We
examine how electric vehicles and vehicles operate, how environmentally
beneficial they are, and if they are the way of the future for global
transportation.
In this
post, Marek Majtan explores what electric vehicles
are and how they work. We’ll also examine how sustainable they are, and whether
they’re the solution for the eco-friendly transport of the future.
How
do electric vehicles work?
Let's
start with a definition of an electric vehicle. Vehicles are known to be used
to move vehicles or products, whether by land, sea, or air. An electric motor
(also referred to as an EV) is transportation that uses electricity, typically
by electric motors driven by batteries and fuel cells.

As a
result, electric vehicles have been available for a longer time than you might
believe. But, what about today's technology? Aside from electric

that transport goods.
A
variety of organizations are developing electric logistics vehicles, ranging
from huge trucks to freight handling.

Transportation
systems are already very common in China, and adoption in Europe is increasing.
Approximately 38% of the railway network in the United Kingdom is electrified.
Electric trams are also very popular all around the world.
Aircraft.
Electric
airplanes are still in their early stages of development. Modern passenger
jets, according to some experts, would "need batteries weighing nearly
twice more than its present fuel intake, implying that it would never get off
the ground." However, advancements are now being made, and electrical
planes are already available.
What
is the charging time of an electric Transport?
When it
concerns fully electric charging, there are some factors to consider. The first
is the type of battery used, which is usually a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery
with capacities ranging. The type of charging used is also important; a regular
household 7kW charging point will be much slower than a fast 150kW charger.
As an
example, the 2019 Tesla Model S has a 75kWh battery. To fully recharge it,
estimates suggest 11 hours for a 7kW charger, but less than an hour for a 150kW
charger.
