Electric Vehicle Systems
Welcome to the exciting world of Electric Vehicles (EVs). EVs have appeared throughout automotive history but have never experienced the wave of attention that they do today. Pollution, higher gas prices, an impending oil shortage, and major technology improvements have caused a flurry of activity to bring this promising technology to market.
What is an EV?
Unlike a gasoline car powered by an engine, an EV is powered by an electric motor and batteries stored inside the car. When the batteries need recharging you simply plug the car into a 120 volt or 240 volt outlet from the convenience of your home. Most EV owners charge their cars overnight, others may give their batteries a boost by charging after short trips.
There are approximately 4,000 EVs on the road today in the US. Many of those are conversions made from existing cars such as Geo Metros, Ford Escorts, Volkswagen Rabbits, Hondas and trucks like the Chevy S-10 and Ford Ranger. The others are purpose-built vehicles built in small quantities by several companies throughout the world.
Advantages : There are several unique advantages to driving an EV.
No exhaust or emissions test
No tune ups
No more messy oil and antifreeze changes
Totally silent operation
Costs 60%-75% less to operate.
Puts the fun back into commuting.
Most EVs on the road today are conversions built by hobbyists and small companies like Electric Vehicle Systems, Electro Automotive and others. Technology improvements have given the hobbyist a choice of components to build a conversion that is comparable in performance to today's gasoline cars. Larger Companies such as Solectria and AC Propulsion and Wilde Evolutions continue to push the envelope with their record breaking EVs. The Solectria Sunrise recently won the Tour de Sol with a range of 373 miles. The founder of AC Propulsion, who contributed to the development of the GM Impact, drove his AC-powered Honda Civic and hybrid trailer across the U.S. in only 4 days. Roderick of Wilde Evolutions has a Mazda RX-7 EV that beats the Dodge Viper in the quarter mile.
Electric busses are also proving to be a cleaner means of transportation particularly in cities where smog is a constant health hazard. The city of Santa Barbara has one of the largest fleets of electric busses in the U.S. with 14 in service. The busses require minimal maintenance, and most importantly, reduce the amount of particulate matter that enters the atmosphere. Particulate matter is an emission from diesel exhaust that contains carcinogens and can irritate respiratory systems.
Other contributers of air pollution, particularly in the suburbs, are lawnmowers. Although many people consider electric mowers with cords a nuisance there are new cordless mowers available from Black & Decker, Ryobi, and Toro that are more powerful and convenient. Simply plug the mower into a household outlet and it will be fully charged when it's time to mow. No more gas or smelly exhaust to worry about. Electric assisted bicycles are also becoming popular with commuters and kits are now available from Electric Vehicle Systems.
Of course in an age where EVs silently roam the streets, an infrastructure with convenient charge stations and proper power distribution will need to be developed. This is already happening in California and in Arizona where there are more EVs on the road.
As we enter the next century the EV will become a predominant people mover in our society. The final outcome of this transition towards EVs as a viable means of transportation is an environment that will be healthier for future generations to enjoy.
