INTRODUCTION
Research skills is the ability to search for, extract, organise, evaluate, and locate and use
of present information which is relevant to the particular topic. This includes investigation,

equipments such as air conditioner or heater. Another electric vehicles is Plug in hybrids , they
can switch between electricity an fossil fuels. There power range is between 10-40 miles. They
are considered as the lower battery vehicles. Another is Fuel cell vehicles which generate their
own electricity on- board. They are similar to the petrol car. Modern days government of UK is
encouraging to take the use of electric vehicles because they can contribute to the wider range of
