for this type of vehicle no fuel tank, fuel line are needed. Moreover, the cost price of electric car
is comparatively less than fuels vehicle. Some of the electric vehicle utilise lead acid or nickel
hybrid batteries to operate. With the purpose to have the battery who have longer life uses
lithium which can be cost effective to the customers. Such battery has excellent energy to run the
vehicle for longer distance and have long lasting retaining power. It has also increased efficiency
which can create various challenges while running the vehicle and there may be some issue with
