Electric Car Manual
Instruction Manual for an Electric Car

Electric Car Charging (Silicon Prairies Social, 2012)

For this project, I intend to write an instruction manual for an electric car. This seems like an interesting topic because environmental issues are becoming more noticeable all the time and it seems that our society will have to accelerate its response to these issues. It is likely that part of the response will include the mass production of electric vehicles at some point in the future. Although this technology is similar to the motor vehicles that are on the road today, there are many differences that drivers will have to get used to. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to document how the electric car will work and how it will differ from existing vehicles that run on fossil fuels.

The most obvious difference is that the vehicles are powered by different fuel sources and require…...

McKibben and Electric cars

Alternate Vehicle (AV)

Are electric cars a good solution to oil consumption in the United States?

Electric cars are the contemporary technology that auto-industry has come up with in order to mitigate higher carbon emissions and pollution issues. It is estimated by researchers and practitioners alike that electric cars will play an important role in restricting the use of imported oil in the U.S. The hybrid and plug-in-hybrid cars can significantly reduce the dependence of vehicles on oil. Since oil production has been even riskier in recent months due to some incidents of spillover at deep sea, the new technology of electric cars is being heavily invested in by the auto makers.

Thesis Statement: With current emphasis on reducing oil dependence of the U.S. And reducing the vehicle-generated emissions, the role of electric cars and other alternative…...

All of these factors have led to forecasts of between 100 to 120 new models being produces industry-wide in 2013 as the industry supply chain can now manage this run rate and diversity of models (Egbue, Long, 2012). Aggregating together the sources of data available from an analysis of the electric vehicle supply chain, it is reasonable to project that regular hybrids will growth from just under 300,000 units in 2013 to 500,000 by 2015 (Egbue, Long, 2012) (Weiss, Patel, Junginger, et.al., 2012). At 522K units, hybrids will be 55% of the total market size, which will be 900,000 total units. The plug-in models are expected to generate 200K units in 2015, and the balance in high-end battery-based electric vehicles including the Chevy Volt (Weiss, Patel, Junginger, et.al., 2012). esearch indicates that the combining of hybrid and battery-based technologies could be the fastest-growing segment of all, attaining a 39% compound…...

It also requires us to be involved in that region of the world in very costly ways that would not matter but for our dependence on Middle Eastern oil. We are now at the point where the next generation of Americans or the one immediately after the next generation will experience the complete depletion of the world's available oil reserves.
Even before the oil finally runs out, its price will increase so substantially because of the economic laws of supply and demand that it will bankrupt this country to remain dependent on foreign oil. Even now, our economy is already tied to oil in ways that are damaging to our welfare and some of the nations to whom we pay billions of dollars annually may actually support extremist Jihadist terrorists who are planning what they believe will be the destruction of the way of life in the United States and…...

The Electric evolution - Shaping a Sustainable Future

Introduction

In recent years, the automotive industry has seen a significant shift towards sustainability and environmental consciousness, and one of the most prominent developments in this regard is the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Pro electric cars, also known as electric vehicles (EVs), have gained immense popularity due to their numerous environmental and economic benefits.

Unlike traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, electric cars are powered by electricity stored in a battery, which eliminates the need for fossil fuels and reduces harmful emissions that contribute to air pollution and climate change. This makes electric cars a cleaner and greener alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles, aligning with the global push towards reducing carbon emissions and combating the effects of climate change.

Furthermore, electric cars are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional vehicles, converting a higher percentage of energy from the grid into usable power for the vehicle. This not only…...

Nikola What deal has Nikola made with GM to build electric trucks? 
Nikola and GM's deal allows GM to work with Nikola (an electric-truck startup) to develop and manufacture new models. GM, an experienced and already established traditional automaker, will provide electric batteries and fuel cells for Nikola's trucks, including the future planned Badger pickup truck. According to the deal, GM will receive a $2 billion worth of stock and a seat on Nikola's board (Colias, 2020). 
What are the advantages of having a strategic alliance with GM in terms of environmental impact?
First, it is a fact that GM has the technology and the manufacturing scale required to comfortably produce and sustain the auto market, something that the current electronic companies lack. This deal allows GM to put into use its industries and for Nikola to not necessarily have to put have another auto manufacturing industry, therefore, ensuring the environment is not further…...

How Do Gas-Powered Cars Affect the Environment?According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), gas-powered cars are one of the most significant sources of emissions that contribute to global warming in the United States. In the United States alone, transportation-related emissions are responsible for 29% of greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest contributing sector to climate change (Carbon Pollution from Transportation). Despite the development of electric vehicles, hybrid cars, and the development of more fuel-efficient vehicles, the transportation sectors contribution to global warming increased more than any other sector from 1990 to 2019 (Carbon Pollution from Transportation).Car use can also have significant impacts upon the general infrastructure of the nation, requiring the building of major highways that can result in noise pollution and disruption of natural habitats. The need for adequate parking and driving areas can also result in the reduction of walkable structures and places for people to enjoy…...

