Electric Car Introduction
Electric vehicle have been around for a number of years now and a number of new technical innovations and tax advantages mean they are increasing with popularity. They are powered by an electric motor (DC or AC) which draws its power from an on-board battery packs which act as an energy store. Batteries, usually Nickel metal-hydride or Lithium-ion are charged by simply connecting the vehicle to a mains power supply, and is usually charged overnight for a full charge. A feature of most modern electric cars is the regenerative braking system which allows the battery to be topped up when the brakes are applied.

Current electric vehicles available in the UK tend to be smaller 2 seater cars which are smaller and therefore lighter however a number of 4 seat cars are planned. A range of 40 to 100 miles is achievable with top speeds from 25 to 45 mph. This makes them favoured by city drivers, especially where a congestion charge is in force such as London where huge savings can be made and traffic is generally low speed with shorter distances travelled. Because electric cars are zero-emission vehicles, they generally have many tax advantages in addition to the fact you never need to fill up with petrol. Emissions are however produced during the generation of electricity to charge the car, but this can be overcome with the use of a renewable energy supplier.
