Background An electric vehicle, or EV, utilizes one or more electric or traction motors or propulsion. Having emerged in the mid-19th century, the first EVs have soon been replaced by internal combustion engines (Ehsani, Gao, Longo, & Ebrahimi, 2018). In the 21st century, EVs have seen a resurgence and the public’s growing support due to technological advancements and concerns for the health of the planet. In 2018, global sales reached 1.26 million units – a 70% increase from the previous year engines (Ehsani et al., 2018). Environmental challenges have been the main rationale behind creating alternatives to traditional engines (Ehsani et al., 2018). On the market for green transportation technology, EVs compete with hybrid electric vehicles, HEV, that combine a conventional combustion engine with an electric compulsion system and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Some of the most prominent HEV models on the market include Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, and Ford Fusion Hybrid (Ehsani et al., 2018). Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles only went commercial in 2015 with the launch of the Toyota Mirai (Ehsani et al., 2018). As compared to their conventional counterparts, EVs are more energy efficient. Energy efficiency is understood as the amount of energy derived from the fuel source that can be converted into actual energy for powering a vehicle. In this regard, EVs were found to be superior to gas-powered vehicles. Moreover, EVs are not only smooth, high-performance rides, but also require less maintenance than conventional internal combustion vehicles (Green, Skerlos, & Winebrake, 2014). EVs give the driver full control due to their quick reaction and enhanced responsiveness. The main objective of this project is to examine the claimed benefits of the EV technology and troubleshoot it for possible weaknesses. Proposed Project Some of the important statistics on the potential benefits of EVs include energy efficiency and environmental impact. First, for gas-powered vehicles, the conversion rate is at 17-21%. AEV batteries, on the other hand, are able to convert up to 62% of energy into movement (Wu, Freese, Cabrera, & Kitch, 2015). Another undeniable advantage is reduced usage of fuel, which equals decreased gas emission. Since EVs utilize rechargeable batteries, they do not generate any tailpipe emissions that were found to be the primary source of pollution in many countries such as the US (Ehsani et al., 2018). The rechargeable battery means that all energy can be sourced within a single household, and often with the use of other green technologies like solar panel systems. Lastly, the owner of an EV can save a decent amount of money: while an electric vehicle can drive up to 100 miles using 25-40 kWh of energy ($1), a gas-powered car will require about four gallons for the same distance (Wu et al., 2015). However, there is evidence that the batteries can emit toxic fumes, which may hurt both the environment and owners’ health (Wu et al., 2015). Currently, many customers concerned with their environmental footprint struggle to choose between fully electric vehicles and hybrids. Mild, series, and plug-in hybrids vary in price but are still less costly than any EV, whic
