(EV).
The process of using electricity to split water (H<sub>2</sub>O) into its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen.


Any road transport vehicle that uses an electric motor to drive its wheels.
Depending on how the electricity has been produced, this can potentially be a low-carbon technique for producing hydrogen.


Types of electric vehicle include all-electric vehicles and hybrids.


Sometimes known as the electrolysis of water.


All-electric vehicles are powered only by an electric battery.


Hybrids can switch between electric power and fossil fuels.
2. ''Chemistry.''


More generally, splitting compound substances into simpler components by passing electricity through them.


Electric vehicles are more efficient than fossil fuel vehicles, and produce fewer emissions.
The compound substances need to be dissolved in water or another liquid, or molten.
 
However, these advantages are partly offset by inefficiency and emissions in the generation of the electricity they use.
 
 
Conventional fossil fuel vehicles are generally powered by internal combustion engines (ICEs).
 
 
2.  ''Transport - logistics - sustainability.''
 
Any vehicle that uses an electric motor - or motors - for propulsion.
 
Including rail, aircraft and boats, as well as road transport.

1. Energy - sustainability - hydrogen.

The process of using electricity to split water (H2O) into its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen.

Depending on how the electricity has been produced, this can potentially be a low-carbon technique for producing hydrogen.


Sometimes known as the electrolysis of water.


2. Chemistry.

More generally, splitting compound substances into simpler components by passing electricity through them.

The compound substances need to be dissolved in water or another liquid, or molten.
