elektrisõiduki
Elektrisõiduk is the Estonian term for an electric vehicle. An electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. They are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries. The most common type of electric vehicle is the electric car, but the term also encompasses electric motorcycles, buses, and trucks. The primary advantage of electric vehicles over internal combustion engine vehicles is their lack of tailpipe emissions, contributing to improved air quality in urban areas. They also tend to be quieter and have lower running costs due to cheaper electricity compared to gasoline or diesel and fewer moving parts requiring maintenance. Charging an electric vehicle can be done at home using a standard electrical outlet or a dedicated charging station, or at public charging stations. The range of electric vehicles has been steadily increasing with advancements in battery technology, making them a viable option for daily commutes and longer journeys.