Although a number of different definitions have been advanced over the years, a useful definition in an organization context states that “strategy determines the direction and scope of an organization over the long term, and it should determine how resources should be configured to meet the needs of markets and stakeholders” (Three levels of strategy, 2018, para.…...

Electric and Self-Driving Cars
Both the electric car trend and the self-driving car initiative may be considered fads that in the long run are simply untenable. Autonomous cars present numerous safety obstacles that are currently not being addressed, and the electric car phenomenon presents numerous obstacles as well. Currently it is a niche market: increasing power to the electric car and making it equal to gas-powered vehicles is a substantial obstacle, and a solution—expanding the number of electric vehicle charge points—needs to become part of the infrastructural horizon. In the UK, this solution is already being applied, as Murray (2016) shows: charge points are set to outnumber petrol stations in the United Kingdom by 2020.

However, much of the rest of global society is affected by the autonomous car in only a marginal way: if they are ever allowed to proceed into the mass market it will be a different story. For…...

Bias Critique
Thackery, John. "ybrid autos REV up: but will SUV-addicted buyers opt for an environmentally friendly car that saves on gas but commands a premium price?" Electronic Business: Automotive Electronics. Oct 2002 v28 i10 pp. 64(5)

Even before reading the article, "ybrid autos REV up" an informed consumer of the media should know that quite often automobile and electronics magazines are highly favorable of the industries they chronicle. The industry is essentially their 'bread and butter' of such magazines -- i.e. without cars, fancy car gadgets, and car aficiandos, there would be no audiences for such segmented magazines. The credentials of John Thackery, the article's author, are not immediately obvious, but the article's title "ybrid autos REV up: but will SUV-addicted buyers opt for an environmentally friendly car that saves on gas but commands a premium price?" suggests a highly positive slant is being given to the vehicles, for in…...

However, the article does provide credible statistical evidence to suggest the car's popularity, noting "Toyota has sold a total of 100,000 of all types of HEVs worldwide in the last five years and boasts that it will crank out 300,000 HEVs annually by 2005, as more car buyers show a preference for lower emissions and better mileage." As further testimony to the likely future popularity of the cars it also notes as well that in addition to Toyota, Honda and Nissan have also begun to offer hybrid cars. Other automotive manufacturers plan to introduce electric cars in the next few years, including Ford, General Motors and Daimler Chrysler. All of these manufactures, incidentally, have linked advertisements to this article on the World Wide Web.

The intended audience of this article, however, is clearly more interested in the car's purported power than environmental impact. Although the article does quote a director of alternative power technologies at J.D. Power & Associates, Westlake Village, who notes "the total HEV industry could be as large as one-half-million units by 2007," instead the author is more keen to emphasizes that forward-thinking car makers are "building a new breed of HEVs with smaller sticker premiums and more modest emission-reduction and mileage-enhancement targets." Thackery gently mocks the Toyota Prius, for example, stating that the car "sells on its appeal as a statement of the driver's environmental piety," but the more revved up HEVs, of the future, which are incidentally are more likely to be made by American car manufacturers, "are more attuned to market realities in a country where gas guzzling is an accepted addiction. 'If you do the math, you can see that we can actually save significantly more fuel converting a 20-mpg vehicle into a hybrid than a 30-mpg vehicle, especially if it's a vehicle that sells in high volumes, not a niche vehicle,'" one GM executive is quoted as saying, in defense of GM's future, more modest emissions standards for its electronic vehicles, in contrast to the Toyota Prius.

Thus, the article overall presents solid and credible information about how hybrid cars work, and their burgeoning popularity. But this American car and electronic niche magazine, aimed at car and gadget aficionados rather than the average cost-conscious middle class American car consumer may be too quick to sneer at the petite and cost-conscious hybrids such as the Prius, and too quick to endorse the more mildly conservationist and conserving 'mild-HEVs' that American manufactures plan to make in the future. Although its information its solid, its tone must be regarded with a pinch of proverbial (electrically charged) salt.

Auto epair
Car repair is the process of diagnosing the car problem to identify the fault within the car. While the cars manufactured before 2000 requires special tools to be repaired, however, the computer technology has been increasingly used to diagnose and repair many newly manufactured cars. Before mechanics start the repairing of cars, they often quote the prices for customers before starting the repairing work. To repair the car, mechanic uses both electronic methods to gather data in order to replace the faulty materials in the vehicle. A mechanic diagnoses the car and identifies the problem within the car before starting the repairing work. There are two approaches used to diagnose a faulty car:
