Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by electric motors using rechargeable batteries or other energy storage devices. EVs gained popularity in cities in the early 20th century due to their quietness and non-polluting nature. However, high battery costs and limited range hindered their growth. In the 1970s, concerns about pollution and oil dependence renewed interest in EVs. Today, advancements in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and environmental concerns have led to a surge in EV popularity. The market is projected to reach $823.75 billion by 2030, with automakers like Mercedes announcing plans to go completely electric by that time.

This eBook aims to provide a comprehensive explanation of the innovations and technologies that have fueled the growing demand for EVs, specifically focusing on the revolution in battery technology and charging infrastructure.
