Report on Electric Vehicles vs. Motor Vehicles

 

Introduction

Transportation is a cornerstone of modern society, connecting people, goods, and services across the globe. As technology evolves, so too does the means of transportation. In recent decades, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) motor vehicles. Both offer unique advantages and challenges, influencing factors such as environmental sustainability, economic impact, infrastructure requirements, and technological advancements.

This report explores the historical evolution of both types of vehicles, their current status, and their potential to shape the future of transportation. It also provides a detailed comparison of their pros and cons, enabling a nuanced understanding of their roles in modern and future societies.
