4. What is an electric car?
An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one
electric motor or more, using electrical energy stored in batteries
or another energy storage device.
5. How it works?
The heart of an electric car is its battery. Unlike the
batteries in most cars, which primarily serve to start the
engine and run the accessories, the battery in an
electric car runs everything.
9. Renault example
For Renault, the electric vehicle is a real long-
term solution to today’s environmental and
noise pollution issues in cities. Technological
innovations now make it possible to mass market
an electric vehicle at reasonable cost.
