Correct Answer:
Electric vehicle (EV)
Explanation:
Electric motors convert electrical energy into motion by using magnetic fields to create torque, which turns the wheels. When a vehicle is driven by an electric motor powered by electricity stored in batteries or supplied from a power source, it is an electric vehicle. This distinguishes it from hybrids (which use both electric and gasoline propulsion), gasoline-powered cars (which run on internal combustion engines), and solar cars (which rely on solar energy to power the drive, though the propulsion is still electric).
