An electric car is like a Radio Controlled toy car in that it uses a battery and an electric motor. An electric car might also be compared to an elevator that uses an electric motor to move people in an efficient and pollution free way. (ignoring that the power has to be made somewhere, somehow.)
Older electric cars had simple technology, like an RC toy car, but modern electric cars use electronic motors that wouldn't even work without the electronics.
