In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have started to take the world by storm. These vehicles get all their power from an electric motor, rather than just from an internal combustion engine. The electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to power the vehicle and turn the wheels. The electrical energy for the motor is stored in a rechargeable battery.
