Future of Electric Vehicles – Technology, infrastructure developments and the future outlook
Interest in electric vehicles is on the rise. For a variety of reasons this interest is unlikely to dissipate in the foreseeable future. These reasons range from climate change and environmental pollution, to the gradual depletion of fossil fuels worldwide, and to the nationalistic desire to reduce dependence on imported oil.

In the US, it has been estimated by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that if 73% of the countrys cars and light vehicles turned electric, it could cut oil demand by an estimated 6.2 million barrels per day, approximately half of the countrys current imports.
