Electric cars do not use gasoline, produce greenhouse gases, and are significantly more quiet and energy efficient than regular internal combustion engine cars.
An electric car is an automobile that it propelled by electric motors that use electric energy provided by rechargeable batteries.
Electric cars were first invented in the 1800’s. They became popular at the turn of the century, but usage declined as the mass production of cheap gasoline began. Electric cars began to return in the 1970’s as a result of the energy crisis, but interest was short-lived.
The advancement of batteries and energy management, as well as concern of diminishing fossil fuels and the need to reduce greenhouse gases in the 21st century gave electric car manufacturers the means and incentive to begin mass-producing electric cars.
