acceptance, government support, investments by OEMs (original equipment manufacturer), and financial viability are together paving the road for electric vehicles. While EVs have a promising future, it’s going to be a long journey to get close to gasoline-run machines, which have existed for more than a century now.” –Prableen Bajpai: Journalist at Nasdaq. Electric cars have pros and cons; some may argue that the pros outweigh the cons, and vice versa. While there may seem to be multiple benefits
Biophysical Context (IAD) a) Natural Infrastructure There is specifically no natural element involved in an EV industry. Except for the fact that we are trying to conserve natural fossil fuels and reduce the problems of exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines by encouraging EVs as mode of transportation. EVs are man made solution to the depletion of natural resources and climate change. b) Human-made infrastructure To power an electric vehicle, consumers must have the ability to connect
Alternative Fuel Vehicles Feasibility Study As a leader in the rental vehicle industry for the past 30 years, ABC Rental Cars has continually remained a step ahead of its competition. To continue to set the pace for other rental agencies to follow, and to ensure ABC Rental Cars ' dominant position in the marketplace, alternative fuel vehicles (AFV), or more specifically, hybrid vehicles, should be evaluated as to the feasibility and consumer interest of introducing these types of vehicles into
providing this service to the consumer. Feasibility of an alternative fuel vehicle fleet. Today’s environmentally concerned consumers are looking for ways to not only save the environment, but also save money. Oil prices are constantly on the

Clean Air Act Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq. -- Enforced by US EPA -- By the end of this lecture you should be able to describe: * The race to laxity * What NAAQS means. * The federal government’s role in cooperative federalism * 7 criteria pollutants * A hazardous pollutant under the CAA * Non-attainment area * Emissions trading programs * Noise pollution under the CAA * The four Class I areas designated by the State of Florida
increase in pollution levels all over the world, governments and communities are awakening to the several benefits of electric vehicle technology: they are non-polluting and quiet, they can be charged easily saving owners the need to queue at gasoline stations, Electric vehicles are mostly charged at night, when power consumption is low, therefore making more efficient use of power plants, they are easy to service and maintain and most EVs have a very low operating and maintenance cost. SMART should
the fact that hydrogen has a high energy density by weight, but has a low energy density by volume when not highly compressed or liquefied. A lot has been written about hydrogen and human being’s emergence into a “hydrogen economy”. There are many studies published and numerous advances in the related technologies. As a matter of fact the November 13th edition of the journal, Science,
