can pull miles and miles of train cars. We have hybrid cars that average over 50 miles per gallon, and massive planes that can carry hundreds and hundreds of people around the globe in record timing. The question is how can we make these forms
The battery of an electric vehicle must be improved in a way that will also reduce costs. We might be able to build a better battery for the electric car to make it more efficient and more appealing to consumers, but what is the point in building better batteries if they still cost a fortune? In the article, “How Improved Batteries Will Make Electric Vehicles Competitive” by Kevin Bullis who is a senior editor for MIT Technology Review, claims that some researchers believe the high costs is what
Being a first time car owner is a exciting experience with so many options. Usually you would buy a used car as your first car. A new driver would wouldn’t want to invest in an expensive car until they have moe driving experience. Within the next ten years there will be more electric vehicle on the road and some will make their ranks into used car territory. Now not only could you save money but you could also save the environment with a used electric vehicle. In the year 2015, it was thought
It is pretty clear that cars that are made in modern times are particularly different then how cars were first made in the 1920’s. For instance in the 1920’s workers focused on more of the cars features then the safety aspects. Where as now engineers focus on safety of a vehicle rather than its features. There are also new inventions such as airbags and in-car sensors. Where as in the 1920’s version of the car all it consisted of was the steering wheel, seats, gear shifts and the gas tank. There
"Because we don 't think about future generations, they will never forget us” (Tikkanen, 2011). These are the types of thoughts that have led Americans and other nations to encourage their citizens to “Go Green” in an effort to aid the Earth in its recovery from modern human desecration. “Going Green” means to pursue knowledge and practices that can lead to more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible decisions and lifestyles, which can help protect the environment and sustain its
has been an increase of plug-in electric, hybrid type vehicles on the road. Many people would argue that hybrid vehicles are not a big thing and that they are insubordinate to the piston engine type vehicles. The matter of the fact is that electric vehicles are the way to go for many reasons from saving money to saving the environment and planet. So the question is, will electric cars take over the automotive industry? I personally believe that, yes electric cars will take over the automotive industry
Electric cars are becoming very popular in today’s world and are becoming more main stream. One reason for this is the need for automobiles that have a lower or a zero carbon footprint. For the majority of the history of the automobile, the propulsion system was a gas or a diesel engine that would run off of fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is very hazardous to our world and also creates much toxic pollution. However, electric cars run off of electricity, which is a very clean and pollution
transportation of cars and planes in order to satisfy the needs of humans in the future. Oil production is crucial for humans. Overall, 33 out of 48 countries have now hit a peak in oil production, resulting that oil is going to hit a decline in production. This peak is in countries such as Mexico and Russia, potentially signifying the end of the Industrial revolution. However, oil itself is not running out, just the rich, thick oils, that are high quality. In the near future, the only oil that

past couple of years. It is electric cars. Going a few years back to 2010 there were a few companies introducing their first models of electric cars, but almost no one was interested in buying them, and some people even hated the idea of driving one. Since then many aspects have changed and electromobility has become one of the most debated topics in car industry. So what are advantages and disadvantages and why are they so popular now? The number one reason why electric cars became popular is the ability
