The process by which electric vehicles are "fueled" using a battery charger that transfers electricity provided by electric utilities into the vehicle battery to "recharge" it.

Designated areas containing external chargers for electric vehicles. Each station contains a plug that attaches to the vehicle, providing it with a current of electrical energy needed for propulsion.

A vehicle that combines an internal-combustion engine with an electric motor.

The standard way to power a traditional gasoline-powered car.
