Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are cars that run entirely on electricity stored in rechargeable batteries. Unlike traditional vehicles that use gasoline or diesel, BEVs produce no tailpipe emissions, making them more environmentally friendly. They are powered by electric motors, which provide instant torque and a smooth driving experience.
To recharge a BEV, owners can plug them into a standard electrical outlet or a dedicated charging station. The range of BEVs varies, with some models capable of traveling over 300 miles on a single charge. Popular examples of BEVs include the Tesla Model 3 and the Nissan Leaf.
