ELECTRIC VEHICLES

The ultimate accomplishment is traveling or moving goods from point A to B without polluting our environment.  The USDOT recognizes that the U.S. transportation sector is currently responsible for approximately 28% of all GHG (Green House Gas) emissions and is expected to be one of the fastest-growing sources of GHG emissions globally. 

 

Consider that the U.S. has an estimated 282 million

registered cars in 2021, and the number of licensed drivers is expected to

grow by 10 million drivers by 2023.  What can we do to accelerate the adoption of EV's? 

It is estimated that China will have 285 million registered cars in 2021 and is expected to grow to 360 million by 2025. This is why China has created disincentives to purchase

gas-powered vehicles, is the largest EV producer in the world, and

only "new energy" vehicles will be sold from 2035 forward. 

​

Today, the best way to decarbonize our transportation sector is to stop using fossil-fuel-burning internal combustion engine (ICE) driven vehicles, replacing them with non-ICE vehicles with zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) while increasing the access to mass transit.

 

There are four primary vehicle types, ICE, conventional hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and pure electric battery electric vehicle (EV/BEV).  ZEV's can be EV/BEV technologies and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which are making inroads in Europe where green hydrogen sources are available.
