Explanation: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are a type of electric vehicle that relies exclusively on electricity stored in onboard batteries for propulsion. Unlike hybrids or internal combustion engine vehicles, BEVs do not use fossil fuels and have no tailpipe emissions. They are seen as a critical solution for sustainable transportation. However, their adoption is influenced by factors such as driving range, battery production impact, and charging infrastructure availability.
