Featured image credits An electric vehicle (EV) generates more torque than a gasoline-powered automobile within a specific timeframe. An electric vehicle''s motor bypasses the lengthy process involved in internal combustion engines (ICE) to move the wheels. It generates torque instantaneously the moment you push the accelerator thanks to its relatively …
Myth #1: Electric vehicles are worse for the climate than gasoline cars because of power plant emissions. Myth #2: Electric vehicles are worse for the climate than gasoline cars because of battery manufacturing. Myth #3: Electric vehicle batteries are unreliable and need …

Considering billions of portable electronics and …
In short: Very green. But plug-in cars still have environmental effects. Here''s a guide to the main issues and how they might be addressed.
He''s Cardiff Business School''s Centre for Automotive Industry Research director, so has a good a handle on battery electric vehicle future trends. Ask him why electric vehicles generally cost more to buy than their petrol or diesel equivalents, and he''ll suggest a number of reasons."EVs are not as far down the development curve as ...
A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature has confirmed what common sense has made clear for years: Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles aren''t likely to catch up to battery-electric ...
Executive Summary The environmental advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) over internal combustion engine-powered vehicles are as obvious as the lack of a tailpipe emitting air pollutants and carbon dioxide, but …
Electric vehicles don''t cause more pollution in the long run. Electric vehicles, often called EVs, are responsible for less global-warming pollution over their life cycle than gas-powered vehicles, despite the fact that battery manufacturing — for the moment — increases the climate impacts of EV production.
As this produces small particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns (PM10) or less (a typical human hair is 50–70 microns wide), the suggestion is electric vehicles will produce more of it.
Since electric cars initially have a higher drag coefficient than internal combustion engine automobiles, electric vehicles typically use less electricity at a given speed when assuming identical-sized automobiles. The reason for this is that electric cars'' drivelines are generally smooth and their bodies barely experience any airflow.
Gasoline-powered vehicles are the biggest source of emissions from the U.S., accounting for more than a quarter of emissions. But Thursday, President Biden laid out new rules, agreements and ...
For batteries, electric cars are the most important and the biggest growth market by far. From 2030, they could account for between 25 and 75 percent of newly registered passen-for …
Price is arguably the most important reason why. Legislators need to address that in a way that makes sense. And current subsides aren''t the answer. Knocking $7,500 off a $60,000 car matters little to middle and low income household because $52,500 is far more than these households ever could — or would — spend on a car. "A recent study showed that one …
Globally, 95% of the growth in battery demand related to EVs was a result of higher EV sales, while about 5% came from larger average battery size due to the increasing share of SUVs …
Electric vehicles have proved far less reliable, on average, than gasoline-powered cars, trucks and SUVs, according to the latest survey by Consumer Reports, which found that EVs from the 2021 ...
Benefits of electric vehicles. There is no doubt that the future of transportation is electric and that is good news for the environment because electric cars don''t have tailpipes—meaning that they don''t spit carbon dioxide …

So why aren''t there more electric vehicles (EVs) on the world''s roads? Reasons for the slow uptake of electric vehicles vary between countries. A UK survey found the most common reason for not buying one was a lack of fast charging points (37%) followed by concerns about range (35%) and cost (33%).
Electric vehicles have neither engines nor tailpipes. Instead, they have batteries that power electric motors. It''s the same setup as a remote-controlled toy car, although a great deal of hard engineering has gone into making this work with a heavy, human-scaled vehicle that runs for hundreds of miles on a single charge. Challenges to electric vehicle …
