5561 - A World with Only Electric Vehicles Today our lives are thought to be in danger due to global warming. Global warming is defined as a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons‚ and other pollutants. Thought to be a big contribution to global warming are the emissions that come from the exhaust of our cars. Electric vehicles do not have tailpipes that exhaust fumes to pollute so they are the logically

Categorization of Hybrid and Electric cars: Hybrid and electric vehicle system components may include a battery for energy storage‚ an electric motor for propulsion‚ a generator‚ a mechanical transmission and a power control system. These components are brought together in different ways by different systems. Depending on these factors we can classify the electric car segment into 4 major parts: Hybrid Electric Vehicle Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Extended-Range Electric Vehicle Battery Electric Vehicle

From the book "Electric and Hybrid Cars A History" written by Curtis D. Anderson and July Anderson in 2010 we can assess that: "The history of electric vehicles can be generally divided into three parts: the early years (1890–1929)‚ including their golden age of dominance in the market from about 1895 to1905; the middle years (1930–1989); and the current years (1990–present)." An historical analysis through past decades is needed to answers question as "where
