The 4 Types of Electric Vehicles and How to Charge Them

EV Connect

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Also known as “all-electric vehicles”, BEVs are powered and fueled by electricity only. The “fuel” comes from your domestic electricity supply or a commercial EV station, and the drivetrain is 100% battery-powered. They don’t even use power when stuck in traffic. There are roughly 2.4
