These vehicles are propelled by at least one electric motor that gets the power from onboard battery. [5] Energy can temporarily be held in a different device (flywheel, supercapacitor). It is generally accepted to drop the word "Battery" for all vehicles that clearly have it on board.
Under existing road traffic legislation, the use of an e-scooter on public roads is not permitted.

Car life cycle. Automobiles have significant energy use in their life cycle, not directly attributable to the running of the vehicle. An important consideration is the energy costs of producing the energy form used by the automobile. Bio-fuels, electricity and hydrogen, for instance, have significant energy inputs in their production.
