Best Answer

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) is a type of electric vehicle that is powered solely by an electric motor and relies on rechargeable batteries for energy storage. It does not have an internal combustion engine like traditional gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. Instead, BEVs use a large battery pack to store electricity, which powers the electric motor to propel the vehicle. BEVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and offer a clean and environmentally friendly transportation solution.

What are the differences between electric cars and gas cars?

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.
