You probably already know that EVs are more energy efficient than cars with internal combustion engines (ICE). The Basics Battery electric vehicles, sometimes called BEVs or just EVs, get their power from a lithium-ion battery instead of gasoline or diesel fuel. How Do Electric Cars Work? How Are EVs Manufactured?

Four nuclear-powered merchant ships have been built so far, all of them government-led projects begun mostly for developmental and testing reasons rather than purely commercial ones. The first was the American NS Savannah , built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 million (an eye-popping $495 million today).
