ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Environmental Impact
-
handling of waste products
of post-consumer electric
vehicles, including the batteries
which often contain toxic chemicals
the true impact of electric vehicles
is not as cut and dry as most marketing campaigns
would have people think, consumers should be educated about the full extent of the impact of their
buying decisions
battery manufacturing, energy source and autonomy to be the main areas of skepticism
despite potentially higher manufacturing emissions, the difference in tailpipe emissions over the course of a vehicles lifetime gives electric vehicles a significant edge over internal traditional vehicles
-
both plug-in electric and battery electric vehicles have a lower CO2 output compared to a new non-electric car even when totaling the electricity production emissions
Areas for improvement
Social Impact
-
• Policies should be in place that ensure high standards for the environmental and social considerations
-
-
Environmental Impact
• resources should be devoted to ensuring that there are clean sources of electricity to feed electric vehicles
a one-hundred percent improvement in the heat transfer coefficient on the treated surfaces leads to higher efficiency and even better environmental benefits
General Outlook
-
-
• It will also guide companies to search for solutions to problems that would make their products more appealing to consumers.
Perception of Technology
-
-
• skepticism should be encouraged on the part of the consumer to drive demand for improved solutions
-
• because many people predict that in the future all vehicles will be replaced by electric vehicles and it is important to know what the ramifications of the growing popularity of these are
• become educated on the various options for engine types that exist and the pros and cons and other nuances of each of those options
Major benefits
-
preclude a trip to the gas station and the connectivity, they have allow users to control charging from their phone
