Electric car (vehicle) review

An electric car is a plug-in battery powered automobile which is propelled by electric motor(s).

An electric vehicle (EV), also referred to as an electric drive vehicle, uses one or more electric motors for propulsion.

Electric vehicles include electric cars, electric trains, electric lorries, electric airplanes, electric boats, electric motorcycles and scooters, electric kick scooters and skateboards, and electric spacecraft.

Electric vehicles first came into existence in the mid-19th century, when electricity was among the preferred methods for automobile propulsion, providing a level of comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline cars of the time!

In 2003 the first mass produced hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle, the Toyota Prius, was introduced worldwide, and major auto companies have plans to introduce plug-in hybrid and true battery electric vehicles in showrooms in 2010 and 2011.

The electric motor can also serve in regenerative braking that will recharge the batteries and assist in increasing the longevity of the brake pads.

It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.
