The electric car is one of the technological wonders that the century has produced. It has challenged the way we look at automobiles and been able to apply ordinary technology to give owners a new way to drive and own a vehicle. For a long time, man has relied on the internal combustion engine for all his automobile needs. This engine which runs on gasoline principally has dominated the world of automobiles until recently.

In these few years, the trend has begun to change. Now, people are looking for electric cars. The reason is simple – they want a cheaper way to drive. No more expensive gasoline. Some also want to have a cleaner car – one that produces less smoke.

The electric car has all the parts of a regular gasoline car except one thing – it has no internal combustion engine. This means no gasoline. Instead of a gasoline engine, it rather has a motor that powers it to move. This motor is powered by asset of batteries. The batteries are powered by been arranged in a row and then their powers combined to produce enough current for the car to move. As the car moves the power is sued up. The batteries can be recharged after the car has made some miles.

Unlike conventional vehicles, the battery will not have to be recharged so frequently. It may take the car up to about 1200 miles before it needs a recharge. For city driving, this may be about a week or two.

Today, electric cars can make about 90 miles an hour; making them comparable to any mid sized sedan that you can find. With time, this speed will increase and the batteries will have a longer life.
