Advantages And Disadvantages Of Electric Cars
Abstract

I would like to convey that with the help of this project I got the opportunity to understand a subject I was interested in. I came to know about how the electric cars are marketed in different parts of the world according to their needs. I also came across a point where I understood the advantages and disadvantages of electric cars over our regular petrol or diesel injected cars. I came to know about its relation with nature by saving the environment compared to our usual cars and also learned how so many people get attracted to them. I learned many new things that will be further explained in the project. Other than the main objectives I have also included a few electric cars and described them to get a clearer picture.

    This article focuses on how the gasoline engine is unlikely to be replaced by ethanol, hydrogen or electric powered engines anytime soon, contrary to what the media has everyone believing (333). For example, car companies are redesigning the electric car model to be more aerodynamic so the cars can fit smaller batteries in them but are still able to last a whole day’s driving. Refueling electric cars would simply involve plugging it into any electric outlet (334). White indicates pros and cons of alternative powered vehicles to inform the reader that the cons outweigh the pros even though they are possible ideas.…

    The biggest difference between gasoline and electric vehicles is the engine. Instead of an internal combustion engine the electric vehicle has an electric motor. Also instead of gasoline as fuel an electric vehicle uses batteries for energy. Finally, instead of injecting fuel into the motor the electric car has a motor controller that takes power from the batteries and delivers it to the motor. With different components the vehicles function differently. The accelerator pedal in an electric vehicle is connected to a pair of potentiometers which provide the signal that tells the controller how much power it is supposed to deliver. The power delivered translates to the speed of the…

    (TS)Pollution, global warming, and the price of fuel pose real problems for an auto industry churning out gas vehicles, however, electric vehicles offer hope for the future. (PS)Most electric vehicles look and perform just like a gas vehicle.(SS) For example, the electric-powered Dodge Circuit EV resembles the gas-powered Dodge Challenger.(SS) Both sport the bold look of a muscle car, And both have all the standard features such as power windows and doors, gps, air conditioning, and heating.(SS)They even perform similarly; both go from 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds and perform the ¼ mile in 15.5 seconds.(PS)Electric and gas vehicles tie comes to an end coast and convenience are much better on the electric side then the opposing gas guzzling side. (SS)For example, the lithium-ion battery of the Circuit EV uses far less energy than the gas guzzling V8 engine used by the Challenger. (SS)The Circuit EV can go 150 to 200 miles between charges and costs about $6 to $12 a week in electricity; in contrast, the Challenger averages 14 miles per gallon in the city and 22 on the highway Plus, based on the price of oil, gasoline can cost as much as $5 a gallon, and those dollars add up with the miles. (PS)The final difference is convenience. (SS) Many people and much energy must be used to refuel a gas vehicle Oil has to be refined into gasoline, stored, transported, and pumped. (SS) However, to recharge an electric vehicle, all one has to do is plug it into a standard household outlet or a socket on a charging station.(CS)Gas and electric automobiles perform similar ,however, electric is cheaper and more reliable making it the car of the future.…

    Prior to this course I was unaware of just how much fossil fuel the world uses and how if we don’t improve on our consumption we will run out in the not so distant future. As fossil fuel diminishes one step that many of us might consider is reducing the amount of fossil fuels we use in our transportation needs. In this class I researched and compared and contrasted all the major electric, hybrid and standard vehicles in an effort to show readers what type of vehicle may meet there wants and or needs. Through my research I discovered the importance of car companies to continue to make advances on these electric automobiles. While writing this paper I was able to provide justification and a strong rationale in the selection of a vehicle. Lastly, there are many other solutions for example as developing different and cleaner fuels or increasing public transportation. This course has opened my eyes to many energy solutions for the future of our…

    General Motors has been at the center of one of the nation’s largest controversies over clean emissions-cars. In 1996 the company 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. They did not have the vibration, smell, and noise associated with gasoline cars. Changing gears on gasoline cars was the most difficult part of driving, while electric vehicles did not require gear changes. Even though the cars seemed to be the next big thing, they ended up being not so successful.…

    Depending on the battery size, electric cars generally have a limited range before their batteries need to be recharged. Some electric cars can travel no more than 40 miles (64 kilometers) on a single charge.” Although the battery problem in these cars can be a problem, these flaws are very similar to gas if you do not put enough in. When electric cars first appeared in the late 1800’s they were more popular than any other type of vehicle. Davis claims “The first electric cars appeared in Europe during the 1880's.…
