 Why are Ev's called electric when they are battery operated? 
 @aba3e4c9 batteries produce current and voltage for a limited time. 
 @aba3e4c9 because the batteries store and release electricity. 
 @aba3e4c9 because calling them "coal fueled" or "nuclear powered" would be less appealing. 
 @aba3e4c9 What EVs... 😜  Btw, if the are charged at home, they would call it "domestic battery" and that sounds wrong. #SillySunday
