  2. Vehicle classification by propulsion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Classification_by...

    These vehicles are propelled by at least one electric motor. [1] [2] Good example is an electric locomotive that is drawing power directly from overhead wire or third rail. "Electric vehicle" is often cleverly interchanged with "Electrified vehicle" [3] which doesn't specify what kind of powertrain vehicle actually has. Electric vehicles do not ...
