Summary

  • Electric vehicles (EVs) now make up 14% of global passenger vehicle sales, thanks to increasing awareness and regulations around alternative energy and carbon emissions.
  • There are several types of EVs, including micro hybrid EVs, mild hybrid EVs, full hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles (BEVs), range-extended EVs, and hydrogen fuel cell EVs.
  • Each type of EV has its own pros and cons, such as varying degrees of fuel savings, emissions reduction, power boost, driving range, and cost. It's important to consider these factors when deciding whether to switch to an electric car.
