Electric Vehicles (EVs) originated in the mid-19th century as electricity had become the most popular method for motor vehicle propulsion. This provided a level of comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline cars of the time.

The major difference between a gasoline and an EV are:

• The gasoline engine is replaced by an electric motor.
• The electric motor gets its power from a controller.
• The controller gets its power from an array of rechargeable batteries.

All electric vehicles contain the following components:

• Multiple rechargeable batteries
• At least one electric motor
• A controller that connects the motor to the accelerator pedal
• A charging system

The rechargeable battery provides electricity to the motor, which in turn controls the vehicle's transmission. When the vehicle's battery needs to be charged, it can be plugged into a standard household outlet (which may take up to 12 hours to charge depending on the outlet voltage), a specialized home charging system, or a public charge station connected to a community power grid.
