were quite an environmentally friendly option as they required no fossil fuel such as the internal combustion engines. These energy efficient automobiles do not contribute to urban air pollution as they don’t emit harmful tailpipe pollutant gases.

The energy required for an electrical powered vehicle to operate is taken from an electrical outlet from a charging station or from a domestic wall socket. Though electric car charging points may be effectively installed and used at a residence, electric car charging stations provide faster and safer results and are also easily accessible. The frequency of electric car charging changes with each car and as each make of engine requires different energy requirements to operate.

In order to fully charge an electric car battery, it takes up to eight hours, once again, depending on the maker of the car and its type of engine. However, due to regularly placed car charging stations, there is hardly any need to charge a car fully as drivers can effectively use these charging points at will.

Electric cars produce no green house gases and are not dependant on fossil fuels of which the supply is depleting and prices are ever escalating. Certain charging stations have taken a further step towards energy conservation by installing solar panels and making the most out of readily available solar energy. If one feels the need to reduce their carbon foot print, an electric car or a hybrid vehicle is the best option.
