It is a more efficient way of driving because it doesn’t release smog, carbon monoxide, or other gases polluting our atmosphere. The battery also has something called an inverter, which transforms chemical energy into electrical energy.

Since the car is battery powered, you never have to worry about your car overheating. The electrochemical battery is going to be more efficient as it is going to develop more and more through the next years and in the future cars and the world itself will be battery powered. The chemical energy in a battery is changed to electrical energy because the electrons formed inside the battery cell collect at the negative terminal from the battery and are released by the motor, inside the battery, at the positive side of the battery.
