ADVANTAGES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROMOBILITY

Abstract

An electric car is powered by one or more electric motors using electrical energy stored in batteries. Cars powered by internal combustion engines can be considered to have unlimited range because they can be refueled very quickly and almost anywhere. Electric cars initially have less autonomy than cars powered by fossil fuels due to the limitations imposed by their batteries. Due to the length of charging time and the lack of charging infrastructure in public places, many manufacturers have labeled the electric car as a "city car" suitable for daily city trips. Along with the aforementioned disadvantages, electric cars have several advantages over cars powered by conventional internal combustion engines. They do not emit CO2 and other harmful particles because they do not have an exhaust and do not depend on oil as a fuel, the price of which is increasing every day. Driving comfort is much greater due to their linear acceleration and quiet operation of the electric motor, and the ease of management is much greater due to the omission of the gearbox. The biggest obstacle to mass adoption of electric cars is their price. They are currently significantly more expensive than cars with conventional engines due to the high cost of their lithium-ion batteries. The price of batteries is expected to fall due to their mass production.
