⮚ INTRODUCTION

An Electric Vehicle is one that operates on an electric motor,

instead of an internal-combustion engine


(EV) that generates power by burning a mix of

fuel and gases. Therefore, such as vehicle is seen as a possible replacement for

current-generation automobile, in order to address the issue of rising pollution,

global warming, depleting natural resources, etc. Though the concept of electric

vehicles has been around for a long time, it has drawn a considerable amount of

interest in the past decade amid a rising carbon footprint and other environmental

impacts of fuel-based vehicles.

⮚ 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.

The five major challenges facing electric


vehicles

1- Change takes time

The amount of time it takes to charge a car depends on the battery capacity and

the speed of the charger. A standard wall charger can take 8 hours to charge a

Tesla Model S, whereas a supercharger would take 1 hour. Many chargers that

you will encounter out and about will take at least 2 hours to charge a discharged

battery fully.

⮚2-Electric Vehicle Driving Range

Although the range of most electric vehicle models has improved significantly in

just a few short years, a limited driving range does present a challenge to many

drivers.

The range on the 2020 Nissan Leaf is 150 miles, and the Tesla Model 3

(extended range) is up to 370 miles. Although this is conducive to in-town driving,

it can present challenges on longer drives or in colder weather. A cross-country

trip in an electric vehicle would require some careful planning and likely some

3
inconvenient stops. A study by AAA found that vehicle range went down by 41%

when the temperature dipped to 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the heat was on.

⮚3-Backing the right technology

There are rapid developments in battery and charging technology, but this is

causing deep uncertainty. Which charging technologies will become the gold

standard?

This is a particular problem for people living in apartment blocks, or houses

without a private parking space. Should they expect charging to be available at

bollards or lamp posts along their street?

Perhaps home charging will not be as important as it is now. Should drivers use

facilities at petrol stations, their office or in empty supermarket car parks at night?

Other options being explored include induction pads embedded in major roads,

which charge cars as they drive over them.

Where Can We Charge Our Electric Car?

Once we ensure enough green energy to charge all EVs, we have to secure enough

recharging stations around the world. This also won't be an easy task. According to

the Department of Energy, there are over 30,000 charging stations in the U.S.

However, as in traffic, there are peak hours which are the most convenient periods

for many drivers to charge their EVs.

4
To do that, the electric grid should have its own relatively high-cost storage system of

green electricity. Even with many owners recharging their electric cars at home

during the night, the home electrical systems should have their storage, since

renewable energy, like solar and wind, also has its "working hours".

⮚4- Difficulty Finding a Mechanic

⮚ Although electric cars require less maintenance and fewer repairs, it is still
important to find a qualified mechanic in your area. Unfortunately, 97% of

mechanics are not qualified to work on electric vehicles. Of the 3% that is,

many of them work for dealerships.

⮚ Unfortunately, electric vehicle owners have fewer options for qualified


mechanics.

⮚5-The zero-carbon fantasy

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 world

electricity was from renewable sources, there would still be an environmental cost.

Sourcing the minerals used for batteries, dismantling batteries which have

deteriorated, and building and delivering vehicles to customers worldwide all

involve substantial CO2 emissions. It is impossible to break all of the links.
