Who Killed the Electric Car? is presented as a whodone- it mystery. Staying true to this genre‚ the film opens with necessary background information‚ describes the crime committed‚ answering all of the what‚ where‚ and when questions‚ and then in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gathers the suspects for close scrutiny‚ coming to a conclusion on the guilt or innocence of each. Opening with a bit of automotive history that establishes the electric car as a competitive alternative to the

introduced the EV-1 electric car in California and Arizona. Hundreds of the electric cars were soon on the road. Then they all disappeared. The mystery behind their disappearance is the subject of the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" Electric vehicles had many advantages over their competitors in the early 1900s.

Everything has a trade-off and opportunity cost. Electric cars are no exception. The first thing that caught my attention was the mileage. In the article and video‚ Rick Peters’ electric car only goes 25 miles per hour. You cannot get very far with that‚ especially since the farthest you can go in it is 30 miles per charge. I drive a Toyota Camry‚ and I drive 9.2 miles every day to school. It takes me 12-15 minutes to drive to school. If you ignore the speed limit on the roads (it is 55 mph)‚ it

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AND ITS DISTANCE FROM THE CHARGED OPOINT PHYS-232 JIANSONG HE GROUP: Abstract This experiment was performed to find the electric field strength from different distance to the charged point. The field strength was determined statically‚ by measuring its electrical potential when subjected to loading‚ and dynamically‚ by measuring the electrical potential at different location on the conductive paper. The electrical potential was measured from three

production side emissions of electric cars with this graph. Here we see the higher amount of emissions per electric car‚ although this can naturally be compensated during the lower emissions during the life-cycle of this car. To note that in case the battery has to be replaced during the life-time of the vehicle‚ the amount will increase to 12‚5t of CO2 per car‚ so more than the double of a gasoline car. 2.2 Source of energy. Here we get to one of the biggest problems of electrics cars: the way we charge
