How do electric cars work?

The concept behind electric-powered cars is very simple. Electricity is stored in an electric car battery pack – this electricity is used to power the car’s motor and drive it into motion. As the electric car relies on a battery, one of the key differences for owners is that you will need to regularly charge your car. An increasingly broad network of public charging points is accessible across the UK for charging on-the-go. You can also charge your EV at home or at work with a Shell Recharge charge point. As battery range gets longer and charging points multiply, EV cars are becoming much more comparable with ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles in terms of distance and range.
