Inhaltsangabe

"Electric Vehicles have lithium-ion, or li-ion batteries that provide power to electric motors that turn the wheels. When the brakes are applied, technology known as regenerative braking captures the energy and converts it to electricity further chargingthe battery. Like all other passenger cars, SUVs, and most pickup trucks, EVs are categorized by the government as light duty vehicles. Heavy duty vehicles, including delivery vans, buses, and large trucks, can also be EVs. Many consumers refuse to purchase all-electric cars because of range anxiety, the fear that the car will run out of power on the highway. Problems at charging stations, like those experienced by Granholm, are another factor that limits public acceptance of EVs"-- Provided by publisher.
