Prior to this course I was unaware of just how much fossil fuel the world uses and how if we don’t improve on our consumption we will run out in the not so distant future. As fossil fuel diminishes one step that many of us might consider is reducing the amount of fossil fuels we use in our transportation needs. In this class I researched and compared and contrasted all the major electric, hybrid and standard vehicles in an effort to show readers what type of vehicle may meet there wants and or needs. Through my research I discovered the importance of car companies to continue to make advances on these electric automobiles. While writing this paper I was able to provide justification and a strong rationale in the selection of a vehicle. Lastly, there are many other solutions for example as developing different and cleaner fuels or increasing public transportation. This course has opened my eyes to many energy solutions for the future of our …show more content…

    The idea behind the Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) was intended to reduce emissions (generated by burning fossil fuels) that are polluting our air and depleting the ozone. AFV’s also help reduce our dependence on foreign oil (mostly from a highly unstable region of the world). Prior to a decision being made whether or not to alternative fuel vehicles to the fleet of Lotus Rental Cars, we most determine if alternative fuel vehicles are actually a feasible choice. To do this we must first have an understanding of alternative fuel vehicles. Through our research, we have discovered that there are a growing number of alternative fuel vehicles on the road today. Alternative fuel vehicles are defined as any vehicle that can operate on a fuel or power source other than diesel or gasoline. These vehicles come in many different forms, from small commuter cars to larger commercial vehicles. The use of these alternative fuel sources greatly reduces out countries dependency on foreign oil and reduces air pollution caused by CO2 emissions (Gable & Gable, 2009).…

    From the original electric van that was only able to travel 14 miles per hour, innovators throughout the years have been able to create more and more efficient cars that are now as luxurious as a Mercedes-Benz and as powerful as a sports car. With the advancements in technology as well as the continued interest in creating an electric vehicle that was capable of functioning as well as, if not better than a gasoline-powered vehicle, the electric vehicle has reached a point in its life where affordability is the only issue in making the electric car readily available to the middle-class and decreasing the harmful effects of gasoline-powered…

    The common car with its Internal Combustion Engine has advantages and disadvantages; the cost to purchase a car with an internal combustion engine compared to an electric car is lower, as there is the ability to mass produce a product which is still in huge demand. In today’s world oil derived fuel is accessible and relatively cheap to the consumer, as the infrastructure is already set up to enable the simple and quick refuelling of the car. The negative side to the common car is the fuel which it used, all of the fuels for Internal Combustion engines are derived from oil. The worldwide production of oil has peaked and oil production is now dwindling, this is not easily seen by the consumer purchasing the fuel who might be oblivious to the fact. With an increasing demand for oil and an ever decreasing supply it is becoming more and more difficult and expensive to produce oil which is useable, oil is now so valuable that there are wars over supplies.…

    Initially, the types of fuels that are available need to be researched to determine the viability of introducing hybrid vehicles into our fleet. While there are several options of alternative fuels available, most are not practical. The fuels analyzed included natural gas, biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, Fischer Tropsch, liquefied natural gas, methanol, and propane. Ultimately, the research concluded that the only practical, economical, and accessible fuel currently available is electricity, when used in the hybrid concept. There are many vehicles that use electricity. The most popular concept is used in hybrid vehicles. These vehicles have an electric…

In the next few years the impact of petroleum (fossil fuel) burning vehicles on the environment will only get worse. We need to reduce our dependence of imported oil, we can do this by utilizing alternative fuels that are derived from resources other than petroleum. Some of these resources are renewable and can be produced here in the United States. With all of the technology we have available today we have to start using it. We need alternative fueled vehicles more than ever with rising fuel costs, and a dwindling fuel supply, because gasoline engines omit emissions which aid in Global Warming. As the temperature continues to rise, sea levels rise, the oceans temperature rises, echo-systems will fail, agriculture will suffer, disease will spread, and natural disasters will increase such as: floods, droughts, hurricanes, wild fires will all be at record highs. To ignore the devastating effects possible from global warming would be futile. Green house gasses have to be lowered now to avoid catastrophe. It is imperative new alternative fuel sources emerge immediately to avoid the inevitable. There has been consistent research and development to help diminish our dependency on foreign oil. Some of the ideas presented are new while some are out of the past such as: steam, air, electric, robotic, hydrogen, solar, flying cars, under water cars, and computer cars. Once auto makers get on board in full stride and emerge, competition erupts between automakers, and we finally see the results of their efforts. In the near future automobiles with internal combustion engines will still dominate our roads, as auto makers continue to improve fuel efficiency in these cars everyone drives. The EPA estimates an increase in fuel efficiency of 30% over cars produced 15 years ago. The…

The developmental history of electric cars is very long, and the first automobile all over the world was an electric car. However, electric cars had two terrible disadvantages: the problem of energy technology and mileage limit around 20 century. The problems made electric cars disappeared from citizens eyes for a while. Until recent decades, gas’ price was more and more expensive, and the environment pollution is more and more terrible; government started to focus on the development of electric cars which is green, and use electric as fuel.

In the early 2000, Toyota Priuses and other electric cars only sold out about 800 to 1000 EVs. At the first month of 2013, there were many electric cars selling out such as Nissan’s leaf and Chevrolet Volt. They were 6800 and 24500 vehicles. And the charging station was the same situation. Right now there were much more charging stations then before. Electric cars sold volume jump very fast. Electric cars are much better performance than gas-power cars in main three fields: pollution, economic, and energy.…
