What are the differences between electric vehicles and gasoline cars?

[DeGiselle]

There are many differences between electric vehicles and gasoline cars, such as different powertrains, chassis structures, and driving ranges. The specific details are as follows: Power system: Gasoline cars use engines and transmissions, while electric vehicles do not have transmissions and instead use electric motors. However, electric vehicles offer cheaper daily maintenance, lower driving noise, better low-to-medium speed performance, more advanced technological features and configurations, and less environmental pollution. Chassis structure: Generally, electric vehicles have a lower center of gravity because their battery packs are installed on the chassis, and the electric motor is compact and lightweight, resulting in a lower overall vehicle center of gravity. Driving range: Electric vehicles have a shorter driving range compared to gasoline cars, and using air conditioning in summer and winter can further affect the range. In winter, lower outdoor temperatures can also impact the performance of the electric vehicle's battery.
