The Electric Car

The world produces around 85 million barrels of oil each day. About a quarter of that percentage goes to the United States of America, which is used up mostly by means of transportations. Most people get around from place to place using a car, a car that is powered by fuel. Everywhere one goes driving, they will eventually run into a gas station but not a charging station for electric cars. Regular cars, burn off fuel that produce emissions (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) that pollute and harm the environment. Although, there are some positives about switching there are also some problems that could appear but could be fixed. Electric cars have the potential to reduce the amount of pollution in the environment, boost the national economy and help

When looking into purchasing a new car, consumers often look for a choice that will save them money in the long run. Electric cars are an exceptional option for consumers for multiple reasons. Purchasing an electric car can help a

The movement to electric vehicles has been a slow process. It has always been dictated by consumer desires, price, and practicality. There are predictions that the electric car market will reach 7% of total car sales by 2020, and there are some who think the market will be much bigger by then. We’ll see!

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.

Furthermore the electric car is more efficient because it uses lithium-ion batteries which are charged with electricity. Lithium-ions for the car

1. No emissions. One of the big reasons EVs are so attractive to some is that they emit absolutely no emissions. If you are worried about your direct impact on the environment, an electric vehicle will allay those concerns.

Through my research question, I hope to learn whether electric vehicles make a big enough difference to help our environment. I also want to explore why we have not gone entirely electric and specific reasons as to why people are afraid of change. People find switching to an electric vehicle to be a huge lifestyle change.

In the article, “ Why the Gasoline Engine Isn’t Going Away Anytime Soon,” Joseph B. White writes about the reality of the old school, yet productive ways how the internal-combustion engine is going to stay in the competitive market. While at the same time he describes the change for the industry is coming just at a gradual slow pace. For years environmentalists and energy saving specialists could not accomplish what high oil prices did in just a couple years. Changing the game of auto makers focus to make improvements to their engines. The idea of changing from oil to electricity is possible but there is few chances of it succeeding until the future. The author states that cars powerful enough to serve more than one function are the basic need

On November 16th, 1901, an electric car called the “Torpedo Racer”, which wasn’t much more than a platform with bike wheels on it, set the land speed record for electric cars. This feat was achieved in Coney Island, New York by a man named Andrew Riker. he wasable to drive a mile in about 1 minute and 3 seconds. (That’s about 57 mph. in case you were wondering.) That was fast for the time, but the speed record for electric cars today is around 245 mph, so his record could probably be broken by a bike that has a few modifications added to it. However, he did hold on to this record for the next 10 years, and that alone says a lot about how slow everything was back then. I like cars, but i don’t know as much about them as others do.

The cost of preserving electric cars is lower than the cost of preserving cars fueled by conventional gasoline. The price of fuel varies a lot depending on the military and political situation in countries that provide oil. Even if we do not consider it, one month of driving a gasoline fueled car would cost you about $3,500. Given that you drive about 15,000 miles per year, and buy gasoline at $3.50 per gallon. Mean while, driving an electric car would cost you only $39 per month. Not even counting fuel costs, conventional vehicles call for transmission repairs, regular technical inspections, and so on (EVgo). There for people who want to save money on gas and maintenance electric cars is the way to go.

An electric car is a vehicle that runs either fully or partially on electricity. These vehicles require little to no gasoline to run and uses only one moving part to operate in comparison to gasoline vehicles that require hundreds of moving parts in order to run. Electric cars have become increasingly popular in the last few years, due to being seen globally as a solution for environmental pollution and rising gas prices. These two aspects have spiked sales for electric cars by an enormous margin. Even though, electric cars are seen as the environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline vehicles, these effects are only temporary and the inconvenience and effort required to maintain an electric vehicle is more troublesome and costly than owning a

generation engines still have not entirely taken over its position as of yet. “One hundred years

This particular project will observe how the carbon footprint of automobiles effect the global climate? Has the introduction of “eco-friendly” vehicles changed this footprint? Ultimately the end result will yield the environmental impact of “eco-friendly” vehicle production, and whether it can outweigh its carbon footprint. It is important to note that both the environmental effects and economic effects are crucial in the advancement of technologies used by the auto-manufacturers; in a sense both are dependent on the other.

 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.

Among the advantages we have are more efficient and generate fewer emissions from well to wheel, than any other current model car. When we refer to "the well to the wheel" we mean globally, considering the generation of electricity, and all the
