Electric Vehicles (EVs): There are a variety of different electric vehicle technologies on the market. The most common include plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). Plug-in hybrid vehicles use an electric motor (powered by a battery and an internal combustion engine that runs on gasoline) and can be plugged in to an electrical outlet to recharge. Battery electric vehicles use an electric motor powered by a battery, while fuel cell electric vehicles use a fuel cell instead of a battery (or in combination with a battery or supercapacitor), to power an electric motor.
