Executive Summary On Vehicle And Grid Technology

It has been estimated that there will be approximately 1200 million motor vehicles by the year 2020. That is almost twice the number of cars that are already traveling on our busy roads. Due to this ever increasing vehicle population, the demand for fuel will continue to increase as well. With the depleting supply of oil already an issue for the U.S. especially, there is a growing interest in alternative energy fuels that can be used to power motor vehicles.

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

Electrical vehicle technology has been present for a while and is a proven technology that need only reshaping to meet the global need. Though, in the past, the technology had failed to compete with the internal combustion engine due to initial cost, the technology has done well in recent years. Electric vehicle, EV, ability to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, like carbon and carbon dioxide, and the advantages it enjoys, such as low maintenance and running cost, can enhance its market competitiveness. However, as experts try to make its charging system more efficient and its ability to store a charge more long lasting, the global need continues to rise. This research proposal, therefore, aimed at addressing an issue like government involvement, can enhance improved use of EV, development of better EV batteries, energy management system and fast charging which can help enhance the use of Electrical Vehicles and how electric vehicle drive train and the battery can be redesigned to make it affordable.

In 2016, there were 17.55 million cars sold in the US and electric vehicles (EVs) made up less than 1%, accounting for 150,000 vehicles, – up from 17,500 sales in 2012. EV’s have been slow to capture market share, although their growth may allude to a tipping point in the near future.

The United States burns about a quarter of the world’s oil, half of which the gasoline powered automobile is responsible for (Lovins, 2004). For this reason, efficient, electrical forms of transportation are one of the key factors to limiting America’s oil dependence. Dating back to the late nineteenth century, the idea of the electric car is nothing new, however, in just recent years it has finally made significant progress. Innovations have enabled the electric vehicle to be portable and more attractive in recent years causing more people to make the switch from gas to electric. The transition from gasoline cars to electric vehicles projects significant breakthroughs for American energy including low dependence on oil and a cleaner future.

Electric cars have always been a thing of the future. The promise of a “green” mode of transportation is something that most people would love to have. Until recently, only a few manufacturers have even attempted the mass production of electric vehicles. The early attempts by General Motors (GM) in the 1990’s to mass produce electric cars mostly ended up in failure. Electric car customers were forced to deal with long re-charging times, a much lower range compared to gasoline powered cars, higher vehicle costs, and limited model styles to choose from. Though some were willing to make these sacrifices, the vast majority were not, which ultimately led to the end of electric vehicles 20 years ago.

Fully electric cars are the future of ground transportation. The use of electricity in cars will also have a massive impact on future transportation.

The subject of electric vehicles has been very popular of late. There have been many articles written, and research done, to scrutinize the on-going use of combustion vehicles while convincing the populous that electric vehicles are the wave of the future for transportation needs. Sales of electric vehicles have proven this true. Over the past five years, the number of electric vehicle sold has increased dramatically. According to the Electric Drive Transportation Association, in 2010 the number of Plug-In vehicles was only 345. The number of Plug-in vehicles -

The Majority of vehicles used to this day utilize gasoline for their primary source of fuel. Because of this, electric vehicles have faced a decline in the future of their industry due to natural physics that exists in the world. Although many of the electric vehicles offer benefits, petroleum vehicles naturally outperform the electric run vehicles. This is the result of the technology of electric vehicles due to its battery capabilities, performance, impact on the environment, and the financing of the 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.

Have you or anyone you know ever considered buying an electric car. Maybe perhaps you or someone you know has an electric car. It's not unknown that as time goes on there are more and more electric cars on the roads. After tesla had proven that there was a demand for electric cars at an affordable price. This has started an arms race between leading car manufacturers. The only question is who makes the best electric cars what makes them the best. According to (www.Wired.com) Chevy has built the first electric car that can “go 200 miles on a single charge” they also state that “the bolt does not just beat the 200-mile mark! It stomps the 210-mile range of tesla's model s60”.

Zoom! A bolt of red whisks across the street. Nobody had even heard the bolt zoom by. It stops at the stop light and the symbol said Tesla it was an electric car. It didn't even have smoke coming out of the small exhaust pipe. Electric cars are the way of the future because it doesn't hurt living creatures, the environment, and how to help with getting rid over the oil transportation machine.

In the market today, there are some factors that can pose a problem to all the market players’ including the Model S.  The idea of fully electric vehicles is still a new idea in the eyes of consumers.  The major concern for the market would be the location and proximity of charging stations for the vehicles.  Major cities are starting to increase the amounts that are located within them, but are still not as readily

Supposedly implicit in the term “leading edge technology” is the expansion of electric and hybrid vehicles in the GM line. Indeed, in order to meet its commitment to help achieve 500,000 electric or hybrid vehicles on the U.S. road by 2017 and to help reduce the average carbon emissions of U.S. cars by 15% by 2016, GM must continue to invest in green vehicles. However, multiple challenges currently stand in the way of GM’s previously defined goal to become an electric car provider. In fact, this paper suspects these challenges prompted GM to omit mention of electric cars in its 2014 strategic plan, and insofar as the failure to specifically mention electric cars signifies a wavering in the company’s commitment to green technology, GM has opened itself up to significant criticism in the formulation of its 2015 strategy.
