An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine. The electric motor gets energy from a controller‚ which regulates the amount of power transmitted throughout the vehicle‚ based on the driver’s use of an accelerator pedal. The electric motors give electric cars instant torque‚ creating a strong and smooth acceleration pattern. Electric cars are about three times more efficient than cars with an internal combustion engine. A pure-battery electric car uses energy stored

The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It is a spin-½ lepton that participates in electromagnetic interactions‚ and its mass is less than one thousandth of that of the smallest atom. Its electric charge is defined by convention to be negative‚ with a value of −1 in atomic units. Together with atomic nuclei‚ electrons make up atoms; their interaction with adjacent nuclei is the main cause of chemical bonding. The name "electron" comes from
