Abstract
An electric car is a vehicle powered by one or more electric engines, utilizing energy stored within batteries that are rechargeable.

The goal in this work is to present the overall overview of the structure of the electric, hybrid and electric-hybrid vehicles, advantages and disadvantages of these types, the main points to focus when maintaining these and the challenges involved in its production and maintenance.
