The batteries provide power through a controller to the motor, much the same way a golf cart drives. However, there are differences in speed and performance

So, while everyone else is pumping fuel at the gas station, we are plugging in and recharging at night. 

Current calculations indicate it is costing between $.01 and $.02 per mile in electricity to power this car.
