S-Curve Insight into the Electric Automobile Industry Introduction Many technological improvements have been made to vehicles to reduce their environmental impact. Some of these advances have been imposed by environmental legislation, others have been incentivized by commercial pressure to improve energy efficiency and limit our dependence on fossil fuel. Greening the transportation sector is thus important for meeting global emissions reduction targets. One innovative technology to achieve a green transportation sector is radically changing the design and components from fossil fuel based internal combustion cars to electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. This technology shift will lead to emergence of new technologies that†¦show more content†¦This race was accelerated by the new proposed model of better place for battery swapping. The new Leaf the first EV vehicle is schedule to be released in December 2010. While companies raced for dominating the electric vehicle technology, they realized that this market is highly shaped by many external factors. As result, companies like Toyota decided to take incremental steps toward electrification through the introduction of the first hybrid electric vehicle Prius in 2004. Prius was well received by customers and gave Toyota an edge over its competitors. The Prius however used an old battery technology based on Nickel Cadmium NiCa. General Motors later developed a better battery that uses the lithium ion technology (with the help of A123 company) in its first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle the Chevy Volt which is expected to be official launched by the end 2010. External Factors Controlling the EV markets Electric vehicle market is highly shaped by the external factors controlling this market. Some of the major external factors impeding the diffusion of EV to markets are: 1- Incompetent battery technology 2- Carbon intensive grid electricity 3- Immature renewable energy techology 4- Safety Issues – (for example cars with lithium ion batteries are not allowed to be shipped by air) 5- Long battery charging hours ( in the US 6 hours, in EUShow MoreRelatedThere Was Highly Statistical Significant Difference Between1014 Words   |  5 Pagessignificant in prediction of EV with sensitivity 70% and specificity 86.2% , platelet count at cutoff less than 99000/mm3 is significant in prediction of EV with sensitivity 87.5% and specificity 55%. ,platelet count/spleen diameter ratio (PC/SD) at cutoff cutoff less than 919.6 is significant in prediction of EV with sensitivity 57.5% and specificity 95%. ,Aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) at cutoff cutoff greater than 1.14 is significant in prediction of EV with sensitivity 68Read MoreUse Of Excitonic Absorption And Its Effect On The Environment958 Words   |  4 PagesIn our previous study [1], bandgaps of the title perovskites were roughly determined by extrapolating their absorption edges to the photon-energy axis, yielding 1.50 eV (n = ï‚ ¥), 1.91 eV (n = 4), 2.03 eV (n = 3), 2.17 eV (n = 2), and 2.43 eV (n = 1), respectively. However, the presence of excitonic absorption slightly below the fundamental band edge caused some uncertainty in the bandgap estimation of each compound. This effect could be most serious for the bulk perovskite (n = ï‚ ¥) because the excitonRead MoreChemical Characteristics Of Otfts With Plasma Treatment865 Words   |  4 Pagesa mobility, an on/off current ratio (Ion/Ioff), Vt, and low subthreshold slope (S) of 0.23 cm2 V-1 S-1, 9.8 Ãâ€" 105, −1.63 V, and of 0.16 mV dec-1 (Table 2). To gain a better understanding of AP plasma treatment on APS affecting their electrical performance, the contact resistance at the BC electrodes for pentacene OTFTs were extracted using the transmission line method [44].
