How can the performance of electric vehicles be improved?

Increasing of efficiency of power convertors. Special design of electric engines. Using supercapacitors, fuel cells and new generation batteries. Route selection on the criterion of minimum consumption in real time.

Which can be used in terms of material for a EV for making it high efficient?

Aluminium has been a key metal in the development of EVs. Its low density allows for the overall vehicle weight to be reduced. This is a crucial factor for increasing the energy efficiency and thus the range of EVs. Despite this trend, aluminium will remain a key material for battery EVs.

What are the major challenges facing implementation of hybrid and electric vehicle?

Limited driving range, high costs, battery issues, and a spotty charging infrastructure are the main challenges for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). In addition, there are issues with various power semiconductors and other devices.

Are electric vehicles the right choice for You?

Fun to drive and cheaper to operate, electric vehicles have grown in popularity considerably in recent years. However, automakers still need to overcome some hurdles before they’re broadly adopted. It’s important to consider these issues before buying an electric vehicle to make sure it is the right choice for you.

Is consumer interest in electric vehicles on the rise?

Consumer interest is rising fast: US surveys show almost 40\% more people considering a PHEV—and 20\% more considering a BEV—in 2018 than in 2010. Fully 70\% of EV owners intend to purchase electric again, and we now see a growing number of US families with two BEVs in their garages.

When will electric cars take over the global market?

These cars will seize a third of the market by 2025 and 51\% by 2030, surpassing sales of vehicles powered purely by internal combustion engines (ICEs). Our previous forecast, completed in 2017, showed xEV sales taking a quarter of the market by 2025 and approaching 50\% by 2030.

Are 100\% electric vehicles the answer to the UK’s emissions problem?

Even 100\% electric vehicles are not a zero-carbon solution. They may not produce the usual exhaust pipe emissions, but even if all of the UK’s electricity was from renewable sources, there would still be an environmental cost.
