Electromobiles is a rapidly growing segment of the car market. In Europe, Japan and the USA in the near future it will constitute from 5 to 10% of the car market.

There are several reasons for sustainable interest to electromobiles:

• electric cars produce less pollution than gasoline-powered cars;
• continuously rising cost of petroleum products and reduce of their inventories;
• lower operating costs (electricity is cheaper than motor fuel);
• high efficiency (89-96%) of the motor (efficiency of gasoline engine is only 20-40%);
• simplicity of design;
• simplicity and ease of operation;
• feasibility of charging from usual outlets;
• low risk of explosion in case of a traffic accident;
• high measurement of pace.

An electric car is a car powered by an electric motor rather than a gasoline engine. The electric motor is powered by a controller, the controller gets its power from an array of rechargeable batteries.

From the outside you would probably have no idea whether a car is electric. In most cases, electric cars are created by converting a gasoline-powered car. When you drive an electric car, the only indication to the type of engine is that it is nearly silent.
