<\/a> A vehicle labeled as BEV uses an electric motor powered exclusively by a battery<\/strong> for propulsion. BEV does not have an internal combustion engine or any other means to generate electrical energy, such as through fuel cells. The maximum range is determined by the battery size, its charge status, operational conditions, and the specific vehicle model. Typically, it ranges from around 300 to 500 km. When the battery is depleted, the vehicle stops moving, requiring a recharge!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Examples of BEV vehicles:<\/strong> Tesla Model 3 and Model S, Renault Zoe, BMW i3 (without Range Extender), FIAT 500e, or Nissan Leaf.<\/span><\/p>\n Electric cars are often misleadingly quoted as having zero CO2<\/sub> emissions. A more accurate definition would be an electric vehicle has zero<\/strong> tailpipe emissions<\/strong><\/a>. In other words, nothing comes out of the specific electric vehicle’s exhaust. However, an electric vehicle consumes electrical energy, which must be produced first! The method of electricity production determines the resulting value of real emissions<\/a>. The calculation of real emissions of electric vehicles uses the so-called energy mix of electricity production<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"BEV](\"http:\/\/www.autolexicon.net\/obr_clanky\/cs_bev_004-600x322.jpg\" "\\"BEV")
