Some electric cars partially operate on electricity as they use an electric engine that is powered by fuel cells or from batteries. The hybrid electric vehicles have both an electric motor that is powered by batteries that can be charged by plugging it in and a diesel or gasoline-powered engine. However, there are some electric vehicles that run entirely on electricity. Still, there are others that convert hydrogen gas into electricity for power. When it comes to the greenhouse effect and air pollution, electric vehicles are cleaner than the other options in the market today. Then again, the cleanliness level depends upon the source through which electricity is derived. If the electricity is obtained from clean renewable sources of energy, such as wind or solar energy, then it can result in no emissions. Although these electric cars are costly, the available state and federal incentives assist in making them affordable electric cars.
