How an electric car works

The electric car is one of the vehicles targeted by people and institutions concerned about the environment, in search of a means of transport that does not contaminate. However, its price, somewhat higher than that of the traditional ones, and the few recharge points, make that at present they are not yet a realistic alternative.

These car batteries are the ones that provide the power to the electric motor . When they are unloaded, the car can not move. Therefore, before all the energy is consumed, it is necessary to connect the car's battery to the electrical network . Depending on the model, the battery charge may last up to 9 hours.

One of the disadvantages of the electric car is that there are currently not many public charging points. In addition, at the moment, batteries offer little autonomy and electric cars can not reach high speeds.
