| | Battery electric vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, if the electricity is produced from fossil fuel sources (as most electricity currently is) the advantage of the electric vehicle is reduced, or nearly eliminated. | | | The electrical energy carried onboard a BEV to power the motors is obtained from a variety of battery chemistries arranged into battery packs. | | | Some feel that the introduction of the electric starter by Cadillac in 1913, which simplified the difficult and sometimes dangerous task of starting the internal combustion engine, was the downfall of the electric vehicle, as 1912 may have been the pinnacle year for BEVs. |

| | DRIVECLEAN.GOV - Vehicle Type - Electric Vechicle |
| | Electric vehicles (EVs) are cars that run on electricity stored in batteries. | | | EVs are often confused with hybrid electric vehicles which combine an internal combustion engine with a battery. | | | To recharge the batteries, there is a charger component on the car which takes the electricity from a power source (ultimately the power plant) and converts the current from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). |

| | Like the motor assisted scooter, neighborhood electric vehicles can be driven on any street or highway with a posted speed limit of 35 M.P.H. or less, and may cross streets or highways with a higher posted speed limit. | | | However, unlike the motor assisted scooter, a neighborhood electric vehicle must be registered and have a license plate. | | | Legislature amended the law to separate neighborhood electric vehicles from motor assisted scooters. |

| | EVCO - Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa |
| | An electric vehicle, or EV, is a vehicle driven by an electric motor instead of by an internal combustion engine (ICE), and fueled by electricity from a battery instead of by a tank of gasoline. | | | We expect that the widespread adoption of electric vehicles will only occur when the major manufacturers produce electric or hybrid cars that are comparable in cost and performance to gasoline-powered cars. | | | The GM electric vehicle is now called the EV-1 and became available for lease in very limited numbers at a few Saturn dealerships in California and Arizona only beginning in December, 1996. |
