Topic: Electric Cars - The future ? (Read 3675 times)
Fuel and resources are not without borders, so solar energy helps.
Electric is stupid except for certain specific applications. Why? Something has to make the electricity. Skip the electricity and go directly to the use of whatever makes the electricity. Diesel is best.
Electric cars are a great innovation, particularly in the fight against ecosystem pollution and promoting climate action. However, the adaptation process is slow, especially in African countries, due to several limiting factors, including electricity availability.
In many African countries, accessing reliable electricity is still a significant challenge. Providing electricity to communities is a priority, and introducing electric cars that require charging infrastructure is a secondary concern. Unless solar mini-grid or micro-grid systems are developed to charge these vehicles, they may not be practical for rural or semi-urban areas.
Furthermore, the high cost of electric cars and their charging infrastructure may be prohibitive for many people. I think the adoption rate will be slow in developing countries.
In the US, I've seen electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads, but some people are sceptical about buying them due to concerns about battery life and charging time. The technology is still evolving, and improvements are being made to address these concerns.
If electric cars are designed with regional considerations in mind and have improved battery life and charging infrastructure, I would consider purchasing one. However, for now, I'm hesitant due to the potential burden of finding charging stations and dealing with limited battery life.

I settled on a hybrid 46-50 miles to the gallon which is better than the 28-32 my older gas car was getting.
Whats nice is it gets close to 600 miles on a tank of gas.
The big problem with electric vehicles is that batteries and accumulators are made from radioactive, nuclear elements and we still don't have a solution to dispose of batteries without polluting the environment.
Where in the hell did you get that information from? ? ?There is NO radioactive elements used in either the batteries or capacitors (what you called accumulators). Yes the batteries are made from rare metals such as Lithium & Cobalt etc. but none of them are radioisotopes. The batteries are also VERY recyclable. Capacitors use more common materials and again - not radioactive.
Electric car we be of a best interest to us especially Nigeria, were our leaders has made fuel price unbearable and very expensive. Having it surplus in our country we help kill the value of petroleum products, automatically it price we drop, therefore life we be more better for everyone.
It is doubtful whether such a car will go far, given that there are very few places where you can charge its battery.
Electric cars are really a great invention for us to use in the future because the world's oil is also limited and will run out at some point. But make no mistake, the invention of electric cars was to fight pollution and help prevent global warming .
The big problem with electric vehicles is that batteries and accumulators are made from radioactive, nuclear elements and we still don't have a solution to dispose of batteries without polluting the environment. So far we have no solution for radioactive waste and this is the main cause of climate change but politicians cover this up and blame other things to distract people. So it can be said that electric cars are not as perfect and environmentally friendly as we think, but it will be necessary for the future because oil supplies are limited .
Yeah, recycling of batteries is issue, but for avarage person bigger issue is charging batteries. Distance that you can go with full battery is still very limited, compared with what you can do with full tank of petrol or diesel. Electric vehicles is perfect for short trips aroiund the city, but longer trips is much more complicated. Especially if you live in place with cold winter, what makes battery to consume more energy. After all, you will want to turn on heating in your car if you don't want to get frozen and it will consume significant part of your battery.The big problem with electric vehicles is that batteries and accumulators are made from radioactive, nuclear elements and we still don't have a solution to dispose of batteries without polluting the environment.

Network of charging points is still very limited, compared with how many petrol stations we have. If you're going to longer trip, you have to plan it carefuly where you can charge your battery. And I'm not even talking about how much time it takes to full recharge your battery. It's not few minutes like to refill your fuel tank with petrol
The Edwin Gray idea is simple. Wind the stator and the armature with windings that can withstand 200,000 volts. Then, as the armature arms pass the stator, shoot a spark through the windings. The spark must be high voltage and low amperage. Do it so that there is a magnetic repulsion between the armature and stator. This repulsion is strong because of the high voltage... way stronger than if it were a low voltage. What you get is a tremendous surge of energy off the same or lesser amount of electricity.

