An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in batteries or another energy storage device...

Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engine technology and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicle...

The energy crises of the 1970s and 80s brought a short-lived interest in electric cars, but in the mid-2000s a renewed interest in the production of electric cars took place, due mainly to concerns about rapidly increasing oil prices and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions...

As of June 2012, series production models available in some countries include the...

The Leaf, with more than 27,000 units sold worldwide by early April 2012...

Electric cars have several potential benefits compared to conventional internal combustion automobiles, including a significant reduction of urban air pollution - see 06-11-2013 01:00; PM2.5; 37.0; 105; Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (at 24-hour exposure at this level)... Retweeted by - as they do not emit harmful tailpipe pollutants from the onboard source of power at the point of operation (zero tail pipe emissions); reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the onboard source of power, depending on the fuel and technology used for electricity generation to charge the batteries...

However, battery prices are coming down with mass production and expected to drop further...

Several national and local governments have established tax credits, subsidies, and other incentives to reduce the net purchase price of electric cars and other plug-ins...

An electric car powered by sunlight is a solar car, and an electric car powered by a gasoline generator is a form of hybrid car...

One way automakers can extend the short range of electric vehicles is by building them with battery switch technology. An EV with battery switch technology and a 100 miles (160 km) driving range will be able to go to a battery switch station and switch a depleted battery with a fully charged one in 59.1 seconds giving the EV an additional 100 miles (160 km) driving range...

Fast Chargers are going to be installed at 45 BP and ARCO locations and will be made available to the public as early as March 2011...

Electric cars contribute to cleaner air in cities because they produce no harmful pollution at the tailpipe from the onboard source of power, such as particulates (soot), volatile organic compounds, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, ozone, lead, and various oxides of nitrogen...

Power sources such as roof top photovoltaic solar cell panels, micro hydro or wind may also be used and are promoted because of concerns regarding global warming... (Wikipedia)
