Electric Cars - The future ?

[mmfiore]

A car that uses a battery cannot be competitive. There is no economic effect from its use. It constantly requires recharging. We have to have two cars. For trips around the city and for distant journeys. It is more cost-effective to have one car on a traditional type of fuel.

Try that again in 20-50 years when oil reserves become scares, and that you have to sell a kidney to fill a tank.

That said, for the moment you're absolutely right. Car producers profit way too much from traditional cars at the moment to develop serious alternatives or even let it happend.

The electric car doesn't represent a solution for the future for the simple fact that the accumulators are not recycled, so the pollution suddenly will become worst. The best solution for the future, regarding the transport, is a good efficient public transport system.

True that. For now. That's why we would need serious researches on greenmotors but that ain't happenning for the reasons i mentioned above .


But i'd love to see that happend tho ... Living in a city, i can't imagine how great it would be without air and noise pollution all day long.

I thought we'd be closer to this point.  However, since Trump has unfortunately been deregulating many industries in the US. I think it's being stalled for years to come unless Europe somehow changes their mind as well. After watching the VW scandal on  Netflix,  it's hard to believe Germany will  change any laws. Each countries best interest is their citizens and economy.

I've read of folks making cars run on water. Those engineers are hired by car manufacturers and then never commercial anything because there is no money to be made. Business mainly see revenue for change.

I think within the next decades electric cars are the future. But as always there will come new possibilities to travel that we cannot oversee right now. Perhaps hydrogen cars will be the future or solar cars, who knows...

 Electric cars are environmentally friendly and the future of transportation. Though, it may not happen now, but in the near future, electric cars will be the norm and standard.

[orarider]

Future electric cars are the best solution to protect the environment. Now companies are trying to produce electric cars. It makes the atmosphere less polluted. People will be less affected by climate change. I hope in the future everyone will use electric cars.

With new invention and fast pace technology that we have it isn't possible that people can create something like that...in the future.. but as of now it's a long way off there's still many things to consider and do to make it happen...

[copypaper5]

Most countries have air pollution problems on means of transportation. Nothing is impossible, everyone including me also wants to have an electric car, can be environmentally friendly. But the obstacle is the infrastructure that supports the existence of this electric car which I think is still difficult, that's what makes people think twice to buy it.

Would be better to have an electric car, however there is a strong oil lobby that doesn't let electric cars become a reality. There are much money involved and if suddenly everyone starts using electric cars, then a lot of rich guys will lose their wealthy income. And some countries that explore oil would lose the income as well. Electric cars + renewable energy sources are a good solution to decrease costs and at same decrease the pollution in the world.

The ironic is that it's already possible to become a reality, but because some people don't want, it's not put in practice.

Alot of the major car manufacturers are turning their sights on electric and hybrid cars and it seems it's only a matter of time before petrol and diesel cars are gone the way of the dodo. Tesla unveiled an impressive truck for transporting goods. Alot of governments and car manufacturers seem to be getting on board with going green for all the obvious reasons but how soon do you predict before electric is the norm in transportation ?

Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one  ? What are your reasons for buying it ?

I think electric cars will be a great idea for the future. Daily dust from cars or motorcycles affect the environment is very toxic. We need to fix it to get a better environment.
I like the electric car because of its silence. In addition, electric vehicles will help our environment become better. That's why I chose the electric car.

[Sithara007]

Yes, I think the future for electric cars is because they are environmentally friendly and because electric motors have high efficiency.

I agree with you on environmental friendliness and efficiency. But the problem is with affordability. Electric cars are unaffordable to the vast majority of the population. And for the past many years, there has been no progress in bringing down the cost of these cars. On top of that, there are other issues, such as those related to charging and maintenance.

[spacedis]

There is also the problem of the Batteries don't last forever and those become waste. They weigh so much that it takes a lot more energy to move the vehicle.

I think if you could do something with compressed air like they have small commuter cars that would be the really perfect solution.

[balintong15]

electric cars. oh wow. everything in the future will be automatic. i guess even if electric cars have great and best features compared to ordinary cars, i do not want them. why? because in my opinion, diesel and gasoline entrepreneurs will protest to this. because their business will be washed out if electric cars will be sold. there will be no customers who will go them and buy gasoline. and i am pretty sure that electric companies will be very happy because their business will grow and increase higher than their success now. passengers will love them. even mechanics personnel will be very happy because their work will be easier and lighter.

[coinSpecter32]

I don't think that it will happen soon. There are still a lot of obstacles for using electric cars. For example infrastructure. People will use regular oil until it ends

I could argue on this. Actually, manufactures are already diversifying to make their products more eco-friendly thus making more HYBRID cars. Actually in US, I believe people are now using hybrid cars. So I disagree with your statement.

[setiawan101]

If we live an electric car, surely the thought will be directed to Tesla. Yes, electric cars that the concept is laughed at by many of these parties, now successfully stunning the world. Not only from the cool technology, but also the luxurious and elegant desainya so everyone who sees will want to have it.

Those oils will become less and less in the future and that's why it is better to choose electric cars now. Electricity can be produced unlike oils that need many years to reach their form so if people want to avoid oil to become very expensive then shift now.

[tiar4dewie]

The energy required in this car is enormous, they must make adequate electrical energy storage. Because the mileage of each person is not the same every day. For now I'm not too interested in this car, because if if the energy run out in the middle of the journey, it will be confusing.

[mylifeisorandom]

Having electric cars in the future isn't possible for the research is already on it's way. I just hope that it won't cause any harm to nature and mother earth. Rather, make electric cars that rely on solar power for energy conservation. It'll be cheaper and also not dangerous to nature

[djangocoin]

I don't think that it will happen soon. There are still a lot of obstacles for using electric cars. For example infrastructure. People will use regular oil until it ends

No they won't as oil could take 100 years "to end". There does need to be more charging stations and for the price of the vehicles to come down though, but that will happen.

The near future is electric cars, then electric self driving cars. I expect we will see a lot more of them next decade, but they will start to become prevalent in the 2030s i imagine.

[ViewSonic]

I'm going to buy and see a lot of pluses. The purchase of an electric car is not taxed, the owners of such cars are provided with free travel on paid sections of the routes, as well as preferential parking in the centers of large cities

[magle]

I do think it will happen and that it is simply a matter of time, at least in Europe, many countries are implementing laws that will more or less ban any new ICE cars from being sold around 2030-2040.

Tesla is showing the way, but their cars are also very expensive at this time, I know they have the model 3, but since it has huge waiting lists etc. and the fact that we have a lot of mini cars in Europe, means that we wont see much change until all the old carmarkers get their production going.

I follow a blog called www.electrek.co on a daily basis and it does seem like most carmarkers will be comming out with a low of new eletric cars around year 2020.

Would pesonally love to own an eletric car, happy to go with Model 3 from Tesla. The others Blot etc. still have too short range for it to be pratical. But as soon as all the carmarkers start making eletric cars in bulk, there will also be a leap in technologi and the price of batteries will be driven down. Making it more affordable for all of us.
