Quick Guide to Electric Cars
How do electric cars work?
Electric cars use a battery to store energy and an electric motor to power the vehicle—no fuel, no exhaust emissions.
The battery
The battery is the core of the car and determines how far it can travel. It typically lasts between 8-15 years.
Charging types
- Fast charging: Available at public stations.
- Home charging (Wallbox): Most convenient.
- Standard plug: Slower, but works as a backup.
Charging time
Varies by charger type, from under 1 hour (fast charging) to 4-8 hours at home.
Driving range
This is the distance the car can travel on a single charge, usually between 250-1000+ km depending on the model.
Running cost
Electric cars run on electricity instead of fuel, making them more cost-efficient over time.
Maintenance
Lower than traditional cars, with fewer moving parts and no need for oil changes.
