The increasing unbalanced population and energy necessity have pushed researchers and technology-oriented argument owners into searching for different and more efficient energy sources. It has also updated its direction with the "electricity" option in the change of transportation technologies, which is the main cause of depleting oil resources and increasing emissions. For the last 50 years, vehicles used in transportation sectors (land, air, marine) adapted themselves either to hybrid or pure electrical power systems. Especially in the last 20 years, with an increasing trend and social favorable, the values and effects of "electric vehicles" (EV) have increased positively and have taken their place in the sector. In this book section, among the topics that the authors promised their readers, the state of the art and short history of EV technology, reasons for its emergence and development, advantages and disadvantages, technologies that evolved in its development process, and preliminary information about supply-demand situations and costs are given. In more detail, EV types, components, structures, topologies, hybrid EVs; battery EVs; fuel cell EVs differences and comparisons; battery and material technologies; energy efficiency; charging and filling stations/capabilities; control strategies, and reachable market data issues were covered. The last chapter of this book section, where recent works are mentioned in detail, is devoted to ideas about the future predictions of EVs in technology, environmental, and sociological terms. Since it is believed to be much more sustainable than oil and its derivatives with limited resources of electrical energy obtained in different ways and "near limitless", EVs will continue to use both in terms of performance, efficiency, and supply-demand trends over the next decades. Besides, transportation vehicles (ships, planes) that need "huge power" with the further development of materials and battery technology will tend to be electrified. As a result; in the energy family, EVs will be talked about more in the next century and will be the main subject in engineering life in terms of many types of research and products. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Muhammad Asif.
