Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles powered by electric motors using energy stored in rechargeable batteries, eliminating the need for internal combustion engines and fossil fuels. They include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that run solely on electricity and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that combine electric and gasoline power. EVs are a key technology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing sustainable transportation.
Developers should learn about electric vehicles to build software for EV charging infrastructure, battery management systems, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications, which are critical in the growing clean energy sector. This knowledge is essential for roles in automotive tech, smart grid development, and IoT solutions for transportation, as EVs integrate with renewable energy and smart city ecosystems.
