Electricity
Electricity can be used to power all-electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). These vehicles draw electricity from off-board electrical sources and store it in on-board batteries. PHEVs use electricity to improve fuel efficiency whereas EVs have no traditional fuel tank and therefore are the least polluting vehicle available in the world right now. Both light duty and heavy-duty electric vehicles are now available in the marketplace.
Electric vehicles have lower fuel costs than diesel powered vehicles. The cost savings from maintenance of these vehicles is proven to be lower than maintenance costs on traditional vehicles.
Light-duty and passenger vehicles are not the only ones who can run on electricity. Manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Lion Electric Co., Proterra, Blue Bird Bus and New Flyer make a range of electric buses and trucks, from Class 4 to Class 8.
