FAQs about electric driving
What is an electric vehicle? An electric vehicle, also known as an EV, uses one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion. The energy used to drive an EV is stored in the battery and the battery is charged at a charging station (at home, in the office or in public).What are the differences with an internal combustion engine vehicle? EVs differ in more facets than just size and engine power of combustion engine vehicles. For example, an EV has:
•A quiet engine and automatic transmission with only one gear
•No tailpipe emissions
•More interior space due to the lack of a large engine
•A battery that needs to be recharged. Charging infrastructure is therefore a mustHow safe are electrical vehicles? Electric vehicles are approved for all safety factors, just like conventional vehicles. In the event of a collision, there is a possibility that some parts may receive an active charge or that short-circuiting causes an electrical fire, though the safety precautions and construction have limited this risk to an absolute minimum.
