 Electric Vehicles CO2 emission reduction has been a great concern of many people recently. Therefore, many countries have taken a tough decision to reduce the CO2 emission. So that the use of renewable energy sources has been very popular. In addition, an electric vehicle is also one of the important drivers used to reduce the CO2. In this presentation, electric vehicles will be briefly introduced. Then Battery technologies and charging technologies are discussed. Later on, challenges and barriers to wide adoption of electric vehicles are highlighted. Furthermore, impact of electric vehicles on electric power grid is emphasized. The presentation is finalized by giving some thoughts on the future of electric vehicles. URL : https://www.ilhamicolak.org/ |
