An electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses 100% electric power, which is called Electric Vehicle in English, or short for EV. It is a motor-driven vehicle using electrical energy stored in batteries or other electrical energy storage devices. And with the advantages of electric motors that provide instant torque, this type of vehicle has smooth and fast acceleration. And superior to engines that use oil, as well as reducing air pollution because it does not emit toxic fumes from the exhaust pipe. In addition to being environmentally friendly, electric cars have other advantages as follows.

1.  The silence and the desired speed

Electric cars use electric power from batteries to motors to drive. This does not use a combustion engine Therefore does not because internal combustion Makes the sound of the operation of an electric car several times quieter than a car with fuel. And able to achieve the desired acceleration Because there is no longer a gear reduction process Therefore can be able to respond to driving according to the needs of the driver.

And finally, the normal charging NORMAL CHARGE, which will charge from the socket directly into the house. The electricity meter of the house must be able to support a minimum of 15 (45) A and the electrical outlet in the house must be re-installed. It is a wall socket dedicated to electric vehicle charging. Because electric vehicle charging cannot use normal sockets This type of charging is usually an AC charge. Therefore, it takes about 12-15 hours to charge

In the future, charging electric cars will be convenient and efficient. Due to the current charging technology, charging cabinets can be installed at home. In addition, electric service stations of various service providers have plans to make electric vehicle charging points to cover throughout Thailand.
