- Charging of the battery takes place from a house outlet or at an electric charging station.
- It is crucial to have government support in order to establish electric charging stations at convenient locations.

The EV concept is that all driving is supported completely by the battery. The EV is equipped with an electric motor that is powered by the battery . It is expected that the battery should be able to support 100 to 150 miles range on one full charge of the battery. To support those kind of driving distances a much bigger (higher capacity) battery than a PHEV battery is required. The power requirement for this application is much less because there is much more energy available, and the energy density of the battery is very important. The ability of the battery to accept a fast charging up of the battery would be a strong advantage.
