Fossil fuels are a limited resource that will eventually run out. This is a fact, but the use of synthetic products made from organic materials such as corn and algae to replace fossil fuels has made great progress. The stimulus for alternative fuel research is the high price of fossil fuels and the need for cleaner alternatives. Basically, it now makes financial sense to develop alternatives. This is the same as the development of hybrid and all-electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles have the greatest impact on reducing the demand for fossil fuels and are more environmentally friendly.
It is to be understood that an electric vehicle is defined as a vehicle that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in some form of energy storage device, such as a battery. An electric vehicle having an electric motor and an internal combustion engine is a hybrid vehicle and is not classified as an electric vehicle.
The world's first real electric car was built in 1888 by the German manufacturer Flocken Elektrowagen. Electric cars were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Technological advances in internal combustion engines, coupled with mass production of internal combustion engine vehicles, have made them cheaper to consider the decline of electric vehicles. During the fuel crisis of the 1970s and 1980s, interest in electric vehicles recovered, but this situation was short-lived. Electric cars in the 1970s and 1980s were expensive, the batteries were huge and the charging was slow, and even if they were fully charged, they could travel a limited distance. Due to their opposition, these early electric vehicles never entered the stage of mass production. However, since 2008, with the advancement of battery technology and smaller, lighter, more efficient motors, the electric vehicle manufacturing industry has played a role. With the rise in crude oil prices and the publicly recognized need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sales of electric vehicles have increased over the past five years.
Compared with internal combustion engines, electric vehicles have the advantage of greatly reducing air pollution, because electric vehicles do not emit exhaust pollutants. The reduction in greenhouse gases reduces the rate of ozone depletion and slows global warming. Reducing the overall consumption of fossil fuels also reduces dependence on foreign oil, thereby reducing concerns about oil prices and supply disruptions.
Electric vehicles still face obstacles. The main obstacles are higher purchase costs, lack of charging infrastructure, and drivers and drivers. Worried that the battery is exhausted before reaching the destination. However, these shortcomings are quickly being resolved. Charging facilities are being installed in many service stations and many cities. More charging facilities will eliminate "range anxiety" and worry that the battery will run out before reaching its destination. All new technologies were cost when they were first introduced, but as demand increased, followed by production, and purchase prices fell. The gap between electric vehicles and fossil fuel-powered cars is shrinking.
The leader in electric vehicle sales in 2012 is Japan, which accounts for 28% of the global market. Secondly, the United States has a 26% market share, followed by China with 16%, France with 11% and Norway with 7%. The list of passenger cars and highway vehicles currently produced is:
- Mitsubishi I MiEV
- Chery QQ3 EV
- Chery JAC J3 EV
- Tazzari Zero
- Nissan leaf
- Nissan Smart
- Wheego Whip LiFe
- Mia Electric
- Volvo C30 electric car
- BYD e6
- BolloréBluecar
- Renault Kangoo ZE
- Renault Fluence ZE
- Renozoy
- Ford Focus Electric
- BMW Active E
- Tesla model S.
- Honda Fit EV
- RAV4 EV
- Mitsubishi Minicab MiEV
- Roewe E50
- Mahindra e2o
- Chevrolet Spark EV
- Fiat 500e
- Volkswagen e-Up!
- BMW i3
Impressively, but more electric vehicles are in the planning stage, and all car manufacturers are doing a lot of research and development on electric vehicles. As the production of electric vehicles increases, the price will be comparable to that of internal combustion engines and hybrid vehicles.
As more and more electric vehicles take to the streets, the demand for fossil fuels and alternative synthetic fuels will slow, thereby extending the life of oil reserves. This is important because although the vehicle burns a lot of oil, plastics, lubricants and other manufacturers have almost no substitute for petroleum. Without crude oil, the products that define our current lifestyle and living standards will change dramatically.
