Electric vehicles are considered more cost-effective than fueled ones, not only because they do not use fuel but because it also uses fewer moving parts.

A standard electric vehicle uses a lithium-ion battery since it runs long distances and can retain battery levels longer. Though there are still challenges in using an electric vehicle, car manufacturers have already made some efforts to improve the safety of these batteries.

There are two types of electric cars available on the market today. There are Battery Electric cars (BEV), which only use batteries as their sole energy source. There are also Plug-In Hybrid Electricity Vehicles (PHEV), which use both battery and fuel as their source of power.

Many consumers are looking forward to the models from Tesla, but here are the other electric vehicle models you should look out for.
