What is an Electric Car?
A modern electric car is a sleek, technologically advanced vehicle powered entirely by electricity. Unlike traditional gasoline-powered cars, electric cars use batteries to store energy and electric motors to drive the wheels. This design offers a quiet and smooth driving experience, with instant torque for quick acceleration. Modern electric cars come equipped with various smart features, such as advanced driver-assistance systems, large touchscreens, and over-the-air software updates. They also typically have regenerative braking systems that help recharge the battery while driving. With increasing ranges—some models offering over 300 miles on a single charge—electric cars are becoming more practical for everyday use. They are also eco-friendly, producing zero emissions and contributing to a cleaner environment.
The Different Kinds of EVs
Electric vehicles (EVs) come in three main types: full electric vehicles (also known as battery electric vehicles or BEVs), hybrid vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). Each type has its unique characteristics and benefits, catering to different driving needs and preferences.
Full electric vehicles (BEVs) run entirely on electricity, with no internal combustion engine. They rely on a large battery pack to power an electric motor, which drives the wheels. BEVs are known for their zero emissions, making them an environmentally friendly option. They offer a quiet, smooth ride and often feature advanced technology and connectivity. The range of BEVs varies depending on the model and battery capacity, with some newer models offering over 300 miles on a single charge. Charging can be done at home, at work, or at public charging stations, and with advancements in fast-charging technology, it's becoming more convenient to keep them powered up.
Hybrid vehicles (HEVs) combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor and a smaller battery. The electric motor assists the gasoline engine during acceleration and can also power the vehicle at low speeds, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. The battery is recharged through regenerative braking and the internal combustion engine, meaning HEVs don't require external charging. Hybrids are a good choice for those looking to improve fuel economy without relying solely on electric power.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) offer a middle ground between BEVs and HEVs. PHEVs have both an electric motor and a gasoline engine, but they come with a larger battery than standard hybrids, allowing them to operate solely on electric power for a limited range—usually between 20 to 50 miles, depending on the model. After the electric range is depleted, the gasoline engine takes over, making PHEVs versatile for both short trips and longer journeys. They can be plugged in to charge the battery, offering the convenience of driving on electricity while still having the backup of a gasoline engine for extended range. This flexibility makes PHEVs an attractive option for drivers who want to reduce their carbon footprint without worrying about range limitations.

Electric vs. Plug-in Hybrid
In addition to hybrid vehicles and fully electric cars, there is a third breed of new electric vehicle technology: The Plug-in Hybrid.
What is the difference between a fully electric car, a standard hybrid and a plug-in hybrid? Like hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids have both electric and gas motor. The major difference is that on a plug-in hybrid, the gas motor is held in reserve in case your battery runs out of change. In other respects, a plug-in hybrid functions more like a fully electric car, in that it primarily relies on an electric motor, powered by a large battery that you plug in to charge.

Electric Vehicle Frequently Asked Questions
One of the many benefits of owning an all-electric vehicle (EV) is that you'll never need to visit a gas station. And charging it is as simple as plugging in a power cord, just like any other household electronic device. But since electric vehicles are essentially a complex, self-contained power plant, there's value in understanding the various aspects that affect charging performance, battery health, and cost of ownership. Keep reading for answers to some of the most commonly asked questions regarding the charging and regular maintenance of an all-electric vehicle.
What Are the Basics of Charging an Electric Vehicle?
Every electric vehicle can be charged by plugging in the appropriate cable into any household power outlet. This method is called Level 1 charging, and is accomplished with the power cord that's included as part of the lease or purchase of the electric vehicle.
This is the most convenient form of charging because all you need is access to a standard electrical outlet found in the garage or on the outside of your home - there's no setup or modifications required. But since the battery capacity of an electric vehicle is quite large, and household electrical systems aren't industrial strength by nature, Level 1 charging is the slowest method of replenishing power.
What Is Level 2 Charging?
Waiting nearly two days to charge your vehicle is obviously not ideal, which is why all electric vehicles offer a faster charging speed obtained via Level 2 charging. This higher power delivery is most commonly found in commercial parking lots in malls or shopping centers, and also designated EV parking spaces in office complexes. Some Level 2 charging stations are offered as complimentary perks, but others may require a paid subscription or one-time payment to activate charging - the electricity you're using isn't free after all. Level 2 charging significantly speeds up the process, with many electric vehicles reaching an optimal operating range after about 4 to 8 hours of being plugged in. Keep in mind that the power delivered by Level 2 charging stations can vary, and ultimately, your vehicle is in control of how quickly it can charge.
The speed and convenience of Level 2 charging can be had in your home too, but it may require professional installation of charging equipment, and possibly modification of your home's electrical panel if there isn't enough capacity.
What Is Quick Charging?
"Quick Charging" or Level 3 charging is the fastest form of recharging available today, and can only be found at dedicated stations which require a subscription or payment. But the benefits are well worth the cost, especially if you're taking a long road trip or forgot to charge your vehicle the day before.
Today's newest electric vehicles are really able to take advantage of Level 3 charging. When connected to a 350 kW DC fast charger, your electric vehicle will charge the fastest!
Where Are Charging Stations Located?
With electric vehicles becoming more popular, charging stations are easier to find than ever, especially if you live in a large metropolitan area. Many major malls, grocery stores, and office buildings have dedicated EV parking spaces with charging stations, and more "EV rest stops" are popping up alongside America's most popular freeways.
EVgo, Electrify America, and ChargePoint are examples of the growing networks of charging stations in the country, and finding specific charging stops is as simple as visiting a website or mobile app. Many EVs will already have these charging locations programmed in the navigation system, and Android Auto or Apple CarPlay will also have this information on-hand.
When Is the Best Time to Charge an Electric Vehicle?
In some ways, EVs are just like your smartphone, in that the best time to charge it is, honestly, whenever you have convenient access to power. This could be when you're at work, shopping for groceries, or simply parked at home for the evening.
Because the element of time is unavoidable with electric charging, I personally like to always top off whenever I can so I don't end up with a low battery and "range anxiety." When charging at home, utilize the EV's built-in scheduling function to automatically charge during non-peak hours to reduce electric bill costs and network load.
What is MPGe?
In the past, the vast majority of vehicles on the road were fueled by gas or diesel. So it made sense to measure efficiency by how many miles a vehicle could travel on a gallon. Hence the familiar MPG on the window sticker.
But when the automotive industry began to pivot toward electric vehicles, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) needed a new measurement. MPGe stands for "miles per gallon equivalent." In creating the MPGe standard, the EPA based it around the fact that the energy in a gallon of gasoline was equivalent to 33.7 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
