February 18th is National Battery Day 🔋

A battery produces electricity using two different metals in a chemical solution. A chemical reaction between the metals and the chemicals frees more electrons in one metal than in the other.

How does an Electric Vehicle (EV) Work?
Electric vehicles store electricity in large battery banks. They are plugged into a wall outlet (either a 240-volt or standard 120-volt) for several hours to charge. An electric
motor powers the wheels and acts as a generator when the brakes are applied, recharging the battery.
