An '''electric car''' ("EV", for "electric vehicle") is a type of [[car]] that runs on [[electricity]]. Because it runs on electricity it is a zero emission car, a car that doesn't produce [[pollution]] at the point of use. It is probable that some type of [[fossil fuel]] would have been used to generate the electricity in the first place, in some cases all the electric car really does is move the pollution somewhere else.

There is no environmentally safe means of disposal of the 900-pound battery required for electric cars.<ref>https://www.ocregister.com/2022/01/27/what-happens-when-millions-of-electric-car-batteries-get-old/</ref>

In cold weather electric cars must divert their energy to providing heat, which a combustion engine does simply by running.<ref>https://www.libertynation.com/the-cold-facts-on-electrical-vehicles/</ref>  It is predictable that electric cars that are stranded in snowstorms will be unable to continue to heat the car as a traditional engine would.
