What is an "electric car"?
An electric car is a vehicle powered by electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. It uses one or more electric motors, which are powered by rechargeable batteries. Electric cars are known for being more environmentally friendly compared to traditional vehicles because they produce no harmful gases. They are also quieter and can be more cost-effective to maintain, as they have fewer moving parts than gasoline-powered cars. Electric cars can be recharged using home chargers or public charging stations.
