Is Electric Vehicle a Future of Present Vehicle ?

 CAN ELECTRIC VEHICLES TAKE PLACE OF TODAY'S VEHICLE ?

Cars, buses, motorcycles, trucks,helicopters and even ships. Electric vehicles are slowly but surely making inroads into the transportation industry, but is that this enough to actually change the way we travel? Here in Singapore, there have been more than 930,000 vehicles on the road in 2018. Only 707 of them were electric. That doesn’t sound like much, but just five years before that, there have been only seven electric vehicles. That’s a ten ,000% increase. Now we’re seeing more charging points and electric car-sharing services shooting up all round the island. But what about the rest of the world?

 Well, China, Europe and therefore the United States led in electric vehicle, or EV, sales in 2018, with nearly two million electric cars bought between them. But they create up only a small fraction of the world’s automobiles as an entire . within the Nordic countries however, EVs are starting to command a large market share. Nearly 50% of Norway’scars are electric. In 2018, the highest sellers were Tesla, Beijing Electric Vehicles, BYD and Nissan, but the electrical drive isn't confined to non-public vehicles. Electric tuk-tuks and mini-cabs are also shooting up everywhere the planet . to not mention hover boards, Segways and even laptop-sized super cars that you simply can carry in your bag. whether by providing more charging points or phasing out carbon-emission cars altogether.

 But that's only one part of the equation. because the electric vehicle industry grows,more talent and resources are going to be required. I visited electric vehicle expert Subodh Mhaisalkhar to seek out out more. So during a place like Singapore, the government is more inclined to let the private sector lead. In other countries round the world, where there's an over-arching commitment towards the environment, the town has been quite willing to-provide the charging infrastructure. As of today, EVs are far more expensive than a standard petrol car. However, within the next five years, it's predicted the value of an EV will equal the cost of a petrol-driven vehicle. At that time , it'll be a no-brainer for people to modify to an EV car. the most draw for a switch to electric transport is in fact , reducing our carbon footprint. But electricity still must be drawn from somewhere,and power plants aren’t exactly pollution-free. 

Thirty-eight percent of the world’s electricity still comes from burning coal, the source of energy that-causes the foremost pollution. Americans still depend upon coal to generate more than 1 / 4 of its power, while it makes up about 60% of China’s energy mix. With more electric vehicles and charging stations being built, demand for electricity also will increase. consistent with future projections,electric vehicles will cause global electricity consumption to rise 6.8% by 2040. This brings up the question of whether any positive environmental impact of an electrical transportation system will be significant enough. If the savings just aren’t there, will A global adoption be worth it? The switch from a petroleum vehicle to a hybrid or a full electric, will really save emissions by a minimum of 20 – 30%.which will probably be the foremost sustainable form of transport that we’ll see going into the longer term .

 But there could be other factors hindering the mass adoption of electrical vehicles. it might be impractical to create charging infrastructure in countries with mountainous terrain or incompatible electrical grids,like Nepal or Pakistan. And let’s face it, the range of electrical passenger vehicles available on the market now remains modest. The motorcycle scene is additionally buzzing for a slice of the electrical pie, with an array of dirt bikes,scooters, and mopeds. Established marquees like BMW, Vespa and Harley-Davidson also are joining the sport . 

But just 11 months after the debut of Harley's fully electric motorcycle, the Live Wire, the corporate has halted production after it discovered a drag with its charging mechanism. And Dyson, more famous for its vacuum cleaners and fans, has also abruptly cancelled its electric project, citing difficulties in making it commercially viable. The list includes Apple, with its rumored electric car project, and Google’s parent company, Alphabet. it'd mean that we will expect a few surprises in technological innovations.

 As interesting because it would be to observe heritage brands marry their distinct styles with electric capabilities, a loyal customer base won't be enough leverage for a raid the electrical industry, given the difficulties companies are now facing. But it’s not just the consumers who will got to be won over. New electric manufacturer Have more barriers to entry, like forming a network of suppliers and sales,which gives traditional automakers a foothold . Electric transport has taken to the skies also . Flying cars, flying taxis, have been talked about for ages. and that we looked across the technology spectrum and said, "Okay, what’s changed to form this a reality now?"
