Here's why:
* Gas cars: Use a lead-acid battery to start the engine and power accessories like headlights and radio. This battery is relatively small and provides a short burst of power.
* Electric cars: Use a large, high-voltage battery pack to power the electric motor and drive the car. These batteries are significantly larger and more powerful than the batteries found in gas cars. They are typically lithium-ion batteries.
So, while both types of cars have batteries, their purposes and types are completely different.