In regards to the disposition of batteries and it's possibility of pollution, the best ways to solve those environmental issues is through recycling and repurposing, a process which is recently tagged as Waste to Wealth.
Through advanced recycling technologies such as hydrometallurgy where the metals are extracted from the recycled materials or wastes using water based solutions like dissolving those wastes into water using acids and other chemicals and then separating and purifying them.
These are some of the ways we can keep our climate clean and still ensure our electric cars replaced the fossil fuels.

Electric Cars - The future ?
They could be if they were powered by Edwin V. Gray motors... at times several percent over unity. They are quite easy to understand. Diesels only get about 34% max... nowhere near 100% or more.

Electric cars biggest hurdles
...............
Electric cars biggest hurdles is what to do with the mountain of obsolete batteries in the coming years, a Environmental disaster................
The future is a hybrid with small internal compustion engine, small batterie and way less weight than a EV.
Electric cars are undeniably a big part of the future of transportation, but their full transition is still unfolding. Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have been increasing rapidly. In 2023, global sales nearly reached 14 million units, representing 18% of all car sales, with regions like China and Europe leading the way. However, their widespread adoption depends on several key factors.
One of the biggest hurdles is making EVs more affordable. While prices are dropping, especially in China, EVs still tend to be more expensive than traditional gasoline cars in many markets.
As competition grows and more manufacturers enter the space, prices are expected to become more competitive, but it will take time for them to match those of conventional vehicles.
Another challenge is the charging infrastructure. While it's growing, the availability of charging stations still lags behind the rising number of EVs, especially in emerging markets. Additionally, the range of EVs—how far they can travel on a single charge—is improving, but "range anxiety" remains a concern for many potential buyers.
There’s also a strong push from governments worldwide to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. Policies such as tax credits, subsidies, and emissions regulations are all helping to boost EV sales
IEA. By 2030, EVs could make up 40% of new car sales, and by 2040, this number might reach nearly 100%, depending on how quickly the infrastructure and technologies evolve.
What do you think about the challenges and opportunities in the growth of electric cars? Do you believe the transition will happen faster than expected?

Electric energy will only beat out internal combustion if it is in a specific way. This was done by Edwin Gray years ago. It's called the, "Pulsed capacitor discharge electric engine ," and it is patented - https://patents.google.com/patent/US3890548A/en.
Click this search engine link - https://search.entireweb.com/search?q=edwin+gray+electric+motor - for a bunch of sites talking about Edwin Gray. There are even some Youtube videos. There are many reports of close to 100% efficiency, and a few that claim over 100%.

I'm thinking about buying an electric car. I'm glad that I've found this thread and I appreciate that you shared your experiences and thoughts, but how should I choose a vehicle? Are there any things I should take into account?
Sincerely I would prefer an electric car, considering the high cost of petrol mostly in our country Nigeria,
But to our country Nigeria I don't really think the electric car might work, except I don't know if the electric car might be powered by solar energy using sunlight, because we don't trust NEPA here,

Alot of the major car manufacturers are turning their sights on electric and hybrid cars and it seems it's only a matter of time before petrol and diesel cars are gone the way of the dodo. Tesla unveiled an impressive truck for transporting goods. Alot of governments and car manufacturers seem to be getting on board with going green for all the obvious reasons but how soon do you predict before electric is the norm in transportation ?
Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one ? What are your reasons for buying it ?
Electric car as how? Will it charged from the sun as solar or generator? If it is solar then as you buy the sun or the sun will be charging the battery then you don't have to make extra expenses to charge you car battery or whatever but if it is electronic power that will be use to charge the car battery then I prefer the gas or the fuel car because at that stage, power generator will be over cost to afford. Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one ? What are your reasons for buying it ?
And me, I prefer the electric car that can fly on the air for like 5-7 hour on the air with very high velocity. So that there will no traffic on the air and the land road because most people would fly over whenever there is traffic.
