The battery powers the car and is charged at a charging station. Here's where the so called green thing goes awry. The electric charger gets power from the power grid which is powered by either coal, gas, or nuclear power. I'm sure electric cars will be the new future of automobiles, but for now the technology is not up to the promise.

What is the future of electric vehicles compared to other alternative fuels such as ethanol?
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular. They are not a traditional alternative fuel. Electric vehicles are expected to have an increase in the battery life, making them more popular with consumers.
How would you manage without fossil fuels?
Just fine thanks to solar panels, windmills, and electric vehicles.
What fuels fuel cell cars?
Fuel cells in vehicles create electricity to power an electric motor, generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.
When was Miles Electric Vehicles created?
Miles Electric Vehicles was created in 2004.
Are hybrid vehicles renewable?
No, they run on fossil fuels.
How do Electric Vehicles Work?
By electric volts
Why must most vehicles in the world run on fossil fuels?
There is a history of gasoline and diesel vehicles. The infrastructure to fuel these vehicles is already in place contrary to an all electric, NG, or Hydrogen vehicle of which there is almost no in fracture to refuel them. The technology has progressed to the point that vehicles today are very clean, and get fantastic mileage. Also price is a consideration.
Working principle of brushless dc motor?
Traction motors are used in electrically powered rail vehicles such as electric multiple units and electric locomotives, other electric vehicles such as electric milk floats, elevators, conveyors, and trolleybuses, as well as vehicles with electrical transmission systems such as diesel-electric, electric hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles. Additionally, electric motors in other products (such as the main motor in a washing machine) are described as traction motors.
Why are hybrid vehicles different from electric cars and gasoline powered vehicles?
hybrid vehicles run on both an electric motor and gas motor ... electric car run of a power cell the is charged by pulling it to an electric out let and or power box
What has the author M H Westbrook written?
M. H. Westbrook has written: 'The electric and hybrid electric car' -- subject(s): Electric vehicles, Hybrid electric vehicles
Are ride on sweeper scrubber electric vehicles?
Yes, they are electric.
Do all vehicles release carbon dioxide?
If the vehicles have internal combustion engines burning fossil fuel, then, yes, they release carbon dioxide (CO2). So any vehicles running on petrol, petroleum, gasoline, diesel, aerogas, aviation fuel, kerosene, natural gas and others, even coal fired steam engines release CO2 (from before the time of the dinosaurs).Renewable fuels for vehicles, like ethanol, biofuel, biodiesel, biogas and others also release carbon dioxide (removed from the atmosphere when the plants grew).Electric vehicles release no CO2, but they might be responsible for CO2 emissions if their electricity comes from fossil fuels. Electric vehicles charged with electricity from renewable sources release no carbon dioxide.
