Just about everyone wants a car but no one Wants to pay for gas well now thanks to technology we don’t have to yes thanks to the discovery of the electronic car people can travel solely on the power of electricity but most people say that Unless some new type of battery is invented these electronic Car are nothing more than a dream but these are far more than a dream and very much so a part of reality But what does the future hold for these cars
Well electricity is already a large part of our lives so to start using electricity powered cars would not be so much of a change from our normal routine as people may seem to think And they’re already many people using these electrical cars one man mentioned That he uses The Corbin Sparrow (a

Last week the company showed the ESX3 to the press in Washington, D.C., an event which marks the achievement of the first official milestone of the 10 year-long USPartnership for a New Generation Vehicle program in which all three US car makers have now developed fuel-efficient, high mileage vehicles.
From the outset of the ESX program, DaimlerChrysler engineers have sought ways to not only achieve the performance goals of PNGV but have striven to reduce the cost premium associated with hybrid electric technology. In the ESX3 they have cut the cost in half from the $15,000 of the ESX2 to just $7,500 in two years time.
The five passenger ESX3 achieves 72 mpg, up two miles from the more aerodynamic ESX2. It's "mild-hybrid" or mybrid drive train takes a similar approach to that of both Ford and GM PNGV cars, mating a 1.5 liter, all aluminum direct-injection diesel engine to a 15 kilowatt electric motor. Like the Toyota Prius, the 106 pound lithium ion battery pack is wedged between the rear passenger seat and trunk which provides 16 cubic fee (450 liters) of cargo space.
An important component in of the ESX Mybrid system is its EMAT transmission system which utilizes two computer-controlled clutches. The EMAT system combines the smoothness of an automatic transmission with the added fuel efficiency of a manual. The driver sees the normal selection of park, drive,
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
All self driving cars are electric and will save tons of money on gas and with so many charging stations around the world already with free charging, it is just a
Currently, the market for electric vehicles are in its early stages. However, with the growing environmental awareness more people are becoming more accepting and fond of the idea of electric cars. Presently, less than 2% of households have an electric powered vehicle but it is projected that by the year 2045, electric vehicles will account for 35% of the automotive market share.
Electric cars impose a serious risk on the oil and gas industry. The extent by which this market succeeds reciprocally defines the extent by which the oil and gas industry deteriorates. As with all forms of technology, there comes a point in time where one form of technology no longer appears to be useful in comparison with an applicable alternative. The current inhibitors of electric car adoption are the price of batteries and vehicle performance. With that being said, battery prices dropped over 30% just last year and are expected to continue dropping. Projections estimate that 35% of cars will have a plug by 20401. However, even in the next few years, companies such as Tesla, Chevrolet, and Nissan plan to offer electric cars on the market at an affordable price. The question then becomes: when the oil and gas market will be displaced by the electric market? If both markets produce a vehicle of similar price and quality, then it is reasonable to assume that a customer will choose the option that is more eco-friendly. The moral issue still remains: should the vehicles of tomorrow be fueled by gasoline or are viable options readily available and acceptable?
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.
Expanding the Nighthawk Motors product line to include a plug-in hybrid vehicle is an exciting and innovation move for the company. As an organization, we will be aiming to provide our customers with a vehicle that is fuel efficient, reliable, cost affordable, and fun to drive. The new product line, the Ecostar, presents a unique and exhilarating vehicle to our customers. The new plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) offers a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine with a 500-mile range on a tank of gas with an 80mile range on batteries alone. The EPA rating for the Ecostar has been verified at 60 miles per gallon for city and 55 miles per gallon for highway driving. The Ecostar is not alone in the market, it will have direct competition from the Toyota Prius; however,
Fully electric cars are the future of ground transportation. The use of electricity in cars will also have a massive impact on future transportation.
There are new technologies in automotives out there now. For example, there is the electric car. The only problem with this is that the car needs to be plugged in and can only run for four to six hours at a time, making it hard for long distance travel. Another example is a vehicle that uses a combination of a gasoline and electric engines. They call it a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). This particular vehicle used no gas while idling and the gasoline engine turns off while the vehicle is stopped. As a result, this vehicle uses less gasoline and the tank lasts longer. The electric motor boosts acceleration so not as much gasoline is used. The HEV has a regenerative braking system that recharges the battery. This vehicle emits half of what an ultra low emission vehicle does, so is much better for the environment. It is already possible that by the year 2003 this type of vehicle will cost less because of various state and national tax incentive plans to lower the cost significantly. This has already been accepted in Maryland
70% of all oil consumed in the U.S. is used for transportation, a majority being everyday cars. An average American will spend over $1,400 per year just to fill up their gas tank. This, however, does not have to be the case any longer. Electric cars are becoming mainstream because they are better for the environment, cost efficient, and a quick quiet home recharging vehicle.
Model X is a luxury car as well as might be the greenest, fastest, safest and most capable sport utility vehicle in history. With all-wheel drive and a 100 kWh battery providing 475 kilometers of range, Model X has ample seating for seven adults and all of their gear. And it’s ludicrously fast, accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in as quick as 3.1 seconds. Model X is the SUV uncompromising as it provides a autopilot all-wheel drive, a high-tech cabin, and the Falcon Wing
DaimlerChrysler says that the ESX3 meets all the emissions targets originally set in 1993. However, it acknowledges that there is still much to be done to meet future emissions standards including further work on low sulfur and synthetic fuels, new exhaust aftertreatment technologies and cleaner combustion processes.
The first weakness that can be seen of the Nighthawk Motors’ Ecostar is that since the company has not built, marketed, and sold a plug-in hybrid vehicle before, it will be a new venture that will have considerable startup expenses to ensure success. Additionally, as Nighthawk Motors are new the HPEV market, it will experience considerable competition from a market that already has several other HPEV options. Moreover, in addition to constructing a new vehicle, Nighthawk Motors will have to also construct or add on to its current facility to be able to manufacture the added vehicle line.
For the past 200 years, the electric car has steadily gained popularity as an alternative to gas-powered cars. Electric cars are vehicles that use electricity to be powered and create zero tailpipe emissions. Electric cars have recently become a controversial topic ever since the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 was enacted.
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.

Thankfully electric cars have have begun to make up a significant portion of new car sales, which is good since they are superior in every aspect They are projected to keep increasing there portion of the market more and more every year. First off they don't emit any toxic emissions or smoke and are a hundred percent eco friendly. They don’t cause any air pollution but there also silent compared to combustion engines so they have greatly reduced noise pollution number the sound comes from the tires.Electric cars are also significantly cheaper to run. They don't require any gas even though electricity costs money its minuscule when compared the costs of gas vehicles. Being power by a battery electric cars also don't use any lubricants which need to be
