Your grandchildren will likely find it incredible - or even sinful - that you burned up a gallon of gasoline to fetch a pack of cigarettes! Dr. Paul Mac Cready , Jr.
The future of transportation is here, and it’s knocking at your door! Our day-to-day means of transportation is changing and the more municipalities, business leaders, utilities and end-users know about Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs), the more prepared they will be to embrace the “vehicles of tomorrow” today. There are several advantages to the use of electricity as a transportation fuel – notably, high vehicle efficiency, lower operating costs, and zero tailpipe emissions. Because of the high efficiency of an electric motor, plug-in electric vehicles can be two-to-three times more efficient than a comparable gasoline vehicle, and electricity as a fuel is in most cases less expensive per mile than gasoline. The problem with gasoline engine is the car moves forward leaving behind the emissions. The high vehicle efficiency plus low “fuelling” cost of EV provides a lower cost of operation compared to a conventional gasoline vehicle.
Despite the advantages of reduced air pollutants, convenience, and virtually silent driving, electric vehicles fell from favor because of their slow acceleration, low speeds, and limited range between battery recharges. But the most important is it saves you a lot of money in the future.
Simplified, an electric car is powered by an electric motor in place of an engine. Its power supply is a battery pack under the floor or in the boot which can be recharged via a plug socket in place of a petrol cap. Electricity can be generated through solar powered house. It is just like doing more with less. There are no gears so it has a similar drive style to an automatic, and its speed is controlled by a controller unit attached to the acceleration pedal. New vehicles benefit from regenerative braking too which helps to increase the range of
