After nearly a century of dominance by internal combustion engines (ICE) in the private transportation sector, electric vehicles (EV) are ready to run the show now. The revolution from conventional gasoline-powered vehicles to EVs have been slow but steady. As environmental awareness is growing and the efficiency and the emission standards are tightening, established automakers have already committed to offering a wide range of pure electric cars in the future. ‘The future is electric’ is no more a catchphrase but has become a reality. Besides its eco-friendliness, with its cost-effective running and maintenance costs, and features such as instant torque, EVs are the prospected way for the world to travel.
The rolling out of charging infrastructure has been a major barrier toward making EVs a natural part of the transportation ecosystem. While comparing with ICE, the inconvenience for long-distance travel has been a major downside for EVs, due to their range-per-charge and charging time requirements. A few companies have already made some strides on this regard by rolling out supercharging stations and portable charging solutions. Installation of a home charging station has also become a quick and reliable process today. Besides, scientists are spending considerable effort on the battery technology to reduce their charging time and use of rare-earth metals, and to improve their lifetime degradability and recyclability. To keep up with the growing demands of the industry, companies have also started to invest significantly in future-proofed EV charging software. Other major advancements are going on concerning the infrastructure and features such as connectivity, safety, information, and in-car entertainment. Autonomous driving is another sphere where EVs could make a significant leap. As the big players are plunging millions into the EV market, the prices are certainly going to fall, and the choices are going to get diverse.
At this juncture, there are a variety of EV solutions available in themarket that caters to different needs of automakers and consumers.
