The standard type of electricity in homes and the most effective way of powering an EV. In an AC circuit, the voltage swings between positive and negative meaning current flows in both directions.

A vehicle powered by fuel other than gasoline or diesel. Examples of alternative fuels are electricity and hydrogen.

As opposed to a hybrid-electric vehicle or a fuel-cell electric vehicle; usually just called an EV.

A form of electricity where current only flows in one direction. This is the form of electricity produced by batteries and the most common system used in EV conversions.

A measure of how much energy has been withdrawn from a battery. It is expressed as a percentage of the total battery capacity. For example- if you use 25ah of a 100ah battery, that is running the batt [..]

A vehicle that runs on electricity stored onboard in a battery pack.

The standard way to power a traditional gasoline-powered car.

A measure of power. Power is energy per time.

A type of rechargeable battery that has the ability to supply high surge currents and as a result the cells maintain a relatively large power-to-weight ratio.

A type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode (anode) to the positive electrode (cathode) during discharge, and from the cathode to the anode when charged.
