Electric cars also have impacts arising from the manufacturing of the vehicle. [43] [44] Electric cars can utilize two types of motors: permanent magnet motors (like the one found in the Mercedes EQA), and induction motors (like the one found on the Tesla Model 3). Induction motors do not use magnets, but permanent magnet motors do.
Since 2010, combined sales of all-electric cars and utility vans achieved 1 million units delivered globally in September 2016, [1] 4.8 million electric cars in use at the end of 2019, [2] and cumulative sales of light-duty plug-in electric cars reached the 10 million unit milestone by the end of 2020.

The electric vehicle battery accounts for 30–40% of the value of the vehicle. [1] Around one-third of the battery's weight is the housing and cooling system. The cathode makes up another 20% and the anode another 10%. [2] Three types of batteries dominate the electric vehicle market.
Fastest acceleration of an electric car, 0 to 100 km/h in 1.461 seconds by university students at the University of Stuttgart. [70] Electric Land Speed Record 353 mph (568 km/h). [71] Electric Car Distance Record 1,725 miles (2,776 km) in 24 hours by Bjørn Nyland. [72] Greatest distance by electric vehicle, single charge 999.5 miles (1,608.5 km).
The term "electric car" typically refers specifically to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or all-electric cars, a type of electric vehicle (EV) that has an onboard rechargeable battery pack that can be plugged in and charged from the electric grid, and the electricity stored on the vehicle is the only energy source that provide propulsion for ...
Ongoing research focuses on disruptive technologies and new business models affecting the evolving global automotive industry and the broader mobility domain. A significant project is an electric vehicle forecasting challenge in cooperation with the Good Judgment Project, based on the work of Philip E. Tetlock and Barbara Mellers. [5]
