How Electric Vehicles Work

Unlike gas-powered vehicles, EVs use an electric motor and rechargeable battery pack instead of an internal combustion engine. They store energy from a charging station in their battery, which then moves the wheels, while many electrical parts work in the background. Learn more about how electric cars work and explore EV components.

Three Types of EVs

100% Electric

All-electric vehicles use only battery power and need to be recharged by plugging into the electrical grid when the battery is low. Because battery electric vehicles like LEAF and ARIYA run on electricity only, 100% electric vehicles produce zero emissions. [[1130]]

In e‑POWER vehicles, the gas engine is used only to generate electricity, which is then distributed directly to the electric motor to drive the wheels, as well as to charge the battery if needed.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles like the Nissan Rogue PHEV feature both electric motors and a gas engine to deliver a certain amount of all-electric driving range for everyday trips, plus the versatility of a gas-hybrid engine to go farther when needed.

Charging an EV

Nissan EVs are meant to be driven like any other car. So whether it's your daily commute or a road trip adventure, all you have to do is charge up the battery to get going. [[1127]]
