In general Electric Vehicles are of three types:- 1.    Online Electric Vehicles 2.    Onboard storage type Electric Vehicles 3.    Hybrid Electric Vehicles In Online Electric Vehicles the electric power required by the vehicle is provided by external sources, such as through overhead wire or by rails etc. This method of providing power is generally used in Electric Trains, Trams, etc. The vehicles used for heavy load. O nboard storage type Vehicles have onboard storage of electricity needed to run the vehicles. Such vehicles are made for personal use such as in electric cars. Hybrid Vehicles have both internal combustion as well as electric motor to run the vehicle, such vehicles also possess battery to store electricity and can charge the batteries by the internal combustion engines, such vehicles are made to use as personal vehicles in areas where frequent facility of charging the vehicles is not available.  Construction of Online Electric Vehicles

An  electric vehicle , also called an  EV , uses one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion. An electric vehicle may be powered through a collector system by electricity from off- vehicle sources, or may be self-contained with a battery, solar panels or an electric generator to convert fuel to electricity. EVs include, but are not limited to, road and rail vehicles, surface and underwater vessels, electric aircraft and electric spacecraft.  EVs first came into existence in the mid- 19th century, when electricity was among the preferred methods for motor vehicle propulsion, providing a level of comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline cars of the time. Modern internal combustion engines have been the dominant propulsion method for motor vehicles for almost 100 years, but electric power has remained commonplace in other vehicle types, such as trains and smaller vehicles of all types. In the 21st century, EVs saw a resurgence du
