Future of Electric Vehicles – Technology, infrastructure developments and the future outlook

Filed under Automotive

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.

Each country faces its own unique set of challenges but environmental pressures and the looming background threat of global warming are common to all. 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.

Electric Vehicle EV Infrastructure Manufacturing

Filed under Automotive

Electric Vehicle EV Infrastructure Manufacturing report ( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=129755&rt=Electric-Vehicle-EV-Infrastructure-Manufacturing.html ) assesses that Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), including cars, buses, and trains, are being developed around the world, with much work aiming to optimize engine and battery for efficient operation, both during discharge and when grid electricity is available for recharging. The general expectation has been that an established electric infrastructure will not be greatly affected by the increased use of EVs because the recharging will occur during off-peak hours, or the number of vehicles will grow slowly enough so that capacity planning will respond adequately.

Everyone knows the current state of the economy; it appears in news reels every day. However, it is very common that bad news distracts the public from the good. The motor sector was hit hard in the past few years, but there is plenty of automotive industry news to be very excited about.

Public awareness has been consistently growing about issues such as global warming and man-made greenhouse gases. With this constant global environmental education comes a common urge to help the situation. Choices are being made with the earth's wellbeing in mind and as such much stock is being put on improved efficiency and reduced emissions when people buy cars.
