I want to know what are the other good benefits of an electric powered car aside from being ecofriendly to a country or to the society..:D i want also to know if a car which is powered by electricity is faster than an ordinary one..
Answer
An electric car can accelerate faster than a ICE vehicle due to full torque at 0 rpm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=369h-SEBXd8
Batteries are usually placed on the bottom of an electric vehicle. This lowers the center of gravity improving handling and making it far more difficult for the vehicle to tip over: http://www.commutercars.com/
An electric car is about 6 times as efficient as an ICE vehicle:
"The [Tesla] Roadster's motor efficiency, battery-to-wheel, is 92% on average... For comparison, internal combustion engines have a tank-to-wheel efficiency of about 15%." http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Tesla_Roadster
An electric vehicle can travel further on the energy used to refine a gallon of oil then an ICE vehicle can travel using the refined product: see "How Much Electricity is used to run gasoline cars?" at: http://www.evnut.com/gasoline_oil.htm
An electric car is a zero emissions vehicle (ZEV.) If the electricity comes from a clean source the EV will be part of a Zero emissions vehicle transportation system. Even the combination of an electric vehicle and a coal fired power station is cleaner than a gasoline vehicle. http://www.electroauto.com/info/pollmyth.shtml
"Might as well leave the oil in the ground!" http://planet.betterplace.com/forum/topics/electricity-vs-oil
The electric vehicle can actually get cleaner as it gets older if the source of its electricity becomes cleaner. An ICE vehicle gets dirtier as it ages and the engine carbons up.
The electric vehicle uses a domestic fuel. Almost all the electricity used in the US is from domestic sources. (Some electricity is produced in neighboring countries and some is made from oil produced in foreign countries.)
If an electric vehicle has power transmitted to if from the roadway it does not need batteries: http://www.thedailygreen.com/living-green/blogs/cars-transportation/electric-highways-electric-cars-460909
Electric vehicles can easily be fitted with regenerative braking allowing them to recover some of the energy contained in forward movement. This increases efficiency and reduces wear on any braking system.
Electric vehicles have very few moving parts in the drive train and operate at far lower temperatures. This means maintenance will be far less than an ICE vehicle, parts will wear more slowly, with fewer parts repairs will cheaper and not usually required.
Electric vehicles have no oil or air filters, to change the control systems are electronic and not mechanical to go out of adjustment. There is no radiator to overheat or freeze. It requires no antifreeze.
Electric vehicles use an existing infrastructure, the power grid, for fuel. Some reports suggest over 84% of our present fleet of vehicles could be charged with existing equipment if they were charged at night. Electrified roadways would eliminate the need for charging or be used to charge vehicles as well as power them. http://www.redherring.com/Home/pages/print/posts/?bid=deb0b00e-4e3d-46d8-920f-3eb04aa32b13&mode=Full

Do electric cars need wind generators to keep the batteries charged?
Kenneth Ho
An all electric vehicle.
Answer
No, there are a number of ways to charge the batteries. Battery electric cars primarily charge the batteries from a wall outlet.
Solar, fuel cell, and series hybrids can charge batteries using the supplemental power source.
Vehicles that have power transmitted to them can charge batteries in addition to using the transmitted electricity to run the vehicle: http://electric-vehicles-cars-bikes.blogspot.com/2010/10/haloipt-launches-first-wireless.html
There are also a number of ways to capture the power of inertia to charge the batteries these include:
-- Regenerative Braking (usually it is a drive motor that is turned into a generator for regenerative braking but in some cases a separate generator may be used. It is also possible for this to be attached to a fan but this also will have some effect at braking the vehicle.
-- Regenerative suspension (shock absorbers that produce electricity)
It might be possible to park your vehicle at the top of a mountain each night. As you drive down the mountain the regenerative braking could charge the vehicle. However you would have to top off the charge before you climb the mountain again. As they say there is no free lunch.
--A stationary Wind Generator is just one method to produce electricity that can then be used to power the electric grid or an electric car directly.
