An electric car, battery electric car, or all-electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or

more electric motors, using only energy stored in batteries. Compared to internal combustion

engine (ICE) vehicles, electric cars are quieter, have no exhaust emissions, and

lower emissions overall. In the United States and the European Union, as of 2020, the total cost

of ownership of recent electric vehicles is cheaper than that of equivalent ICE cars, due to lower

fueling and maintenance costs. Charging an electric car can be done at a variety of charging

stations; these charging stations can be installed in both houses and public areas.

Worldwide, 6.6 million plug-in electric cars were sold in 2021, more than doubling 2020 sales,

and achieving a market share of 9% of the global new car market. All-electric cars represented

71% of plug-in car sales in 2021. As of December 2021, 16 million plug-in electric cars were on

the world's roads. Many countries have established government incentives for plug-in electric

vehicles, tax credits, subsidies, and other non-monetary incentives while several countries have

legislated to phase-out sales of fossil fuel cars, to reduce air pollution and limit climate change.

The Tesla Model 3 became the world's all-time best-selling electric car in early 2020 and in June

2021 became the first electric car to pass 1 million global sales. Earlier models with widespread

adoption include the Japanese Mitsubishi i-MiEV and the Nissan Leaf. Together with other

emerging automotive technologies such as autonomous driving, connected vehicles and shared

mobility, electric cars form a future mobility vision called Autonomous, Connected, Electric and

Shared (ACES) Mobility.

A motorcycle (motorbike, bike, or trike (if three-wheeled)) is a two or three-wheeled motor

vehicle steered by a handlebar. Motorcycle design varies greatly to suit a range of different

purposes: long-distance travel, commuting, cruising, sport (including racing), and off-

road riding. Motorcycling is riding a motorcycle and being involved in other related social

activity such as joining a motorcycle club and attending motorcycle rallies.

The 1885 Daimler Reitwagen made by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Germany was

the first internal combustion, petroleum-fueled motorcycle. In 1894, Hildebrand &

Wolfmüller became the first series production motorcycle. Globally, motorcycles are comparably

popular to cars as a method of transport. In 2021, approximately 58.6 million new motorcycles

were sold around the world,[6] fewer than the 66.7 million cars sold over the same period.

In 2014, the three top motorcycle producers globally by volume

were Honda (28%), Yamaha (17%) (both from Japan), and Hero MotoCorp (India). In

developing countries, motorcycles are considered utilitarian due to lower prices and greater fuel

economy. Of all the motorcycles in the world, 58% are in the Asia-Pacific and Southern and

Eastern Asia regions, excluding car-centric Japan.According to the US Department of

Transportation, the number of fatalities per vehicle mile traveled was 37 times higher for

motorcycles than for cars.
