Tideland Executive Summary

Did you know the first electric automobiles were developed and produced in the 1800s with 30,000 registered in 1909 in U.S.A alone? According to Hoyer 2007, the companies faced challenges

The U.S. electric passenger car industry in 2011 was described as being in its infancy, because it is still a new concept to buyers. However there are signs of growth from 2011-2015. Buyers do not consider the car because of price, travel range and vehicle size, along with other secondary concerns.

In light of the constant rises in petroleum prices, climate changes and an economy recovering from the effects of the recent economic downturn, consumers have started to reconsider the usage of electric cars (Global EV Outlook, 2013). Electric Vehicles [EV] have been around since the 1830s, yet it is only recently that countries have experienced an increase in their production thus redefining tomorrow’s automobile and transportation industry. This year, the global production of EV is predicted to rise by 67% (IHS, 2014).

Electric cars over the last several years have been a controversial topic. Companies have ran into issues regarding the batteries, pricing, and clearly competition with gas fueled vehicles. I noticed Tesla Motors a few years ago and instantly fell in love with their electric vehicles. Tesla managed to keep a very clean look with a sports car feel to their vehicles, and they are currently working on their new battery which is expected to last much longer. The price of their vehicles at the moment are priced higher than most average families can afford, but Tesla announced they are releasing a more affordable vehicle in 2017. Throughout the existence of Tesla they have made it clear they will not settle with just making vehicles that are in compliance with the laws set in place, their company will strive to make the best vehicles they can.

In 2005, Chris Gronet formed a company named Gronet Technologies and within eight months changed that name to Solyndra. Gronet had a revolutionary idea about solar panels; make them tubular. "Look at the picture long enough, and you're going to realize there's a lot of wasted space, and a cylinder might work better," Gronet, said in a 2008 interview with The Chronicle. (Said, 2011). In December of 2006 the company applied for a government-guaranteed loan. (The Washington Post, 2011). Coupled with that government loan application, the corporation was able to raise another $600 million from private investors and opened their first factory in 2008, lining up $1.2 billion in orders. (Said, 2011). During the Obama,

Electric vehicles began taking the market by storm when Nissan introduced its mass-production Leaf model in 2011. Since then, nearly every manufacturer has brought its own EV to the market. The future appears bright for EVs, especially as engineering improvements make them more efficient and cost-effective. That said, we will examine the good, the bad and the ugly of electric vehicles to help you make an informed decision about this emerging technology.

After the success of electric cars in the West, manufacturers from around the globe are entering into this business. With more players in the market, the competition is expected to be intense.

Sun solars is an inventive new non profit organization based in Moorolbark, VIC established in the year 2010. Sun solars primarily deals with production of solar powered equipments designed serve the Indigenous communities throughout Australia and hopefully on a global scale. The company started as collaboration with the Energy sources INC. which was a semi private company that operated under the federal Government back during the 90s. During those times there weren’t enough interventions as to where the company would go and so the operations were halted for nearly a decade and again resumed under what today is known as Sun solars. The company is a small scale organization with a tight-knit group of people working together to bring out the differences within the

Their design team has the experience necessary to design and manufacture solar power systems, including military power systems and equipment that can stand up to even the most harsh environment. Additionally, their installations can sustain golf ball sized hail, 125 mph winds and almost any other force of nature that comes its way. They are also a C-10 State registered electrical contractor, as well as a registered General B contractor. And all of their solar systems are built to exceed the requirements of the 2014 National Electrical

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 Ford Focus was one of its greatest products and has earned many awards. Currently, Ford is coming up with a new updated version of the Ford Focus that will have greater fuel efficiency. Along with the more fuel efficient Ford Focus comes a hybrid model, which has an electric motor and is environmental friendly. Ford understands that a vehicle is more than its engine and is productively working to introduce more products that gives every customer a wonderful experience to gain loyalty.

After struggling as a manufacturer of solar energy products, the company moved to making printed circuit boards (PCBs) for

If we could look at Tesla’s vehicle models and other electric vehicle models stripped down, with everything removed but the frame, wheels, and electrical propulsion system, we would see just how far Tesla has come in their design of the electric vehicle and how they have surpassed other car companies with their innovation. According

Our competitive advantage is that high quality of product, lower cost of solar panel, installation and maintenance, unique financial payment option and total coverage on-stop service, making it more reliable and convenient for customers than any other solar panel companies.

The SunPower Company is an up and coming manufacturer and seller of photovoltaic (PV) panels. As a young company with a strong desire for innovation they operate in an atmosphere where competition is very high and SunPower and the competition continue to fight for market shares. For SunPower management team to promote its growth will need to make sound decisions to ensure it stays competitive with the market. As seen in 2008, with other solar companies already dominating the market, increasing sales was an imperative goal to achieve its main objective to maximize profit.
