EV Technology Definition

EV (electric vehicle) technology refers to the technological advancements used in the production and development of electric vehicles. By utilizing electricity to power automobiles, trucks, and other vehicles, EV technology is intended to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimize the environmental impact of transportation.

Electric vehicle technology involves the substitution of internal combustion engines with electric motors and batteries. These electric motors convert electrical energy stored within the vehicle into mechanical power, propelling it forward. The batteries store and release the required electrical energy to power the motor. In addition, EV technology includes regenerative braking, which captures braking energy and feeds it back to the battery, and advanced control systems that optimize power consumption.
