Excerpt: The Mitsubishi i-MiEV (MiEV is an acronym for Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle) is a five-door hatchback electric car produced by Mitsubishi Motors, and is the electric version of the Mitsubishi i. The i-MiEV is also sold in Europe rebadged by PSA Peugeot Citroen (PSA) as the Peugeot iOn and Citroen C-Zero. The i-MiEV was launched for fleet customers in Japan in July 2009, and on April 1, 2010, for the wider public. International sales to Asia, Australia and Europe started in 2010, with further markers in 2011 including Central and South America. Fleet and retail customer deliveries in the U.S. and Canada began in December 2011. The American-only version, called "i," is larger than the Japanese version and has several additional features. According to the manufacturer, the i-MiEV all-electric range is 160 kilometres (100 mi) on the Japanese test cycle. The range for the 2012 model year American version is 62 miles (100 km) on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (US EPA) cycle. In November 2011 the Mitsubishi i ranked first in EPA's 2012 Annual Fuel Economy Guide, and became the most fuel efficient EPA certified vehicle in the U.S. for all fuels ever, until it was surpassed by the Honda Fit EV in June 2012. As of December 2012, more than 22,000 i-MiEV family vehicles have been sold worldwide. Europe is the leading market, with 5,017 Peugeot iOns, 4,977 Citroen C-Zeros and 4,244 Mitsubishi i MiEVs sold through...

Excerpt: The Nissan Leaf (also formatted "LEAF" as a backronym for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car) is a five-door hatchback electric car manufactured by Nissan and introduced in Japan and the United States in December 2010. The US Environmental Protection Agency official range for the 2013 model year Leaf is 121 km (75 mi) and rated the Leaf's combined fuel economy at 115 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (2.0 L/100 km). The 2013 Leaf has a range of 200 km (120 mi) on the New European Driving Cycle. Deliveries to retail customers began in the United States and Japan in December 2010, followed by various European countries and Canada in 2011, and as of February 2013, is available in 17 European countries, Australia and other international markets. The Leaf is the world's best selling highway-capable all-electric car ever, and global sales reached the 50,000 units sold milestone by mid February 2013. Worldwide sales are led by Japan with 22,000 units; the United States with 20,000 units; Europe with 7,000 units delivered; and the rest of the world with 1,000 units. European sales are led by Norway with more than 3,300 units sold through February 2013....

The volume is dedicated to the electric car. It examines the extent to which the electric car can contribute to sustainable transport development as part of a new mobility culture. The technical, cultural, political, social and aesthetic dimensions are considered. It will be shown how the general social framework has to change in order to make the electric car a success. This book is a translation of the original German edition "Das Elektroauto“ by “Marcus Keichel”, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden in 2013. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

If you're making the transition from Internal Combustion Engined cars to Electric Vehicles, this book will provide you with the background and knowledge on the Dynamics, Battery, Charging, Motors and Inverters, and Cooling and Heating. It covers, in varying degrees of detail, the BMW i3, GM's Bolt/Ampera-E, Hyundai's Ioniq and Kona, Jaguar I-Pace, Kia Soul, Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, Tesla S, X and 3, and VW e-Golf.

Do you want to switch to an electric vehicle?Did you know that electric cars were first developed in the 1830s?Do you want to save money and help protect the environment too? Have you heard about the incentives offered by the government to electric car buyers? This book provides an overview of electric vehicles (EVs) beginning with their invention and early development in the early 19th century and reasons why their production was put on hold until modern times. Next you will learn about the many current advances in electric vehicles and how their batteries and technology function, the best reasons to choose EVs, EV charging stations with the best apps, what smart charging is, types of EV batteries, autonomous vehicles, government incentives for EVs, cost of charging EVs, social impact of EV, circular economy of EV, overall comparison between EV and internal combustion engine cars, understand the innovative technologies available for charging EVs, solar charging stations, battery swapping stations, and the future of EV.

An essential introduction to the surprisingly long history of the electric car, from the early pioneers, through to the first commercially viable marques such as Tesla. After a century in the shadow of the internal combustion engine, the electric motor is making a seismic comeback. Battery-propelled vehicles in fact predate petrol and diesel engines; indeed, in the Edwardian era, electric vehicles could well have become the dominant form of transport. While limitations to their range and speed meant that fossil-fuelled cars rapidly left them behind, since the 1970s there have been several efforts to revive electric cars, and with recent carbon emissions commitments, offerings such as the Tesla Model 3 and Nissan Leaf have been well received. This fully illustrated introduction explains these developments, charting the most notable electric cars, from the eccentric Amitron and Zagato Zele to the now-mainstream models that are set to dominate the market, such as the BMW i3 and Renault Zoe.
