We are thinking of buying an electric car and have been reading a website specializing in electric cars but do not know what to do.

Think that electric cars have a future?

[jonydec]

I think the vehicle upcoming will be nonexistent as far as efficiency goes. Gradually a car will be an equipment to go to from factor A to factor B. Nobody will health care how a car appears to be or seems as long as it operates low-priced, silently and has a lot of relaxation content. Even today a lot of individuals do not proper value efficiency or the excitement of driving. As each technology develops principles seem to change, now so many individuals fear about their as well as impact, and keeping the worlds environment that many feel older vehicles should be mashed. The govt seems to acknowledge, so there will be an even bigger force for energy source later on. Everyone I discuss to confirms.

The problem I have with electric cars isn't the concept of having an electric car, but how it will affect the used auto market. Currently electric cars are sold at a premium and I feel like the tax incentives offered by the government are seen by the manufacturers as a bonus and a reason to mark up the price of the vehicle and as such they are currently over priced. In addition with the battery making up a large percentage of the cost of a car (much like a transmission on a CE vehicle) replacing it is cost prohibitive once the car reaches a certain age (same as a transmission). So what I fear is that people will drive these until the battery is nearly done (approx 7-10 years) and unload it on the used market. We will likely see cars with only a percentage of the capacity and that requires a full charge to run because he battery is worn out. Potentially you could end up buying a used electric with a range of 5 miles and a battery that costs 9,000 dollars to replace if you take into account improving technology will keep the price flat, so no discounted batteries for you if you use OEM.

Today if you shop around and are particular you can find a decent car for a little over 2 grand from a private party, and that car will likely last you 2-5 years if you buy a domestic car, longer for imports depending on make. Electric cars however will likely start much higher from private owners looking to recoup their money and for those offered by used car dealers they'll be forced to replace the battery adding to the expense of the vehicle. Essentially electric cars are poised to trash the used market.

Actually, I think scientists are leaning more towards Hydrogen-powered cars. I saw it on the news the other day. Hydrogen cars would use well, hydrogen obviously as their fuel. The exhaust would be water, so Hydrogen cars would benefit the environment. They wouldn't pollute the enviornment with smoke or any of those other nasty chemicals. I think electric cars would be too expensive to manufacture anyway. Even though Hydro cars will be quite expensive too.

Technology is changing day by day.
Nobody can guess what is next.

The government seems to recognize, so there will be an even larger power for power resource later on. Everyone I talk about to verifies.

I think it will be a good idea. Electric cars are the most cost effective form of transportation. They are having a high performance vehicles that will definitely stand as a new challenge in the future.

Hello Friends,

I think electric cars hane no more future, because if you want to cover more distance area then it is not perfect for this purpose, due to its battery backup. but it is useful for small distance area.

I think Electric Cars have a good future because it causes less environmental pollution and less fuel consumption and looks soundless.

Most of the running cost of an electric vehicle can be attributed to the maintenance of the battery pack, and its eventual replacement, because an electric vehicle has only around 5 moving parts in its motor, compared to a gasoline car that has hundreds of parts in its internal combustion engine. Electric cars have expensive batteries that must be replaced but otherwise incur very low maintenance costs, particularly in the case of current lithium-based designs.
To calculate the cost per kilometer of an electric vehicle it is therefore necessary to assign a monetary value to the wear incurred on the battery. This can be difficult because the battery will have a slightly lower capacity each time it is charged; it is at the end of its life when the owner decides its performance is no longer acceptable. Even then an 'end of life' battery is not completely worthless as it can be re-purposed, recycled or used as a spare.

Electric cars have some future. Government is also giving some extra efforts on the use of electric vehicles, because it reduces the cause of air pollution as well as reduces the Global warming effects. Though electric cars are a little costlier than non electric vehicles but they are more environment friendly and Government also forces to go for electric vehicles than non electric.
