Electric Cars At The United States

We have the desire to create a new form of technology and get away from gasoline cars. Electric cars are the future in transportation and will pave the way for the auto industry in years to come. Even though we have not seen the results we need in production, costs, and technology, people are positive they will soon catch on. In this paper I will discuss the cultural considerations of the electric car. I will compare the United States use of technology with other nations around the world such as China. When comparing them, I will cover the main sources of the technology for present electric cars and also the production. I will review America’s innovation and motivation in pursuing the electric car. Based on that I will name some leading car brands

The U.S. electric passenger car industry in 2011 was described as being in its infancy, because it is still a new concept to buyers. However there are signs of growth from 2011-2015. Buyers do not consider the car because of price, travel range and vehicle size, along with other secondary concerns.

Electric cars are becoming more and more a part of the world we are in today. They can see them everywhere now a day from the streets to their TV. Car companies like Nissan and Chevy have their own line up of electric cars that perform well. Then there is the popular car company Tesla and they make the Lamborghini of electric cars. To help lower emissions levels and jumpstart the industry, the federal government continues to offer a $7,500 tax credit for buyers of pure electric vehicles.(Schaal, 2015) So with all these changes going on in the car industries is it a good change from the traditional gas engine? Are Electric cars truly better than Gas powered vehicles, are gas powered vehicles becoming obsolete. Electric cars barely have any maintenance needed for them compared to gas powered vehicles. Emissions from electric cars are zero to none and gas powered vehicles are getting better but they are not getting better fast enough. Also range from an electric cars are manageable because they have free charging stations all throughout the U.S. they getting to know all this information can hopefully educate they when maybe they are going to buy their next car and if they have one already given them some info they did not know already.

Fuel shortages during World War II increased interest again in electric cars, but those efforts were short-lived. It wasn’t until the 1970s that another shortage fueled interest in electric cars. Finally, in the 1990s major auto manufacturers began to offer mainstream electric and hybrid options.

In 1830 the first electric car was made. It impacted how cars could be made. First generation electric cars paved the way for modern EVs because they can be more efficient, are getting increasingly popular , and more safe. Electric cars are influencing our technology and our economy. Electric’s are helping the world and “Ultimately, all-electric cars will reduce America’s dependence on petroleum” (Bell,11). because our existing oil is running low. Also electric cars are getting noticed now. Unlike in the late 1900s where they are being produced but were too expensive to buy and weren't practical.

Electric cars are becoming popular recently, but did you know that they were around since 1800’s ? (Timeline: History of the Electric Car)

Electric vehicles began taking the market by storm when Nissan introduced its mass-production Leaf model in 2011. Since then, nearly every manufacturer has brought its own EV to the market. The future appears bright for EVs, especially as engineering improvements make them more efficient and cost-effective. That said, we will examine the good, the bad and the ugly of electric vehicles to help you make an informed decision about this emerging technology.

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 have been many new modifications from back then to now. Now let’s go into the present day with electric cars, electric cars are automobiles that are propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or a different energy

William Morrison in Des Moines Lowa successfully created the electric cars in the year 1890. The electric car became very popular in America during the late 1890’s and early 1900’s. People loved the electric car more than the steam car because it is more quiet and didn’t excrete putrid fumes and especially easy to control. But sadly the engines could not go over 20 miles per hour and of course the battery had to be charged frequently, which is difficult to the owner because not all the places have power socket for charging the car. And eventually the gasoline engine replaced the electric car.

The first electric car was developed in the early 1800s. In 1900 electric cars were in their prime with one-third of all cars being electric. The gasoline engine in the late 1800s had many drawbacks like noisy and difficult to operate. Electric cars didn’t have problem like this that is why they were just as popular as cars with a gasoline engine. While the gasoline engine had problem the release of the Ford Model T adversely affected the electric car.

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 free resource, depending on how the electricity was produced of course. In this paper we are going to examine the history of electric cars, look into modern electric car technology, and peer into the future of electric car technology to see if EVs might be the answer to dramatically reducing our global pollution.

I strongly agree with the idea that electric car should cost less than gasoline cars to persuade buyer to try a new product. According to one of the study, out of more than one billion registered vehicles on the road today, only two million are using electric (with one million of those in China) (Leahy, 2017). The purpose of the electric cars is to provide a more environmental-friendly method of transportation, so for this to happen electric cars needs to be sold cheaper a bit.

Electric cars was invented in the mid19th century. It was an electric vehicle that held the fastest land speed record until around 1900. The high and short range of battery electric vehicles, compared to later internal combustion engine vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use although electric vehicles have continued to be used in the form of electric trains and other types of

Initial hydrogen, fuel cell and pure electric vehicles were not much successful as they were all very expensive and not very efficient. The true electric vehicles did not have the required standards of an American car buyer because they cost a lot, around US$

Many other people continued the development and improvement of electric automobiles and for a time electric automobiles were the preferred type of Automobile because of their quiet ride, quick start-up, and lack of pollution. In fact electric automobiles held the land speed record well into the early 1900’s. However, they began to decline in the early 1900’s because of the increased prevalence and efficiency of the internal combustion engine.
