Content: Depending on an EV’s make and model, there are a few standard plugs and corresponding vehicle outlets and battery types, but generally speaking, an EV uses electrical energy stored in its fuel cells to power a motor that physically spins the wheels — just like those old Victorian-era vehicles. Once the EV has had its fill of electricity, the range will depend on the specifications of your ride. More batteries can supply more power, but they also create more weight that the engine will need extra power to overcome. Fewer batteries can make for lower curb weight and more-efficient driving, albeit with a much shorter range and a slower recharge time that can make longer trips more challenging. Electric Avenue
More than 100 years after the first introduction of electric vehicles , infrastructure and technology is catching up and ready to support the proliferation of electric vehicles. Technological advancements in battery efficiency and design allow modern EVs to go hundreds of miles on a single charge. As gas stations, garages, retail centers and governments invest in infrastructure, the growing network of charging stations across the country is allowing EV drivers to extend their range even further. With more than 18 million EVs in 350-plus different models expected on the road by 2030, we should see many more EV charging stations in even further-flung locations over the next decade.

With greater demand for electric charging, businesses looking to provide their customers with different charging options will have to invest in equipment and software — and fast, before they are left in the dust. With all the various levels of charging and dozens of charging station manufacturers, catching up to consumer needs in just a few short years may seem daunting.
