how a electric car works

An electric car is a car that runs on electricity instead of gas. It uses an electric motor to turn the wheels instead of an engine. Electric cars are powered by batteries that store energy from the electric outlet or from solar panels. Electricity flows from the batteries to the motor, which turns the wheels. When you press the accelerator, the motor speed increases and the car moves forward. When you press the brake, the motor turns the wheels backwards and the car slows down. Electric cars don’t have exhaust pipes because they don’t burn fuel. That means they don’t produce smog, so they’re better for the environment. They also use less energy than cars with engines, which makes them cheaper to operate. Electric cars are becoming more popular, with more than two million electric cars on the road in 2019. That number is expected to keep growing in the coming years. Fun Fact: Electric cars can be charged up to 80% in as little as 15 minutes!
