The evolution of battery technology grew hand in hand with automobiles, it wasn't long before vehicles operating purely out of electricity began to occupy the streets and have received good reception from all masses.Today Electric Vehicles have fewer running costs and are environment-friendly as they utilize minimum, or no fossil fuels compared to conventional vehicles. In the business years, EVs have gained prominence among the masses as they are more economical to operate, do not emit tailpipe emissions, and reduce oil dependency. According to a research, the top players in the electric vehicles companies are developing advanced technologies for the production of zero- and low-emission vehicles with improved fuel efficiency and soundless operations.
