2. ELECTRIC CAR An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one electric motor or more, using electric energy stored in batteries or other energy storage device.

3. Electric car are variety of electric vehicle (EV), the term “electric vehicle” refers to any vehicle that uses electric motors for propulsion, while “electric car” generally refers to road-going automobiles powered by electricity. While an electric car’s power source is not explicitly an on- board battery, electric cars with motors powered by other energy sources are generally referred to by a different name : an electric car powered by sunlight is a solar car, and an electric car powered by a gasoline generator is a form of hybrid car. Thus, an electric car that derives its power from an on- board battery pack is form of battery electric vehicle (BEV). Most often, the term “electric car” is used to refer to battery electric vehicle.

4. History Electric cars enjoyed popularity between the mid-19 th century and early 20 th century, when electricity was among the preferred methods for automobile propulsion, providing a level of comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline cars of the time. Before the pre-eminence of internal combustion engines, electric automobiles held many speed and distance records. Among the most notable of these records was the breaking of the 100 km/h (62 mph) speed barrier, by Camille Jenatzy on April 29, 1899 in his ‘rocket-shaped’ vehicle Jamais Contente, which reached a top speed of 105.88 km/h (65.79 mph).
