5. Introduction
What is Electric Vehicle?
Mainly 3 Types
Directly powered from an external power station
Powered by stored electricity originally from external
power source
Powered by on-board electrical generator
History
There is no certain inventor
Started in the 19th century
Became more popular in the early 20th century

7. Content Information: Facts
Powered by an electric motor rather than a gasoline
engine
Impossible tell whether it is an electric as mostly
electric cars are created by converting a gasolinepowered car, biggest clue is the fact that it is
nearly silent

8. Content Information: Facts
Japan
US
France
• more than 28,000 electric cars have
been sold through Dec 2012
• Largest fleet of plug-in electric
vehicles in the world
• More than 14,600 electric cars have
been registered through Dec 2012

9. Content Information: Charging
System
Goals:
To pump electricity into the batteries as quickly as the
batteries will allow
To monitor the batteries and avoid damaging them during
the charging process
Abilities:
monitor battery voltage, current flow and battery
temperature to minimize charging time
sends as much current as it can without raising battery
temperature too much

10. Content Information: Pros / Cons
Pros
Create less pollution than gasoline-powered cars
-> eco- friendly
Quiet
Reduce energy dependence
Energy efficiency

11. Content Information: Pros / Cons
Cons
Expensive
Hard to find charging facilities
High maintenance fee
Takes more time for charging

19. Analysis of survey result(1)
From the graph, it shows that……………
most of the respondent think that there is a
positive prospect of electric vehicle -> as
technology become more advanced, electric
vehicle may become more user-friendly
The younger the respondent, the more they think
that electric vehicles can replace gasoline vehicles
in the future -> experience advanced technology,
are confident with the prospect of electric vehicles

20. Survey Result (2)
How much the respondents know about electric
vehicle?
Expert
Know well
Little bit

21. Analysis of survey result(2)
From the graph, it shows that……………
most of people have limited recognition
about electric vehicle -> shows that the
popularity of electric vehicle is not very high
the number of people who know very well
about electric vehicle is one of the least

23. Analysis of survey result(3)
From the graph, it shows that……………
Cost is there first concern when they buy a car
The number of recharge station is their second
concern
-> in order for electric vehicles to become more
common, these factors are the problems that need to
be solved
23
24. Future Development
By the year 2020 30% of the cars driving on
the road will be battery electric or plug-in
hybrid
One in 10 cars globally will run on battery power
alone by 2020
By 2020 electric vehicles and other green cars will
take a third of the total of global car sales
24
26. Conclusion
This data analysis reflects the current environment
that the electric vehicle faces today.
It represents what people want from the electric
vehicles in the future.
The technology development and new inventions
will lead the electric vehicles to be more common in
the public.
