IS OUR FUTURE GOING TO BE CONTROLLED BY ELECTRIC VEHICLES?
The global warming and the ever-increasing pollution has left the developed as well as the developing countries to think about their future. The countries have been trying to implement various measures to control the pollution. One such implementation is preferring electronic vehicles rather than the diesel ones.
Electric vehicles are going mainstream not just in the richer developed nations but also in the developing nations. India is one of the fastest developing nations and in India the low-cost electric vehicle technology is entering the mainstream by replacing auto-rickshaws. There are number of companies such as Heroelectric, Ather Energy Pvt Ltd, YoBykes, Twenty Two Motors and many other to have launched electric scooters in India. The Indian government plans to transform India into an e-vehicle ecosystem by 2030 and reach zero emissions by 2040.
Furthermore, Brits are encouraged by the UK government to start their transition to electric and hybrid vehicles as the government in planning to ban the sale of petrol and diesel by 2040. In the UK, the electric vehicle market experienced a record year in sales in 2017 averaging over 4,000 new registrations per month in the UK. Diesel cars have also been banned in parts of some German cities in a bid to cut pollution. Oliver Blume said 'We as a sports car manufacturer, however, for whom diesel has always played a secondary role, have come to the conclusion that we would like our future to be diesel-free.' It has also been argued that Tesla's struggles are a threat to the future of electric cars as the transition to electrical vehicles is increasingly dependent on the success of Tesla which accounted for 60% of all electrical vehicles sold in the United States by the end of this year.
There are 30 electric cars that will be on the road by 2025. One of them will be Porsche Taycan. Porsche says that it will have over 300 miles of range and the ability to accelerate from 0-6- mph in less than 3.5 seconds. Many other electric cars will be launched by the companies such as Jaguar, Volkswagen, Aston Martin, Tesla and many others. Therefore, the battery powered cars are coming soon from the best brands and they soon be on the road in the next five years
