Presentation on electric vehicles

1. Electric Vehicles (EVs): A Cleaner Road
Content: Pros, Cons, Comparison with
Fossil Fuel Vehicles, and Impact.

2. Introduction to Electric Vehicles (EVs)
•Unlike petrol/diesel vehicles, EVs produce zero
tailpipe emissions.
•EVs use electric motors powered by rechargeable
batteries.
•Rapid growth due to technological advancements
and environmental concerns.

3. Types of EVs :
•Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) – Combine
electric motor with internal combustion engine.
•Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) – Fully electric (e.g.,
Tesla Model 3, Tata Nexon EV).
•Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) – Mostly rely on petrol
but with battery support (e.g., Toyota Prius)

4. Pros of EV’s :
• Reduced greenhouse gases.
• Environmentally Friendly – No tailpipe emissions
• Lower Running Costs – Electricity is cheaper than
petrol/diesel.
• Low Maintenance – Fewer moving parts
• (no oil changes, fewer breakdowns).
• Quiet and Smooth Drive – No engine noise; instant torque.
• Government Incentives – Subsidies, tax benefits, lower
registration costs.

6. Cons of EV’s :
• Expensive battery and technology.
• High initial cost
• Limited Range – Lower mileage per charge
compared to full tank of fuel.
• Charging Infrastructure – Not fully developed in
many areas.
• Long Charging Time – Takes hours compared to
minutes for refueling.
• Battery Degradation – Performance can decline
over years

9. Impact on Pollution :
1) Air Pollution Reduction : No tailpipe pollutants like
CO2, NOx, and PM.
2) Helps reduce urban smog and respiratory
diseases.
3) Noise Pollution Reduction : Drastically lower.
4) Battery Production Impact: Environmental cost
during lithium/cobalt mining. Recycling programs
and eco-friendly materials are improving this.

10. Current Status and Future of EVs :
China, Europe, and the US leading EV adoption.
•Global Trends:Over 20 million EVs on roads
globally (as of 2024).
India’s EV Status : FAME II Scheme: Incentives for
EV buyers and manufacturers.
Growth in electric two-wheelers and fleet
adoption.
Target: 30% electric vehicles by 2030

11. How EVs are Overcoming Diesel/Petrol
Vehicles :
•Faster charging (ultra-fast chargers).
•Lower battery costs.
•Urban policies : Bans on ICE (Internal Combustion
Engine) vehicles in some cities
• EV-only zones.
•Technological improvements leading to better
battery efficiency and range.
•Increasing public awareness of climate impact.

12. Additional Insights : Smart Grid Integration
• EVs can be used for energy storage and
peak load balancing. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
• Future where EVs can return power to the
grid.
•Second-Life Batteries: Repurposing EV
batteries for solar power storage

14. Conclusion:
•EVs are a sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel
vehicles.
•While challenges exist, innovations and policies
are accelerating the shift.
•Transitioning to EVs is crucial for reducing
pollution and fighting climate change
