Where do electric cars get their energy from?
It comes from storage batteries. Those batteries are recharged by either an engine or from the electric grid. Electricity from the electric grid comes from Hydro electric plants, coal fired plants, gas fired plants, wind power turbines, or solar energy.

What role does weather play in solar cars?
Without solar energy being able to be absorbed by solar panels on a car, it will or will eventually die, and need to be recharged.
How good are new electric cars?
While traditionally electric cars have had a reputation of having limited driving ranges before needing to be recharged and long recharging times, that is changing. The battery technology is improving, which is leading car manufacturers to have more dedication in their search for the perfect electric car (hybridcars.com/electric)
Do electric cars have batteries?
Yes, they do. Any device which runs on electricity, must have one or more of:A generatorBatteriesA cord (to plug into an outlet)Your watch, your smartphone or iPod, a laptop or tablet, and yes electric cars: all run on batteries, which need to be recharged periodically.
How are the solar powered car and the electric alike and how are they different?
Solar powered cars have a solar panel somewhere on the outside of the car, and the energy is either directly run to the wheels, or charges a battery, which then powers the wheels, where as electric powered cars use only a battery, which can now be charged using a regular plug.
What are some science fair ideas for electric cars?
Solar powered car, wind car.ect.
Why do electric cars need to be charged up regularly?
Electric cars run on batteries. Batteries do not have infinite power resources and gradually deplete their energy and either need to be replaced or recharged. It's best to keep your electric car charged up as you never know when you might need every ounce of energy in an emergency situation.
What does it cost to have your cars ac evacuated and recharged?
depends where you live
Why are oil companies afraid of the electric car?
oil companies rely so much on people buying there fuel for there cars, that if everyone would get electric or solar cars, then they wouldn't make a large profit.
What are the uses of solar cars?
The advantage a solar powered car would have over any internal combustion or alternatively powered car is that the fuel would come directly from the sun and would be almost entirely free. There are costs associated with the actual vehicle, batteries, PV Cells and such but the actual fuel is free. Presently there are only a few experimental "cars" that are completly solar powered. They are not yet "cars" as comparable to the present state of automobiles science as they have no radios, air bags, air-conditioning or any of the other things that make up a car. They are mostly just four wheels, electric motors, batteries, steering and not much more. Alternatively an electric car, with batteries that are recharged by wind or solar are the best use of solar energy presently. Remember that solar energy is what causes winds so wind mill energy is really just another form of solar energy.
What is better a solar or electric powered car?
I would say solar because it could run all day when it is light out, and pretty long at night since the energy is stored into the solar panels. Electric powered cars have to be charged and you don't get to many hours out the charging.
