As the name implies, a car that relies solely on electricity is called a pure electric car.
Just like how we can see the fuel tank, engine, and transmission in a gasoline-powered vehicle, in a pure electric car we can see the power battery and electric motor.
In a pure electric car, energy is stored in the battery, which provides electricity to the electric motor, driving it to operate and propelling the car. In simple terms, it’s similar to the remote-controlled cars we played with as children, where two AA batteries provided power to a motor to drive it. Of course, as a car, it is definitely more secure and functional.
The more common models we see on the road are Tesla, NIO, and so on.
