We are going to study two principal segments in the Spanish car industry that are related with the Tesla Model S and will help us to determine our objectives.
- Electric- power vehicles market - Luxury Sports car Market
Electric- power vehicles market
At present there are many signs that point to the need for a change in the technologies used for the transport and mobility of people all over the world. These signs are:
- the negative side effects of combustion vehicles , increasingly noticeable : pollution , greenhouse gases , etc...
-Strong growth of the global car fleets , especially thanks to the economic development of emerging countries.
- Scarcity of fossil fuels or , the near end of oil at affordable prices
As a result of these, the electric-powered vehicle stands today as the alternative for urban transportation for the future sustainability of the mobility standards of our society.
The advantages of electric vehicles are :
- Clean energy usage, which reduces very significantly, or completely, the emissions of gaseous polluting particles.
-Electric propulsion is more efficient than energy from fossil fuels. Goes from the storage to the wheel without losing as much energy as a fossil fuel does in all the process.
- Electric cars incorporate renewable energy in the full cycle of the transport.
- Electric cars have great potential for creating new technological applications, such as use as integrated energy storage on the power grid.
- Rechargeable batteries recycle well. Almost 100 percent of these batteries can be recycled, which keeps old batteries from becoming a disposal problem.
On the other hand, it should be valued very positively the important opportunities of research and industrial development that means for Spain the implementation of electric mobility (manufacturing, charging infrastructure , batteries) and the variety of business models that are emerging in relation to
