See here that the class `ElectricCar` inherits or `extends` the public methods from `Car` class, as well as has its own methods and properties. Cool way to pass on information!
Inheritance is a way for *Object Oriented* languages to share properties from an existing class to a new class. The new class can use the properties of the old one, but the old one cannot use the new properties added into the new class.
Also notice the usage of <a href='https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/super.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>super</a> keyword here. Since our `Car` class had a constructor, so we have to initialize that constructor from the child class as well. We do that using the `super` keyword. Read more about <a>Inheritance here</a>.
