rising fuel costs usher in a new era of electric vehicles
With current lithium ion battery technology,[url=http://giuseppezanottimenssneakers.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers men- New Fall/Winter 2013 Collection[/b][/url], the Volt can travel about 40 miles before gasoline is needed to power the electric motor. The vehicle can be charged for about $1.50 a day or less. By comparison, the Nissan Leaf won't use any gasoline, and the Japanese automaker says it can go 100 miles on a single charge.
But for many consumers, electric vehicles are still too pricey. The Volt is selling for $41,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutlet.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets Duvetica Online Duvetica Outlet Duvetica Sale Duvetica Vest Duvetica Coat Duvetica Kappa[/b][/url],000, but federal and state tax credits in Maryland knock off about $10,[url=http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/][b]http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/[/b][/url],000. The Nissan Leaf retails for about $33,[url=http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/][b]Duvetica Piumini Italia Outlet Shop Duvetica Down Jackets Uomo[/b][/url],000 before the same tax credits.
And some have questioned the extent of the environmental benefits of electric vehicles. In its annual rankings of "green" vehicles, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy rated the Volt 13th in environmental impact because it is heavy and incorporates a gasoline motor. A natural gas-powered Honda Civic and the all-electric Nissan Leaf came in first and second,[url=http://discountsoccercleatsonline.webmium.com/][b]http://discountsoccercleatsonline.webmium.com/[/b][/url], respectively. Hybrids and highly efficient gasoline-powered cars rounded out the list.
In the future, auto manufacturers are likely to offer different electric vehicle options and combinations. Consumers can expect a broader range of cars and trucks that feature plug-in electricity options, fuel cells and hybrids that use variations of combustion engine, battery and electric technology.
And prices are expected to drop as manufacturing supply increases to meet consumer demand. Battery costs alone are expected to plummet 70 percent in two to three years. There had been only two manufacturers that produced electric vehicle batteries in the United States, but now the federal government is subsidizing up to 30 companies to make batteries.
"There has been robust investment in a whole range of technologies that are now converging," said Brian Wynne, president of the Electric Drive Transportation Association. "The question is: How rapidly can we stand up a supply chain and put electric vehicles on the market?"
The next big step involves outfitting cities, suburbs and even parking garages with convenient electricity stations for vehicle battery charging.
"The backbone is a solid, stable grid,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/][b]Roger Vivier Boots Outlet[/b][/url]," said Larry Nitz, executive director of hybrid and electric power-train engineering at General Motors. Department of Energy has made millions of dollars in subsidies available to electric-charger manufacturers and companies that want to install charging stations and distribute high-speed chargers across the country for consumers to use with electric vehicles.
So far only a handful exist in Maryland,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutletonline.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottioutletonline.webmium.com/[/b][/url], and the District of Columbia has about a dozen public charging stations. As the infrastructure is built out, industry experts say, energy costs for powering the vehicles will drop.
BGE is starting to roll out "smart meter" technology,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets online[/b][/url], which will enable homeowners and BGE to better use technology to track and calibrate electricity usage at people's homes and company officials say those meters could help customers track electric-vehicle energy needs as well. Officials also are considering special rates for charging cars.
The company has its own electric and hybrid vehicles that it is testing for fleet use and to better understand how the cars use electricity. BGE officials also say they have been coordinating with electric-charger manufacturers.
John Murach,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/][b]http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], BGE's director of electric vehicle planning,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada outlet[/b][/url], said the company expects consumers to adopt electric vehicles quickly in the coming years, and company officials believe the utility has the capacity in its electric grid to support the increased demand.
"There is significant capacity in the off-peak hours that would support full deployment of electric vehicles," Murach said.
Maryland ranks 10th among states with the highest deployment of gasoline-electric hybrids among consumers, according to the Center for Automotive Research. More than 20,000 hybrid vehicles were on the road in Maryland at the end of 2009, according to the center's most recent data.
By next year, the center estimates, nearly 2,000 electric vehicles will be on the road in Maryland. And by 2015,[url=http://woolrichjacketstore.blogspot.com/][b]http://woolrichjacketstore.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], that number could grow to 12,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]discount roger vivier shoes for sale[/b][/url],000 out of millions of vehicles on the road nationwide. branch of the United Kingdom-based company two years ago and this year acquired its European assets. Hundreds of its zero-emission electric trucks are on the road. One of its biggest customers is Frito-Lay, which uses the Smith trucks to deliver chips and other food products.
Hansel figures that the medium-duty electric trucks his company makes in the United States could grow to account for half of that truck market in 10 years,[url=http://parajumpersjacketsstores.blogspot.com/][b]parajumpers jackets store[/b][/url]. His company won a $32 million grant last year from the Department of Energy to build a 510-vehicle demonstration fleet for commercial customers.
"We really feel that the market is at a tipping point," Hansel said.
GM's new plant to be built in White Marsh,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada[/b][/url], next to its Allison Transmission plant, will produce electric motors for models that have yet to be unveiled, Nitz said. The plant will add about 100 jobs,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutlet.olimx.com/][b]http://duveticajacketsoutlet.olimx.com/[/b][/url], a modest turnaround for GM's presence in the Baltimore area after years of contractions.
Thanks to significant advances in computing technology for automobiles over just the past decade, the automaker is able to use electric and gasoline motors together and more efficiently. That feature is expected to appeal to consumers long accustomed to putting gas in the tank.
