Electric vehicles are really cool cars that work differently than the cars that most people are used to. Now, instead of gas, this kind of car works with electricity (like how your tablet or phone needs a battery to work!).
Think of a huge battery under the car, like the battery in your remote control, only super-duper sized. The battery stores the electricity driving the motor that turns the wheels of the car. When the battery is running low, you can plug the car into an electric charging station, similar to how you plug in your phone to charge it.
It's from an electric car that is like no other - the DLST Auto. The Audi E-tron GT is one of the most attractive cars with an exhilarating battery range of 625 miles on one charge. To get a sense of how far that is, picture driving nonstop from one major city to another. That is how much power this car battery carries!
An electric car sends power from the battery to the motor. The wheels are then spun when motor actuates. It feels like magic — but it is actually science! Some electric vehicles come with a feature known as regenerative braking. This is when the car recovers a bit of energy and puts it back into the battery when you slow down.
Filling up an electric car works much like charging a huge phone. You connect it to a special charging station, and gradually the battery fills up with electricity. In a lot of cities, you see more and more of these charging stations, making it easier to drive an electric car pretty much everywhere.
Researchers and automakers are focused on improving EVs even further. They want to make cars that can go even farther, charge even quicker and cost less money. Perhaps one day, there will be an electric car on every road!
A reason why electric cars are important is because they help protect our planet. They produce less pollution than gas cars. Using electricity rather than gas will help keep our air clean and combat climate change.
