It's been said that the electric car will not return to the market. Engineers have failed to develop a good running electric car capable of meeting today's driving standards. Also they have failed to properly sell the right amount of electric cars to get it goin'. Is there more to the death of the electric car than we think?


Answer
All those Nissan dealers will be upset when they hear about this since they all sell an all electric car called the Nissan Leaf. Also Ford is just introducing the Focus Electric this fall.

You are misinformed. The electric car, although not exactly taking the world by storm, is far from dead, in fact it's on the increase.

Is Hybrid Car and Electric Cars are really going to be Future as Success Story?







Electric cars and hybrid cars are need by us, but can they compete today's cars like in Speed, Power, Comfort, Looks?


Answer
That's the whole point of hybrids and electrics. It's easy to make an electric vehicles fast and powerful, just difficult for it to have range. The first cars to reach 60mph were electric cars. You could easily put in a thousand horsepower electric motor into a car but the batteries would be depleted very quickly. We've been able to make gas cars with 50mpg plus back in 1982 which is still better than what the modern hybrids get but they lacked speed and power, the addition of an electric motor making the efficient cars hybrids is what gives the power and performance that the consumer wants.

We really don't need hybrids and electric cars. We don't even need so many cars. If we were willing to accept the lackluster performance of the 1982 econoboxes then why enhance the performance with an electric motor? If we want the flexibility to change the fuel source from fossil to something clean like solar by using electric vehicles then why don't we just synthesize gasoline from CO2 and H2O with solar power? Synthesized fuels could even be carbon negative whilst an electric vehicle with solar generated electricity is at best carbon neutral

Ultimately, Hybrid and electric will be seen for what they are, marketing to create an additional market niche for new cars just like model years, tail fins, station wagons, minivans, SUV's and Flex Fuel cars. Measures that would actually make a difference such as changing how we make the gasoline just doesn't make the auto manufacturers any money.
