While electric cars are a relatively new automotive technology, they are although fast becoming popular worldwide. A conventional car is very different from an electric car. An all electric car is a type of vehicle that uses a mixture of various technologies such as internal combustion engines, gasoline, electric motors, and batteries to run.
All Electric Cars
All electrical cars are set on batteries that provide electricity to an electric motor in the car, the engine turns the transmission, and the transmission spins the wheels. The attempt here is to increase mileage and reduce emissions as much as possible.
Structure
The structure of the electric car is simple, with the major components being: gasoline engine, motor, generator, fuel tank, battery and transmission. Many of these components are similar, and some even identical to those in conventional cars, but electric cars have different functions and are more convenient for you, your family, and the environment.
Advantages
There are many advantages that are accompanied in an electrical vehicle. Namely, you are saving air of pollutants that would otherwise be spewing into the environment. Electrical vehicles are 100% emission free, and are free of pollution by-products. They provide their power from batteries, solar, or hydrogen fuel cells.
Electric cars therefore are emission free, compact, lightweight, and they are three times as efficient as gas engines. They also have excellent ranges, and are safe to drive.
Electrical cars combine the best of both conventional and electric cars for a true winner. They bring more clean energy from the electric motor with the long-range power of gasoline engines, really giving you the best of both worlds.
Shortcomings
Just as there are advantages, there are some drawbacks to electrical cars. Electrical cars tend to require long recharge times. This means that you can not use a car while the battery is charging. Electric cars also tend to have expensive costs associated with them, should they every break down outside the warranty coverage. Although, the good news is that over the years the repair costs have significantly come down due to manufacturers better understanding the technology, and have become much more adept to building reliable parts.
To decide your next purchase, weigh the advantages and disadvantages in order to identify what is the best electric car for you.

"electric cars are a relatively new automotive technology"
Electric cars outsold gasoline cars in the late 1800's. Check out Thomas Edison's electric car, and Porsche's first vehicle was electric.
"An all electric car is a type of vehicle that uses a mixture of various technologies such as internal combustion engines, gasoline, electric motors, and batteries to run."
An "ALL-ELECTRIC" car DOES NOT use 'internal combustion engines or gasoline' to run. That is what "ALL ELECTRIC" means. Only "GAS-ELECTRIC HYBRID" cars (like the Toyota Prius) use gasoline and batteries to store energy.
"All electrical cars are set on batteries that provide electricity to an electric motor in the car, the engine turns the transmission, and the transmission spins the wheels."
Many "ALL ELECTRIC CARS" DO NOT have a transmission as they don't need to idle like gasoline engines and have their full torque at zero rpm.
"Electric cars also tend to have expensive costs associated with them, should they every break down outside the warranty coverage."
ALL-ELECTRIC CARS HAVE ONE MOVING PART IN THE MOTOR, REQUIRE NO MAINTENANCE, TUNE UPS, MUFFLERS AND MANY OTHER PARTS WICH ADD UP TO BIG SAVINGS. NOT TO MENTION THE MONEY SAVED AT A FEW CENTS PER MILE
"They also have excellent ranges"
THE RANGE OF AN ALL ELETRIC CAR IS THE ONE OF ITS MAIN DRAWBACKS, DO SOME RESEARCH IF YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE PEOPLE ADVICE!!!!!
"Electrical cars combine the best of both conventional and electric cars for a true winner. They bring more clean energy from the electric motor with the long-range power of gasoline engines, really giving you the best of both worlds."
AGAIN TALKING ABOUT GAS-ELECTRIC HYBRIDS WHICH WON'T RUN WITHOUT GASOLINE.
