Electric Vehicles “The I. C. E. age is over. ”

What is an Electric Vehicle? Any vehicle that uses an electric motor for propulsion.

How does an EV work? The concept is very simple.

The possible near future…. In the year 2003 the California government is planning to pass the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate. By this mandate, all automakers in the area must actively develop at least one type of EV, or pay into a fund for companies who do want to develop ZEVs.

Some EVs have extra energy…. Some EVs, such as hybrid fuel cell, solar, and other energy producing designs, produce more energy than they need. For example, a solar powered car sitting in a parking lot all day. Battery EVs charge at night during off peak hours when electricity is cheaper. Which means that during the day, their energy is worth more than they paid for it.

The Idea…. What if EVs with extra, or cheaper, power could feed that power back into the grid during peak periods while the car is parked? With enough EVs you could produce are large amount of electricity to supply to the grid, which would cut down on brown outs and such. To take it one step further, you could sell the electricity to the power utility during the day when they need it for more money than you paid for it the night before.

The Vision…. The benefit from a life time of supplying electricity to the grid has the potential to exceed the cost of the battery. What if the electric utility pays for and owns the battery pack, and gives you unlimited free use of it and free electricity for charging? Suddenly the cost of travelling becomes almost zero.

The Potential…. Imagine that all the cars in the US were some form of electric producing EV. That’s 146 million vehicles. Each EV provides about 0. 01 - 0. 02 MW of power. The US generates about 800, 000 MW of power. You would only need 40 million EVs to supply enough electricity to power the entire US. Cars are parked 90% of the time. With this amount of portable, available energy, power plants would operate much more efficiently. You would produce much less emissions with no ICEVs.
