Automobile

Electric cars vary from the average car you see on a day-to-day basis, this specific type of car is starting to make more appearances in the world due to their efficiency to the atmosphere. What makes an electric car stand out is that they are propelled and powered by an electric motor. The way this specific type of car functions is that it uses electrical energy that is stored in rechargeable batteries either under the hood or in the truck. What makes electric cars unique is the level of silent while being driven on the road rather than your standard gasoline engines. Of course, with everything, there will be a downside to it. Recharging an electric car can take a long time, sometimes up to hours which is an enormous difference than filling

To start off you must look at the efficiency of both types of vehicles. For this purpose we will take the most bought electric car, the Nissan Leaf, and a basic good mpg fossil fuel car, Mazda 3i hatchback (using 2016 models). The Nissan Leaf attains a lofty 114 mpgE, while the Mazda 3i gets 34 mpg. These numbers seem misleading, because the range of these vehicles is much different. The Nissan Leaf only has a range of 84 miles despite such a high mpg, while the Mazda 3i has an estimated 448 mile range. The cost to drive the Mazda 3i 28.1 miles, which the national average miles per gallon for automobiles, is $2.06 dollars using 10/9/17 prices. The cost of driving the Nissan Leaf 28.1 miles is 1 cent due to electricity being a less expensive commodity than gasoline.

The United States of America is one of the biggest automobile markets in the world. This trend has also created awareness for environmentalist to bring attention to rising level of pollution and emission within the cities and metropolis. As response, the U.S. Government is encouraging the automobile manufacturers to produce clean and renewable alternative vehicles that will drastically reduce pollution and emission. Subsequently, the automobile industry has witnessed a gradual introduction of environmental friendly vehicles that use clean and renewable energy to encourage less pollution and safer environment. The manufactures of these vehicles have introduced into the market three categories of electric passenger car

Due to advancement in technology, there has been an increase in emission of pollutants from the vehicles. Electric cars do not produce pollutants which are very important for the cities to stay green and pollution free as the air quality has deteriorated a lot.

But what should be considered seriously is that at this high price and the competition of the other three franchise dealer, could the company gain the adequate market share of the hybrid vehicles. The most well-known PHEVs are Chevrolet Volt and its price is only $41000. The other point should be considered is though the market area is the wealthiest in the U.S., how much willing do they have to purchase a high price hybrid-electric car and really to buy. The third question is the delivery date and the back-out rate. How to shorten the delivery date and reduce the back-out rate, could the company negotiate with the Fisker Automotive Inc to get better conditions?

First there’s Vauban, Germany were accorded to the article the 70 percent of the population does not have a car and the 57 percent sold it to live there. It is curious the way people feel relief without having a car instead of being stressed. Many people in America would be going crazy because is essential to have a car in the daily American life. This is a nice idea because in the article says that “Passengers cars are responsible for 12 percent of

Time and time again our dependency on the automobile is present. For our lives exist the way they do because of the automobile and could not exist any other way with it. “[Our] ability to participate both physically and symbolically in American cultural life depends on the car”, (Best, 2006). The automobile defines the life we live and often, “cars serve as ‘extended selves’”, (Best, 2006). Tom Vanderbilt states that since we spend so much time in our cars we are

Electric cars today are considered to be more expensive to purchase than their internal Combustion Engine counterparts. It is noticeable that electric powered vehicles tends to be more costly than diesel powered ones. For example, the Tesla Model S, currently the best equipped and most expensive electric powered car on the market, ranges around $70,000 - $80,000+ price range. The Nissan Leaf Electric Vehicle lists at $29, 800, comparable to cars

All Electric Vehicles use battery packs to store the electrical energy that provides power to the motor. These types of vehicles are charged by plugging the vehicle to an electrical power source. Since this car does not produce direct exhaust or emissions, it’s been said to be a zero-emissions vehicle. The use of fuel is not needed with this vehicle so this helps reduce petroleum consumption. This type of vehicle has a short range per charge than conventional vehicles

With the quick advancements in technology during the past decades, electrical cars are now more efficient than ever. As of today, there are 3 types of vehicles – electric, combustion, and hybrid; I will be focusing mainly on full electric engines vs full combustion engines. While new combustion car technologies have already already been halted for many years, electrical cars in the other hand, is rapidly improving. To start off, lets compare the differences between these two, lists the pros and cons of an electric engine, and discuss the future of electric cars.

The steady increase in electric vehicles over the past 10 years is a result of gasoline scarcity. Many believe this reason plus environmental factors are what forced scientist to develop an alternative. The idea of a vehicle running off of electricity without a combustion engine sounds very extreme and futuristic. The majority of people fail to realize the electric car was originally introduced in the late 1800’s, but was eventually put to rest with the conveniences of gasoline power. The two currently competing sources of automobile energy have already duked it out about a century ago, and the once defeated electric car is off the mat for round 2. As described in Technologies Tortoise and Hare (2000DATE?) “It is a dynamic process of competing strategies and, for the automotive industry, a very traumatic even in a vital historical drama.”

The automobile has been an extremely prominent part of today’s society. It is a necessity among the worlds population to own a car or have access to one because they help meet the peoples demands. The automobile provides a huge freedom of mobility for the people because without this incredible machine many everyday events could not be possible. The electric car was born and built in the late 1800’s by William Morrison of Des Moines, Iowa. Morrison was always considered a “wiz kid” of the battery and was always interested in the chemistry of a storage battery and behind how it worked as a young man. The electric car from its birth to present day has evolved greatly. At the electric cars birth, the electric automobile started out having

For many years, automakers have been attempting to design a viable electric vehicle. It has long been known that oil is a finite resource and with the demands for oil largely driven by America's demands, as well as the ever-increasing demands of other industrialized nations, both automakers and governments have long been desiring of a pollution-free alternative that does not rely on oil and gasoline to run.

According to Anthony Ingram “the study found that over eight years with relatively low milage of 500 miles per year, a typical small combustion engine car would cost over $ 4,770 only in maintenance. That includes typical maintenance such as oil changes, brakes, tires, spark plugs and etc. On the other hand an equivalent electrical vehicles would only cost about $ 3,071” (1). This quote shows that the study conducted by Anthony Ingram in states that a gas power vehicle is more expensive to maintain because some parts in the engine need to be replaced because of the wear and tear that requires for the vehicle to be up to date. Moreover the electric enginepowere car will require less maintenance because it doesn't have mechanical parts that work together. For example the engine is more like a generator that produces electricity that changes the battery rather than producing combustion to move the vehicle. Eric Loveday states that “According to the institute for automotive that says that gas vehicles require more routine maintenance than electrical vehicles the 35 percent reducing the maintenance cost that was determined by evaluating eight years old compact vehicles. Now according to the institute for automotive the cost maintenance a modern day, Electrical vehicles require fewer liquids and moving parts, brake wear fewer liquids and moving parts, Also brakes wear are

Everyday people use cars to get from one place to another, whether that’s from their home to work or from work to the airport or even city thousands of miles away. Cars especially in the United States are hailed as efficient forms of transportation because of their ease of use and relative affordability. However, in recent years with the rise in crude oil prices and the demand for more efficient vehicles alternative fuel sources have gained more traction than in the past. However, the many caveats of complex technology and increased price are major drawbacks which must be considered when looking at electric cars. In the end electric cars are better for the environment due to increased performance and reduced overall CO2 emissions.
