Electric Vehicles For many years car companies have been developing fully electric vehicles to help reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses. There are many benefits and drawbacks to using electric vehicles. Also, Europe and China are offering incentives to car companies that are developing on electric vehicles and citizens who purchase an electric vehicle, but electric vehicles will also affect the automotive industry. When people hear the words “electric vehicles” they often focus on the drawbacks
lives. From steam-powered, diesel-powered and now, electric-powered vehicles. With today’s ever advancing technology, the type of technology used for vehicles are slowly evolving into something that adapts the change that is also happening in our word. This includes climate change, population increase and many more. Purpose The purpose of this report is to analyze, compare, and determine the capability of electric-powered vehicles as a replacement for the current diesel-powered vehicles. Scope This
models of cars with higher efficiency, which revolutionized the concept of transportation. The first ever car that was built was powered by steam. But with development in science and technology other efficient fuel sources were invented. The present day cars run on petrol (gasoline), diesel, and electricity and even sound. With the increased depletion of coal and coal-derived products, the continued use of automobiles is becoming uncertain. Energy
Today cars burn off gasoline (or diesel) that gives off harmful chemicals, but tomorrow vehicles may be running off of alternative resources. Scientist and engineers across the globe are furthering studies to make alternative fuels a thing of tomorrow. Some such alternative fuels include biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas. All of which have some promising pros. Not only are those chemicals emitted buy vehicles harmful to humans, but they are also hurting the environment

Matthew Nicol Keith Thomas Hoerner Communications Cluster 04 December 2011 What Drives You? Americans love cars. It is arguable that America’s love affair with the automobile is greater than any other nation’s in the world. Proof of this lies in the approximately 160,000 miles of road making up the National Highway System (National Highway System par.1). The labeling of a vacation as a road-trip has born many adventures for American youths. Road-trips are seen by many as a rite of passage that must
Electric Cars Vs Internal Combustion Engines In discussions of vehicles, one controversial issue has been that electric cars Vs gas powered cars. On the one hand, Ranjan, Kaushik argues the advantages of electric cars over internal combustion engines. Then On the other hand, LeVine, Steve opposes electric cars.People are learning that electric cars are a good alternative to internal combustion engines. It has taken many years of investigating to overcome deep-seated dependency on gas and diesel-powered
three main types of cars or other vehicles that you can find on the road driving around today. Those three types would be, gasoline powered, diesel powered or the electric/hybrid vehicle. Of those three which type of car is the cleanest? That is the question I aim to answer. There are three different questions I intend on answering to figure out which car is the cleanest. The first question will be, what type of car takes the least amount of energy to produce? Second, which car gives off the least
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
like to drive a car that gets mediocre gas mileage, a car that has lower torque, and a car that is all round mediocre? Now who would like to drive a car with improved gas mileage, superior torque, and a great, reliable engine? The obvious choice is the latter, a car with a diesel engine. Diesel and gasoline engines have been each other’s competition since the 1930’s when the first diesel run car was produced. There is one main mechanical difference between these two engines; a gasoline engine ignites
