Electric vehicles use electric motors for propulsion, drawing power from rechargeable batteries in battery-electric cars. Regenerative braking can return some energy to the battery as a vehicle slows, and electric motors deliver power without the engine and exhaust system found in conventional gasoline cars. The broader electric-vehicle field also includes plug-in hybrids, which combine electric drive with an internal-combustion engine. The names represented here include manufacturers such as NIO and Polestar, as well as the Tesla Model 3, connecting the category to both EV makers and a specific passenger-car model. Together, they place the collection within the expanding world of electric mobility.
