A Beginner’s Guide to Electric Car Motors
At the heart of the electric car is the motor. Similar to the function of the car’s internal combustion engine, the motor provides all the motive power of the electric car. It is the means through which the car is able to move. Without the motor, electric car would not be able to work.
The electric motor picks its power from the car’s batteries. It operates in the same way as the generator except that it provides movement instead of power for the car.
