The Future Is Electric Car

Introduction:

Is the future of US vehicle industries moving toward EV(electric vehicle)? Through this research, I will try to find out that, is the vehicle makers are moving to EV from gasoline. The vehicle runs with the power of electricity and which is rechargeable is known as an electric vehicle.  The first electric vehicle was invented in the 19th century by Anyos Jedlik. Nowadays, one of the biggest reasons for air pollution is gasoline vehicles. Gasoline is expensive and the reserve of gasoline is limited, one day it could be finished so, we have to think about the alternative. There is no better alternative than EV, electricity is cheap and easily producible. Some big vehicle makers like Ford’s start moving toward Ev, but vehicle makers like Toyota think that hydrogen fuel is the fuel future. When we talk about the electric car, the first company name which comes to mind is Tesla. Tesla’s first car was Roadster, which was the first highway-legal electric car. In my research, I will try to find out whether the maintenance of electric cars is cheaper than gasoline cars and also try to find out how reliable they are. I also have to find out that, is the price of the electric vehicles within the budget of middle-class people, and is the electric vehicle safe for daily use? According to Statista, in 2020, the estimated sale of electric vehicles in the United state was 290,000. Everything in the world has a good side and a bad side. If I talk about the limitation or bad side of the electric car, one thing that first comes to mind is the range of the battery and charging time. Electric vehicle makers are trying hard to improve the range of the battery and shorting the charging but it’s a long way to go. Maybe the future of electric cars is not that far.

1.  Steel, Alix, “Special Report: EVs: On the Brink of Change,” news: Bloomberg markets and Finance, February 22, 2020. https://youtu.be/MOcyXjRpPNc

2.Alix Steel in her “on the brink of change,” from Bloomberg Market And Finance published on Feb 22, 2020, questioned that, Is the electric vehicle, right for mass adoption? The price of the battery is still high that why consumers are not still adopting it. The experts are expecting until by 2024 the price of the electric car will remain higher than the regular gasoline car. The Alix also reminds us the electric vehicle is not new the history of electric vehicles starts in the 19th century.  The Alix thinks that the sedan car is going to disappear and whether it’s an SUV or Truck power by a better power EV or hydrogen fuel cell, the vehicle that transports us and how it transports us on the bricks of change.

 3. I think that the documentary was very informative they discussed all the aspects of the electric vehicle. In the report “on the brink of change,” they discuss how the journey of the electric vehicle start, what’s the present condition and what could be in the future. There was also a lot of analysis on the report what makes it more practical and acceptable to everyone. I also like how they organized to present the data.

 4. Steel Alix graduated from Northwestern University, earning her bachelor’s degree in communications, and studied business journalism at New York University. Steel Alix is a news anchor currently working for Bloomberg News based in New York City. She has been nominated for the SABEW award many times. I think she is creditable for this documentary because she is experienced, and she knows what she is doing. I like her presentation, she shows us how the transportation industries moving toward the electric vehicle.

 5. The genre of this source is a youtube video and it’s a documentary about electric vehicles and how the transportation system is changing. It shows how everyone in the automotive industry is trying to move towards electric vehicles, and how the transportation industry is moving towards driverless transportation systems.

 6. “Vehicle that transport us and how its transport us it on the brink of change.” nowadays, most of the vehicles that we use are gasoline cars, but the future is moving toward electric cars.  Someday when you call a taxi maybe there will be an electric car that showed up with no driver on it, and maybe your pizza will be also delivered in a driverless car, this idea is what going to be in the future of the in-vehicle industry and everyone investing in it.

Discuss how a startup company like Tesla has to overcome many barriers and compete with the well-established renowned company. Tesla’s cars are electric, which’s why they are nature friendly, That was the biggest advantage of tesla what allowing them to get incentives from the government, which makes their cars cheaper than the competitors. Tesla knows that the future is electric vehicles what makes them successful. Now, everyone is following their path because there is no alternative way. 

 3. I think the article is well thought out. In the article, the authors discuss how a start-up company like Tesla became the vehicle industry leader and move the vehicle industry toward electric vehicles.

  2. Aj Abell in his report  “electric cars on the rise” in  Action News Now, shows how much people love electric cars. People are on the waitlist for 8 months to get their electric car. The biggest selling feature of electric cars is people can save as much as 4000$ in gasoline. In a survey of AAA, they found that one-fifth of an American thinks that their next vehicle will be an electric car. Electric cars are environment-friendly and cost-effective what makes consumers interested in electric cars.

3.  The source is a news report where they interviewed a dealership manager and they show a AAA survey, which was what consumers think about electric cars. The video was short and informative.

 5. The genre of this source is a news report video. This genre is full of information. They show how much-interested people are to get their electric car Rayan Sutton, manager of the car dealership, said several of his friends have been on the waiting list for electric cars for eight months. 

 6. “If you are just driving around town electric is the way to go.” electric cars are environment-friendly and cost-efficient, but the biggest problem of electric cars is the range of the battery. There is still not enough charging station and it still takes a long time to charge the battery. Some people think that electric cars are small little golf cars but some of the electric can go as fast as 120 mph. According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), this kind of care is very efficient. On average, Americans driving an electric car will cost about $500, but a gasoline car costs $1833. This item is a big saving in an eclectic car that encourages consumers in the eclectic car and it is also environmentally friendly too. According to AAA, 80% of the consumer likely to buy electric cars because of the concern about the environment.

Conclusion:

The idea of the electric car is not new, but the idea starts to come true in recent years when Tesla started the production of electric cars. Tesla is the first company who successfully proves that it is possible to use the fully electric car for daily use. The problem nowadays electric cars facing is the range of the battery, charging time, and unavailability of charging stations. Tesla is working on those issues for the past few years and they continuously improve. Nowadays, Tesla cars get a range of 250 to 350 miles depending on models and they are also improving charging time and building new supercharging stations all over the US. The biggest advantage of electric cars is they are environmentally friendly because electrics cars are zero emissions.  According to the survey of the AAA, 80% of the consumer of electric cars buy an electric car because the electric car is environment friendly. Nowadays, people don’t buy electricity because they are environmentally friendly also because of the performance. Even though luxurious car brands like Mercedes, Porsche, and many more companies are now producing electric cars. Government incentives also help to develop the electric vehicle market. markets. The electric car makers not only making electric cars they are also trying to set up a driverless driving system. Tesla’s autopilot program allows their cars to drive without any driver but they are not fully successful yet but the driverless riding is not that far. Also, a ride-sharing company like Uber investing in it. Electric cars cost-efficient, they need much less maintenance than gasoline cars. Usually, electric cars have only batteries and an electric motor but in gasoline cars is so much stuff underneath the hood, that stuff like engine, transmission, and other stuff needs regular maintenance. That needs a lot of money to maintain those gasoline cars but electric cars usually don’t need that kind of maintenance. Another biggest advantage of the electric car is people can charge their car at home, they need not go to any charging station and wait there hours to full charge. I think that there is no alternative to electric cars. Still, the price of the electric car is higher than the gasoline car, I think more government incentives are needed to keep the price of electric cars in the price range of everyone. There is also a need to raise awareness among electric car consumers because people still believe that electric cars are not as safe as gasoline cars.
