3. History
• Its hard to point out the invention of electric car to one inventor or
country, instead it was a series of breakthrough form the battery to
electric motors in 1800’s that led to the first EV on the road.
• In India, the concept pf electric vehicle was unveiled under ‘National
Electric Mobility Mission Plan(NEMMP) 2020’ in 2013 to address
the issue of energy security and vehicle pollution.
• In 2001, the first ever EV “REVA” was launched in India by Reva
Electric Car Company (now is is known as Mahindra Electric)
4. Introduction
• An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that is powered by an electric motor,
rather than a gasoline or diesel engine. The electric motor is powered by a
battery, which can be charged by plugging the vehicle into an electrical
outlet.
5. Carbon Emission
• Vehicle carbon emissions, primarily stemming from internal combustion engine vehicles, contribute
significantly to air pollution and climate change. These emissions result from the burning of fossil
fuels, releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
• Vehicle carbon emissions are a major contributor to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the
Earth's atmosphere.
• The combustion of gasoline and diesel fuels in vehicles releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent
greenhouse gas.
• These emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
• Alongside CO2, vehicles emit pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter, harming
air quality and public health.
• Shifting to electric vehicles (EVs) helps reduce vehicle carbon emissions by eliminating tailpipe
emissions.
• Hybrid vehicles and advanced emission control technologies also play a role in lowering carbon
emissions from vehicles.
7. Electrical Vehicles (EVs)
• There are two main types of electric vehicles:
• Battery electric vehicles (BEVs):
BEVs are powered only by batteries. They have a range of about 100 to 300
miles, depending on the battery size and the driving conditions.
• Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs):
PHEVs have both a battery and a gasoline engine. The battery can power the
vehicle for a limited distance, after which the gasoline engine kicks in. The range
of a PHEV can be up to 600 miles.
9. Acceptability of EV
1. Environmental Benefits:
• Zero Emissions: Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, which helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse
gas emissions, contributing to improved air quality and mitigating climate change.
• Reduced Carbon Footprint: EVs are more energy-efficient and produce fewer carbon emissions over their
lifetime compared to conventional vehicles, especially when charged with renewable energy sources like solar or
wind power.
2. Cost Savings:
• Lower Operating Costs: Electric cars have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance compared to
traditional vehicles. There's no need for oil changes, and brake wear is reduced due to regenerative braking.
• Lower Fuel Costs: The cost of electricity per mile is generally lower than that of gasoline or diesel, resulting in
lower fueling costs. Additionally, electricity prices tend to be more stable than fossil fuel prices.
• Incentives and Tax Breaks: Many governments offer incentives, rebates, and tax breaks to encourage the
adoption of electric vehicles, which can further reduce the upfront cost.
3. Performance:
• Instant Torque: Electric motors provide instant torque, leading to quick acceleration and responsive driving
experiences.
• Smooth and Quiet Operation: Electric vehicles operate quietly and provide a smoother ride compared to
vehicles with internal combustion engines.
10. 4. Energy Efficiency:
• Higher Efficiency: Electric motors are generally more energy-efficient than internal combustion
engines. EVs convert a higher percentage of the energy from the grid to power at the wheels, leading to
greater energy savings.
5. Technological Advancements:
• Innovative Features: Electric cars often come equipped with advanced technology features, including
regenerative braking, customizable driving modes, and cutting-edge infotainment systems.
6. Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels:
• Diversification of Energy Sources: EVs reduce the demand for oil, which can enhance energy security
and reduce reliance on unstable oil markets.
7. Noise Pollution Reduction:
• Quieter Operation: Electric cars are significantly quieter than traditional vehicles with internal
combustion engines, contributing to a reduction in noise pollution in urban areas.
11. Case Study
• The City of Oslo, Norway: Oslo is a leading city in the adoption of electric vehicles. In 2021, there were over
100,000 electric vehicles registered in the city, accounting for over 30% of all new car registrations. The city
has invested heavily in charging infrastructure, with over 15,000 public charging stations. Oslo has also
implemented a number of policies to encourage the use of electric vehicles, such as free parking and toll
exemptions.
12. Case Study
• The San Francisco Bay Area, California: The San Francisco Bay Area is another region that is leading the way
in the adoption of electric vehicles. In 2021, there were over 500,000 electric vehicles registered in the region,
accounting for over 10% of all new car registrations. The region has invested heavily in charging
infrastructure, with over 20,000 public charging stations. The San Francisco Bay Area has also implemented a
number of policies to encourage the use of electric vehicles, such as a HOV lane for electric vehicles and a
rebate program for electric vehicle purchases.
13. Benefits
• Electric vehicles offer a number of advantages over gasoline or diesel vehicles, including:
• Lower running costs: The cost of electricity is much lower than the cost of gasoline, so electric
vehicles are much cheaper to run.
• Zero emissions: Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, which can help to improve air
quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Lower maintenance costs: Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than gasoline or diesel
vehicles, so they require less maintenance.
• Government incentives: Many governments offer incentives for buying electric vehicles, such
as tax breaks or rebates.
• Quiet operation: Electric vehicles are much quieter than gasoline or diesel vehicles, which can
be beneficial in urban areas.
• Better acceleration: Electric motors can provide instant torque, which gives electric vehicles
better acceleration than gasoline or diesel vehicles.
14. Innovation in EV
• Mahindra XUV400 EV
• The XUV400 takes Mahindra’s legendary performance a notch higher still.
Experience class-leading acceleration of 0-100km/h in a blistering 8.3 seconds,
delivered with a best-in-class torque output of 310 Nm. All this power, and a
range of up to 456* km in a single charge. Now that’s unheard of.
15. Innovation in EV
• Tesla Model S
• The Tesla Model S is a battery electric full-size luxury sedan with
a liftback body style built by Tesla, Inc. since 2012. The Model S features
a battery-powered dual-motor, all-wheel drive layout, although earlier
versions featured a rear-motor and rear-wheel drive layout.
16. Innovation in EV
• OLA S1 PRO Model
• OLA S1 Pro is an electric scooter available in only 1 variant and 12 colors.
S1 Pro price starts at Rs. 1,39,828 in India. OLA S1 Pro generates 5500 W
power from its motor. With both front and rear disc brakes, OLA S1 Pro
comes up with combined braking system of both wheels.
18. Challenges
• The main disadvantages of electric vehicles are:
• Limited range: The range of electric vehicles is still limited, compared to gasoline or
diesel vehicles.
• Charging time: It can take several hours to fully charge an electric vehicle.
• Infrastructure: The availability of charging stations is still limited, especially in rural
areas.
• Improvement: It EV cars must be improved.
Despite these disadvantages, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular. As the
technology continues to improve and the availability of charging stations increases,
electric vehicles are expected to become a more mainstream option for transportation.
19. Conclusion
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular as a more sustainable and
environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles. The benefits of
electric vehicles include lower running costs, zero emissions, and lower maintenance
costs. However, there are still some challenges to overcome, such as limited range and
charging time. As the technology continues to improve and the availability of charging
stations increases, electric vehicles are expected to become a more mainstream option for
transportation.
