ABSTRACT
However, there is a lot we do know about electricity—well sort of. We use it every day in multitudes of applications; thus, we must know something about it.
And we do know something about it. For purposes of this presentation, we will simply state that electricity is the flow of electrons.
Flow of electrons?
Yes, and we will get to that.
For now, and more importantly, to get even at the margin of the science of electric vehicles, it is imperative that we understand what electricity is and how it works and how it is produced and how it is used in powering vehicles. Therefore, the next chapter of this book presents a discussion of basic electricity so that the reader can understand how electricity is produced and used to propel electrical vehicles (and light up lightbulbs and so on and so forth).
