Best Answer

The biggest difference is the source of power putting the vehicle in motion. An Electric car will contain an Electric Motor providing propulsion. A Gas car will contain an Internal Combustion Engine providing propulsion. An obvious requirement is that both the Electric driven vehicle and Gas driven vehicle will need to be fueled. The electrically driven vehicle has a battery that will need to be recharged. The gasoline driven vehicle naturally needs to have the tank filled. The biggest drawback for electric cars is the battery life being so short. However, battery life is improving as this is being answered - with manufacturers providing better batteries.
