What are Ev's
An Ev is a vehicle powered by an Electric Motor, instead of an Internal
Combustion Engine and the motor is run using the power stored in the batteries.
The battries have to be charged frequently and this can be done by plugging
into any mains ( 120v or 240V ) supply.
Solar Cars
Solar Car is basically an type of Ev, but the main difference from EV's
is that thebattries are charged using Solar Panels fitted on the surface
of the car. They are much more advanced in terms of battery technology,
system integration and aerodynamics.

History of Ev's
Electric Vehicle has a much longer history than most people realize.Ev's
were seen soon after Joseph Henry first introduced the first DC powered
motor in 1830 The first known electric car was a small model built by Professor
Stratingh in the Dutch town of Gröningen in 1835. The first EV was
built by in 1834 by Thomas Davenport in USA and followed by Moses
Farmer who built the first two passenger Ev in 1847.
There were no no rechargeable electric cells ( Battires ) at this time.
An electric vehicle did not become a viable option until the Frenchmen
Gaston Plante and Camille Faure respectively invented (1865) and improved
(1881) the storage battery.

Why do
we need EV's
Ev's are known as Zero Tailpipe Emissions Vehicals, they are much
environment friendly than Gasoline or LPG powered vehicals. As Ev's have
fewer moving parts, maintenance is also minimal. With no engine there are
no oil changes, tune-ups, timing and most of all no exhauts !!!!
EV's are also far more energy efficient than gasoline engines and they
are very quiet too.

Today
Electric vehicles have been in continual use since the 1900s in various applications. Today these quiet vehicles with no tailpipe emissions are no longer limited to golf carts. New advances in battery technology, system integration and aerodynamics, and research and development by major vehicle manufacturers has led to the producing of electric vehicles that will play a practical role on city streets.
