The electric car revolution is now going global. Not just in ownership either, but in production and manufacturing as well. Mexico, the Caribbean, and several countries in South America are all working with electric vehicle manufacturers to get more electric cars on their roads and in many cases in their factories to help pump up their weakened economies.
Since taking office in 2009 one of President Obama's goals has been to fund and create alternative forms of energy and transportation in order to reduce our dependence on oil. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act billions of dollars were allocated to fund electric vehicle charging stations. Recently the Department of Energy (DOE) announced that they had completed the installation of 1,800 electric vehicle charging stations.
So what's New? Governments worldwide, including ours; auto manufacturers from Detroit to China and Israel; and more and more people every day are convinced a revolution in driving is occurring. You don't have to be a "green" enthusiastic bent on saving the environment from global warming to be interested in the wave of new electric cars, hybrids and "smart and clever cars" rolling off assembly lines in greater numbers each day.
Obama Dollars for Electric Cars Future...In an effort to reduce green house gas emissions, the Obama Administration has issued what they call a "down payment on electric cars and their batteries. A $2.4 billion grant program has renewed hope that the U.S. won't lag behind foreign competitors in seizing the opportunity to lead the world in clever electric vehicle sales and smart electric car technology.
In line with the state's movement to spread the use and the utilization of environmental-friendly vehicles that do not emit hazardous gas and chemicals, and their goal to promote sustainability and fuel-efficiency in the automotive market, the state has offered specific incentives to electronic vehicle (EV) drivers and users in order to encourage the public to convert from their conventional gas-run cars to electronic cars.
Green designs or green cars are vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles, fuel cell automobiles, and cars that move on E85 ethanol.As part of his advocacy to help protect the environment. President Barrack Obama urges the government to start buying green designs or electric vehicles so that by the year 2015, there will be around 1 million electric vehicles driven around.
As news reports continue to surface concerning the myriad of microscopic yet optimistic electric vehicle startup companies, the entire automobile industry appears to be on fire. Still, despite all the hype, it isn't easy for us to compare today's 21st century risk takers to industry icons such as the fantastic Ford or the Dodge brothers. These original pioneers of the automobile industry sold more than a car – they sold a dream.
Starting in 2016, new legislation goes into effect requiring cars to be more fuel efficient and much friendlier to the environment. Every Smart car meets these regulations five years ahead of time. The new laws that go into effect in 2016 give manufacturers with cars like the impressive smart electric car a definite advantage over other companies and a strategic advantage for the new fuel efficiency regulations (CAFÉ) and the restrictive antipollution laws.
