Study on the Development and Problems Faced in Electric Vehicles

Abstract

In vehicles, zero-emission production and wheels propelled with their own battery energy is possible only through electric vehicles. The long-term maintenance cost is very low as well as the lower center of gravity gives better cornering and turning stability. These advantages have influenced and have made electric vehicles as a new generation transport both in India and internationally in the automobile engineering sector. From the time EVs came into picture, there have been a lot of modifications in their design and some major components like battery pack and motor. In spite of these advancements and advantages, EVs are still not much popular in the automobile market, if we look at their growth, there is an increase but it is still less as compared to S.I and C.I engine automobiles. If we look at the reason behind that, there are some major setbacks in EVs like charging time, mileage, support of electrical components like headlights and air conditioners while driving. It’s very essential to look at the issues in EVs and their causes and to find out the ways how to overcome them with few modifications keeping the pocket friendly cost in mind. A number of companies all around the globe are rigorously working on improving the performance of EVs, India is also actively participating in promoting and providing a better platform for EVs. As everyone knows those EVs are the future of automobiles and hence their development is a necessity. So, it will be very intriguing to see the future of EVs in India and around the globe.
