Electric Vehicle Industry Analysis
Increasing fuel prices is to give a difficult time for everyone. But car manufacturers have come up with a better solution to overcome this problem. Most automobile manufacturers are converting their vehicles 'green' by undulating, with hybrid cars. The increase in fuel prices in a way has helped the world to grow green.
Equipped with dual-engine configuration, hybrid cars containing petrol and an electric motor supplementing each other in different levels of speed throughout the trip. When the speed goes up, gasoline pushes the electric motor car and kicked and the implementation of a generator that recharges the electric battery in the car as the car slower.
No mention about electric cars when it comes to hybrid cars would probably be unfair. Sales rate electric cars has also increased. An electric car uses electric motors and motor controllers drive instead of propulsion methods More generally, as the internal combustion engine (ICE). Electric cars are a particular variety of electric vehicles created or adapted for use on the road.
They are usually powered by on-board batteries, and as such are battery electric vehicles (BEVSA). Other techniques Energy storage on board is expected to come into use in the future include ultra capacitors, fuel cells, and a tour flywheel that stores energy kinetics.
Well, what about the honors being given for these vehicles? The Green Car of the Year Award honors environmental leadership in the industry cars and identifies vehicles that are readily accessible by consumers. This is an award that has been the analysis by the editors of The Green Car Journal. The editors assess the most environmentally positive vehicles in the industry and reduce the list to five. The five finalists for 2010 are:
1. Audi A3 TDI (EPA rated fuel economy of 30/42 mpg)
2. Honda Insight (EPA rated fuel economy of 40/43 mpg)
3. Mercury Milan Hybrid (EPA rated 41/36 mpg fuel economy)
4. Toyota Prius (EPA rated fuel economy of 51/48 mpg)
5. Volkswagen Golf TDI (EPA rated fuel economy 30/42 mpg)
Compared to last year car manufacturers have been presented with new designs that are more diverse and innovative. Offer better environmental performance than ever before. The number of consumers who opt for hybrid and electric vehicles have increased and are expected to increase further.
What causes consumers to buy green cars is its fuel efficiency, reduced emissions of air pollution, and economic benefits. Most countries offer tax breaks to buy a hybrid car, an electric car or any other car that produces less emissions or zero emissions.
Although the automotive industry currently facing the crisis has a great hope on these cars. Almost all manufacturers have started producing cars green and have also requested increased tax rebates given by the ownership of these vehicles to encourage consumers to green growth. Especially countries like the U.S. intend to bring in millions of plug-in cars in 2015.
The green cars are a little expensive would definitely give a strong competition cars to the petrol version.
