Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are vehicles that are powered solely by electricity stored within an on-board-battery. They are recharged by plugging the car into a mains outlet or a dedicated electric vehicle fast charger, and range is typically restricted by battery capacity. BEVs do not emit emissions.
Examples: Nissan Leaf, all Teslas, Hyundai Kona, Porsche Taycan
