Electric vehicles are vehicles that use one or multiple electric motors for propulsion [1]. Electric vehicles have influenced the present in

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.

I’ll do it by first telling you general facts, secondly describing how do the electric cars look today, and finally I’ll share with you an exciting future of electric vehicles.

Less maintenance. Electric cars still require maintenance, although oil changes, exhaust system care and spark plug changes are a thing of the past. One thing that will not change is brake system care, although the regenerative braking system on EVs usually means your brake pads will typically last twice as long than with a conventional gas-powered model.

Electric cars are vehicles, which, instead of internal combustion engines, are driven by electric motors and controllers. They have proved to be a good substitute for conventional vehicles and are considered as a revolutionary innovation designed to protect the earth from the damaging effects of global warming, as they work on the electricity supplying the integrated rechargeable battery that can be easily recharged. Compared to traditional means of transport, electric vehicles seem to be more viable and environmentally friendly because they do not need oil or other fossil fuels as an energy source but the high cost of such a car and other important issues of exploitation discussed in this paper make their use very doubtful comparing to the usual cars.

Global warming is greatly debated in today's society. To solve the issue our government imposes laws that reduce the gases and other toxic substances. The government also pays people to buy electric cars that they think will help solve the problem. The electric car has not developed enough for the average consumer to be interested in buying them because they are still too expensive, there not practical and they produce just as much greenhouse gases has their petrol powered twins have.

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 -

Electrical vehicles 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 the past few years. Electric vehicle 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 it market competitiveness. However, as experts try to make its charging system more efficient and its ability to store charge more long lasting, the global need continue to rise. The research proposal, therefore, aim at addressing an issue like government involvement can enhance improved use of EV, development of better EV batteries, energy management system and fast charging can help enhance the use of Electrical Vehicles and how electric vehicle drive train and the battery can be redesigned to make it affordable.

Electric cars represent any vehicle that relies exclusively on electricity as its power source. There are variations on the theme, which include plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) and standard hybrid models, but those vehicles also have gasoline engines. Thus, they don’t come with the same electric car anxieties as pure EVs.

In the 1800s the development of the battery and the electric motor led to the first electric vehicles on the road. It is hard to pinpoint the invention of the electric car to just one inventor or country so several inventors have been given credit for the invention of the electric car. A Hungarian named Anyos Jedlik invented a small model car powered by an electric motor in 1828. And roughly between the years of 1832 and 1839, Robert Anderson of Scotland invented a crude electric carriage. Also in 1835 Professor Stratingh of Groningen, Holland built another small electric car with his assistant Christopher Becker. There was another inventor named Thomas

Technology has been advancing since the turn of the century at an unparalleled pace with the constant announcement of new gadgets and innovations. Of the thousands of new technological advancements made in the past decade, the introduction of the electric car has been the most widely discussed topic. Electric cars are one hundred percent emission free and can replace the fire spitting, bone chilling sounds of a thunderous gasoline engine with the eloquent silence of luxury and speed. However, as with all things technological, electric vehicles have their problems. Electric cars have several benefits and could possibly replace gas cars in the future, but they are not refined enough to take over the world today because of a few technicalities

The electric car finds its inception in the mid 1800’s, sparked by Gaston Planté’s invention of the lead-acid storage battery in 1851, the original version of what we use in cars today. This battery would lead the way for many variations of electric powered

While many automakers continue to manufacture different types of electric automobiles, the question that needs to be answered is whether the market will fully embrace the new energy automobiles. Market forecast for the electric vehicles is expected to be approximately 13 million by the year 2020(Lewis). However, other companies forecast give a figure less than five million. The forecast has not been consistent unlike the market forecast for gasoline driven vehicles, which have proofed o double year after year. Market certainty is what matters, as manufacturers would like to produce products that do not stagnate in their stores but rather sale faster so they can maximize profit (Goldberg).

 There is a serious problem facing the world right now.  It is air pollution.  The number one contributor to this epidemic is automobile emissions.  We have all heard of the issues that are involved with air pollution including the depletion of the o-zone layer, the green house effect, and acid rain.  The problem has been scoped from every imaginable angle, and now it is time to solve the problem.  I propose that each of the ‘Big Three’ (Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler) car manufacturers be required to have 10% of their product line as EV’s By the year 2010.  I propose this because it will be the start of cleaner air, EV advancement, and awareness of EV’s and how they work.

In SPORT mode, the thrust and brake regenerative energy are their peak and thus it is the ideal mode when charging the battery. In HYBRID mode, the battery is charged via by brake energy regenerative, thus not much energy is fed back to the battery in this state.
