In electric engines, electric power directly drives the vehicle's motors. They are clean and quiet, and their electric vehicles sound like the perfect setup, until their limitations are factored in. Any source of electricity has drawbacks. Batteries are heavy and take time to recharge, while solar arrays are big and results vary depending on available sunlight.
Some rail units lack their own internal generator, making use of external power provided either through the rails themselves or pylons running alongside the track. All these factors limit electric powered vehicles in range or area of operation in one way or another.[1]
