An electric car runs on a battery-powered electric motor rather than a gasoline engine. It has three main parts: a battery, motor, and controller. When the accelerator is pressed, the controller directs electricity from the battery to power the motor, which transforms the energy into mechanical motion to turn the wheels. Electric cars provide environmental benefits over gas vehicles as they produce no direct emissions and can use recyclable batteries.

6. ELECTRIC CARS
When the pedal is pushed;
1. The controller gathers
energy from the battery,
2. Controller delivers the
appropriate amount of
electrical energy to the
motor.
3. Electric energy transforms
to mechanical energy.
4. Wheels turn, vehicle
moves.
