4. ELECTRIC
CARS
Has three main parts;
How does it work?
Controller
Battery
Electric Motor

5. ELECTRIC CARS
When the pedal is pushed;
1. The controller gathers
energy from the battery,
2. Controller delivers the
appropriate amount of
electrical energy to the
motor.
3. Electric energy transforms
to mechanical energy.
4. Wheels turn, vehicle
moves.
