The future: electric cars

Electric car became popular in the late 19th century and are a plug-in battery powered car propelled by an electric motor.
I think that electric cars are a great invention but due to the advantages in internal gasoline engine technology and cheaper gasoline vehicles that led to a decline in the use of these electric vehicles. Only in the last years there has been a  renewed interest in the production of electric cars due probably to the concern deriving from the  rapidly increasing of oil prices.

Electric cars have many advantages compared to internal combustion automobiles: for example electric cars produce a significant reduction of urban pollution, of greenhouse emissions and a less  dependence on foreign oil. But also if the adoption of electric cars has potential benefits there are still  several barriers and limitations: these cars are more  expensive than conventional cars due to the cost of their lithium ion battery and also because there are not available many recharging infrastructure. Many governments have developed policies and economic incentives to overcome existing barriers, but I think it is still not enough.

Many batteries, like lithium-titanate,  can be fully charged in just 10–20 minutes (it is called fast recharging) , but it requires a very high currents. It also very important a  careful charge management in order to prevent damage to the batteries through overcharging. Otherwise a normal work day or overnight home  recharge can take from six to eight hours (depending on discharge level). It is also true that many people prefer recharge at home in order to avoid the inconvenience of visiting a public charging station.

If you are planning to buy an electric car you should decide in advance how much money you want to spend. This can help you to figure out the right motor without loosing time on more expensive models.
On internet you can find all the information regarding the different batteries, models, prices... it would be better for you to have a look on the web before starting your research!
