The Use of Electricity and Magnetism in Our Future Transportation

Electric vehicles (EV) are one of the cleanest and most environmentally friendly cars available at this point in time. By definition, an electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in rechargeable or another energy storage device. The electric motors used in these cars gives off instant torque, creating strong and smooth acceleration. Some of the models of EVs have an electric motor for each wheel. Having these four motors not only allows for better propulsion, but also for the use of braking and changing the kinetic energy back into chemical energy in the batteries. The traction that the car gets is also increased with each wheel driving. In some of the EV models the electric motors can be mounted directly inside the mounting for the wheel, which enables a loss of all the moving parts between the motor and the wheel. When there is no axle, differential, or transmission, the EVs have less drivetrain

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.

As a car enthusiast myself, I love the internal combustion engine, but electric cars are absolutely the future. Electric cars provide the efficiency that we have lacked for decades. The environmental impact is extremely reduced and on average, the cost per mile is less. Going full electric is the next step after hybrids in vehicle efficiency. While we have preliminary examples such as Tesla, many other companies are beginning to produce flagship electric vehicles. Electric is also the future of performance vehicles. The instant torque that electric motors provide outclasses almost all combustion engines. BMW just announced their future plans to produce performance electric and I expect many other manufacturers to follow suit. As more and more cars are produced our charging technology and infrastructure will likely expand. This will make cross country trips in electric vehicles a lot more accessible. While many consumers are weary of the technology at this point, I predict that as the technology develops and more cars are put into production, consumers will open up to the idea and electric will become the new norm in car culture. Compared to combustion engines, electric is quiet, efficient, fast, and will likely become universal on the

One new technology that has affected people’s lives is the electric train .Electric trains have help us to get to our destination faster and more efficiently than any normal wasteful train.

Along with hover boards and flying cars, high-speed rail is one of the most iconic futuristic technologies discussed today. With great success, European and Asian countries such as Germany, France, Japan and China have been enjoying bullet trains for decades. Japan has been a leading innovator of high-speed trains, and has currently developed a train capable of 315 mph (Shadbolt). This MagLev is revolutionizing public transport and changing how the world view trains forever. The average European high-speed train can travel at speeds in excess of 220 mph (“The 10”). The United States is falling behind in this highly efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly high-speed train race. With the amount of traffic congestion between

Technology innovations had profound the effects on the way a single individual and commercial transportation. In our world today there are four standard modes of the way we are transported: Railways. Roads, water and air. Despite the technological advances that we made during the Industrial Revolution, the modes of transportation continue to miss our standards of getting to places in the fastest time possibly. Entrepreneur Elon Musk has a vision of future transportation by the “Hyperloop” an alternative for travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

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.

New modes for transportation have always allowed for the progress and prosperity of the American People. For a long time the world was limited to the speed of a horse. However, with the rise of the Industrial Revolution came the age of the train and railroad system. It allowed for information, travellers, and the common man to travel at speeds of up to 35 MPH. But no mode of transportation has had a more everlasting impact in American society, and the world, than the automobile.

In the early twentieth century, electric cars had been driven as renowned as gas-fuelled cars in North America until the popularity of electric cars did not last long due to the limited power and plodding speed.

Electric cars may phase out gasoline (Gasoline is also known as petrol) in the next couple of decade. Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions and are much cheaper to fill up than the more common gasoline vehicles. Switching to electric cars will have more benefits than drawbacks in comparison to other fuels such as petrol and diesel. In order to switch to electric cars America 's electric capacity will have to increase. In the next few years electric cars will also have new upgrades to increase practicality, range and longevity which may convince people to switch. The only major concerns in the market

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

Stationary on the sidewalk we listen to nothing but silence of cars driving past. Is this the future of New York or even North America for that matter? 100 years ago Thomas Edison founded the electric lighting industry (Behr 40). During this time the gas lighting and electric lighting industry were fighting to be the most successful. The electric lighting industry had won and beat the gas lighting industry. Looking at how electric cars have influenced people to stop driving gas powered cars. This point was being foreshadowed over 100 years ago.Are these electric car companies looking for the same type of consumer rate? Electric vehicles many years ago accelerated up to approximately 48 km/h (30 mph) in 8.9 seconds (Behr 41). Reaching a top speed of approximately 96 km/h (60mph). These swift cars could drive 2 passengers 120 kilometers (75 miles) before recharging. Although the more passengers in the car the more energy the car would need. That meaning that if there were 4 passengers it would only be able to travel for 80 kilometers (50 miles)(Behr 41). The value of these cars, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the higher capabilities of the electric cars will increase the consumption of electric cars on our roads. The more electric cars that go out on the road the more impact it will have on people 's’ lives becoming a happier, healthier, cheaper and less toxic type of environment all around the world.

The issue of electric car has been arising nowadays. But many of us never really find a true

Much advancement have been made in the world electric powered cars. People think that electric cars are a new thing but they were very popular in the 1900s until there was a sudden rise in petrol engines accompanied by batteries killed electric cars by 1920. However with the recent improvements in battery technology and power electronics electric cars have made a strong comeback, in addition to that their price, practicality, and the promise of the vehicle not polluting the environment in the ways that the gas powered cars do have made them very popular among today’s youth.

Electric cars are automobiles that are powered by electric motors, which utilise electrical energy stored in batteries (Lave et al., 1995). Electric cars were introduced in the 1880s and were first popular in the late 1800’s and early 1900s (Mitchell et al., 2010). Unlike traditional cars which rely on internal combustion engines and gasoline, electric cars use motors powered by electricity and this process gives them torque, allowing them to accelerate (Lave et al., 1995). Recent advances in battery and electrical manufacturing and concerns over increasing oil prices and greenhouse gas emissions have led to the development and growing popularity of electric cars (Sandalow, 2009; Sperling & Gordon, 2009). Some governments around the world are now offering their citizens incentives in order to encourage the purchase of electric cars instead of traditional automobiles (Shinnar, 2003). These incentives are typically found in form of tax credits and subsidies (Shinnar, 2003).
