The Electric Car : The Origin Of The Electric Cars?

The world produces around 85 million barrels of oil each day. About a quarter of that percentage goes to the United States of America, which is used up mostly by means of transportations. Most people get around from place to place using a car, a car that is powered by fuel. Everywhere one goes driving, they will eventually run into a gas station but not a charging station for electric cars. Regular cars, burn off fuel that produce emissions (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) that pollute and harm the environment. Although, there are some positives about switching there are also some problems that could appear but could be fixed. Electric cars have the potential to reduce the amount of pollution in the environment, boost the national economy and help

Looking around, you may notice the sudden surge of sustainable engineering all around you. From new LED light bulbs, to many different kinds of robots this epidemic is sweeping the world more and more. While we are slowly shifting towards new technologies, there is one that has gained extreme popularity over the past couple of years. It is electric cars. Going a few years back to 2010 there were a few companies introducing their first models of electric cars, but almost no one was interested in buying them, and some people even hated the idea of driving one. Since then many aspects have changed and electromobility has become one of the most debated topics in car industry. So what are advantages and disadvantages and why are they so popular now?

The movement to electric vehicles has been a slow process. It has always been dictated by consumer desires, price, and practicality. There are predictions that the electric car market will reach 7% of total car sales by 2020, and there are some who think the market will be much bigger by then. We’ll see!

Fuel shortages during World War II increased interest again in electric cars, but those efforts were short-lived. It wasn’t until the 1970s that another shortage fueled interest in electric cars. Finally, in the 1990s major auto manufacturers began to offer mainstream electric and hybrid options.

In 1830 the first electric car was made. It impacted how cars could be made. First generation electric cars paved the way for modern EVs because they can be more efficient, are getting increasingly popular , and more safe. Electric cars are influencing our technology and our economy. Electric’s are helping the world and “Ultimately, all-electric cars will reduce America’s dependence on petroleum” (Bell,11). because our existing oil is running low. Also electric cars are getting noticed now. Unlike in the late 1900s where they are being produced but were too expensive to buy and weren't practical.

Electric vehicles began taking the market by storm when Nissan introduced its mass-production Leaf model in 2011. Since then, nearly every manufacturer has brought its own EV to the market. The future appears bright for EVs, especially as engineering improvements make them more efficient and cost-effective. That said, we will examine the good, the bad and the ugly of electric vehicles to help you make an informed decision about this emerging technology.

It is pretty clear that cars that are made in modern times are particularly different then how cars were first made in the 1920’s. For instance in the 1920’s workers focused on more of the cars features then the safety aspects. Where as now engineers focus on safety of a vehicle rather than its features. There are also new inventions such as airbags and in-car sensors. Where as in the 1920’s version of the car all it consisted of was the steering wheel, seats, gear shifts and the gas tank. There have been many new modifications from back then to now. Now let’s go into the present day with electric cars, electric cars are automobiles that are propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or a different energy

Production of full size electric cars started in the 1890s when William Morrison built a six-passenger wagon, which is considered the first true, practical, electric car. In 1897, New York City Taxi Service prompted a mass transit system by investing in a fleet of

General motors is a relevant social group because they are the ones who manufactured and sold the EV1. They originally decided to abide by the

William Morrison in Des Moines Lowa successfully created the electric cars in the year 1890. The electric car became very popular in America during the late 1890’s and early 1900’s. People loved the electric car more than the steam car because it is more quiet and didn’t excrete putrid fumes and especially easy to control. But sadly the engines could not go over 20 miles per hour and of course the battery had to be charged frequently, which is difficult to the owner because not all the places have power socket for charging the car. And eventually the gasoline engine replaced the electric car.

"In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California. They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline. Ten years later, these futuristic cars were almost completely gone." The first electric cars were created in in the twentieth century. The electric cars were killed off around 100 years ago because gas and petroleum powered cars with an internal combustion engine were cheaper. Problems from gas and petroleum started to arise and caused smog, Co2 emissions, high child asthma rates, and global warming. In 1987 General Motors built the EV Sunraycer which won the World Solar Challenge, a solar electric car race in Australia. General Motor's CEO, Roger Smith challenged the same design team in 1990 to build

Electric cars are becoming very popular in today’s world and are becoming more main stream. One reason for this is the need for automobiles that have a lower or a zero carbon footprint. For the majority of the history of the automobile, the propulsion system was a gas or a diesel engine that would run off of fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is very hazardous to our world and also creates much toxic pollution. However, electric cars run off of electricity, which is a very clean and pollution free resource, depending on how the electricity was produced of course. In this paper we are going to examine the history of electric cars, look into modern electric car technology, and peer into the future of electric car technology to see if EVs might be the answer to dramatically reducing our global pollution.

Initial hydrogen, fuel cell and pure electric vehicles were not much successful as they were all very expensive and not very efficient. The true electric vehicles did not have the required standards of an American car buyer because they cost a lot, around US$

Technology has been advancing since the turn of the century at an unparalleled pace with the constant announcement of new gadgets and innovations. Of the thousands of new technological advancements made in the past decade, the introduction of the electric car has been the most widely discussed topic. Electric cars are one hundred percent emission free and can replace the fire spitting, bone chilling sounds of a thunderous gasoline engine with the eloquent silence of luxury and speed. However, as with all things technological, electric vehicles have their problems. Electric cars have several benefits and could possibly replace gas cars in the future, but they are not refined enough to take over the world today because of a few technicalities

Many other people continued the development and improvement of electric automobiles and for a time electric automobiles were the preferred type of Automobile because of their quiet ride, quick start-up, and lack of pollution. In fact electric automobiles held the land speed record well into the early 1900’s. However, they began to decline in the early 1900’s because of the increased prevalence and efficiency of the internal combustion engine.
