Get your electric vehicle going again
The definition of an electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. An electric car is an alternative fuel automobile that uses electric motors and motor controllers for propulsion, in place of more common propulsion methods such as the internal combustion engine.
Electric vehicles include cars and golf carts. These vehicles can be powered through a collector system by electricity from off-vehicle sources, or self-contained with a battery.
Because they are relatively new to the automotive scene, it can be difficult to find mechanics who are experienced with electric vehicles. That’s why contacting an electrical vehicle Expert on JustAnswer can be a good alternative, especially as Experts are available day or night.

- I bought a Model S 2014, 85 kilowatts. Why does the performance of the car drop as the battery gets lower?

- I drove my 2012 EZ TXT through some standing water a couple of weeks ago, and now even though the meter says it’s charged, it won’t start. What’s wrong?
