electric vehicle



Battery Electric Vehicles, also called BEVs, and more frequently called EVs, are fully-electric vehicles. There are also Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles,

There are three main types of electric vehicles (EVs), classed by the degree that electricity is used as their energy source. BEVs, or battery electric vehicles, PHEVs of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and HEVs, or hybrid electric vehicles. Only BEVs are capable of charging on a level 3, DC fast charge.
