Electric cars work an entirely different way. Instead of an engine, they rely on batteries that feed electric power to electric motors that drive the wheels directly. Hybrid cars have both internal-combustion engines and electric motors and switch between the two to suit the driving conditions....
Diesel engines only: Replace the fuel pump If the culprit of white smoke from the exhaust is because the timing of the injector pump is off, you might simply need to reprogram the computer. If that doesn’t solve the issue, you will most likely have to replace the pump entirely....
Are electric cars manual or automatic? Electric cars generally don’t feature a gearbox with multiple gears. This is because an electric motor delivers its maximum torque immediately. Electric motors also have a much larger working range than internal-combustion engines, so they don’t need gears...
