712 - How do electric vehicles differ from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles?

Electric vehicles (EVs) and gasoline-powered vehicles are different in a few key ways.

  1. Power source: EVs use electricity from batteries, while gasoline-powered vehicles use gasoline.
  2. Engine: EVs have an electric motor, but gasoline-powered vehicles have an engine that burns gasoline.
  3. Fueling: EVs are charged by plugging into a power outlet, while gasoline-powered vehicles need to be filled up with gasoline at a gas station.
  4. Emissions: EVs don't produce any emissions, which helps reduce air pollution, while gasoline-powered vehicles do produce emissions.

Overall, EVs are a cleaner, quieter, and more environmentally friendly option.
