The cost benefit analysis of Plug In hybrid electric vehicles includes a comparison between the lifetime of the vehicle and the ownership cost. Here the cost of ownership includes the cost of consumption of energy as well as the retail cost‚ but excludes the differences in cost of maintenance. A high cost of 5 USD per gallon of gasoline is assumed for the near term scenario. The cost of consumption of electricity is assumed to be 0.09 USD per Kilowatt-hour.[29] 7.

Electric Cars: Savior‚ Satan‚ or Step in the Right Direction Introduction: While it may seem that electric cars are a new fad of the twenty-first century‚ this is not the case. Electric cars have been around since roughly the 1890s‚ and in fact they were the dominant motorized vehicle in the market until about 1929 [1‚ p. 17]. This was due mostly to high gas prices during war and the fact that back then having a range of 18 miles was more than enough to meet the needs of most people. But then

INTRODUCTION Surface modification is a miraculous application of Electric Discharge Machining (EDM). It can modify the conductive material surface by both removing material from the surface and depositing material on the surface. It can remove or deposit material from the work surface through controlled electrical sparks by the process of melting and evaporation. The controlled sparks erode material from the work and tool surface within very short intervals of time. Study of surface morphology widens
