The problem with electric cars is, where does the electricity come from to charge them up?

Most electricity is generated by burning coal or oil. Some is hydroelectric, and some is generated by burning natural gas. If you are burning oil or natural gas to generate electricity for your electric car, you are WASTING half of it; it would be better to carry the oil or natural gas with you, and use it for fuel.

The only electricity source that really makes sense for electric cars is something that cannot be made portable, and produces less total pollution that burning gas; nuclear or hydroelectric powerplants. Unfortunately, there isn't nearly enough nuclear or hydro power to waste on electric cars.

How can i create a small model of car which runs with the help of sound energy by using microphone and electric motor?

You can create a small model of a car by attaching a microphone to the car to capture sound energy. The microphone will then convert the sound waves into electrical signals which can power an electric motor attached to the wheels of the car. As the microphone captures sound waves, it will generate electricity to drive the motor and make the model car run.
