READ MOREThe development of electric vehicles represents a significant breakthrough in the dispute over pollution and the inadequate supply of fuel. The reliability of the battery technology, the amount of driving range it can provide, and the amount of time it takes to charge an electric vehicle are all constraints. The eradication of these
READ MOREElectric vehicles (EVs) of the modern era are almost on the verge of tipping scale against internal combustion engines (ICE). ICE vehicles are favorable since petrol has a much higher energy density and requires less space for storage. However, the ICE emits carbon dioxide which pollutes the environment and causes global warming. Hence,
