Here there are a few interesting facts about electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are considered as the future of the automotive industry. Electric car and other EVs help out to reduce environmental pollution.
2. Electric cars do not have exhaust system
Pure Electric Vehicle (Battery Electric Vehicle) does not have an exhaust system
A motor propels the electric vehicle converting electric energy from battery to the mechanical
energy
There is no combustion in an electric vehicle

3. Manufacturers plan to add engine noise to Electric
Vehicles
EV has to make a noise when it travels at low speed
EU had already implemented
In US, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration require EV and HEV to make artificial
noise up to a speed of 18.6 mph
EV owners can choose which fake sound they want in their car

4. Electric Cars become affordable
Li ion battery price drops continuously
The initial cost of the vehicle will also decrease
Lithium-ion batteries cost $1,000 per kWh in 2010
By 2017 that cost had fallen to $200 per kWh

7. Electric Cars require less maintenance
No exhaust, no complex gear, no engine, no engine cooling, etc.
Regenerative braking improves life of the mechanical braking system

8. EV Market grows faster
Internal Energy Agency forecasts a growth of EVs from 3 millions to 123 millions by 2030
Most of the vehicle manufacturers declared their Electric Vehicle policy

10. Charging Stations Outnumbered Gas
Stations in Britain
Almost 80% of gas stations have been closed since 1970

12. The biggest EV market is China
USA, Norway, Japan, UK, France, Germany, and Netherland also position top in the EV market
They sold more than 100000 BEVs in total

13. Precooling is easier in an electric car
Interior of the can be heated even before starting the car
High voltage battery helps out to do it

14. You can charge an EV battery by regenerative
braking
The kinetic energy of the vehicle dissipates as heat in friction braking
In regenerative braking, the KE would be converted into electrical energy and stored in the
battery

15. Electric vehicles get green number plates now
Electric vehicles in some nations such as UK, Canada, and India get green number plates
In Ontario, Canada, both BEV and HEV get green number plates
Not only to distinguish from other vehicles but also to provide some benefits later
