AbstractThe key to market success for electric vehicles (EVs) has always been the energy-storage device, which limits driving range and vehicle acceleration. In many respects, rechargeable lithium batteries are the most attractive technology for storing energy and delivering it on demand in an automobile. Past and ongoing efforts to develop electric-based automotive propulsion systems are chronicled in this article.

The Chinese government has announced a trial programme to provide for private purchase of new battery-operated electric vehicles (EVs) and for plug-in hybrids in five cities. We investigate the potential impact of these subsidies and charging facilities on demand for EVs, using data from a survey of potential car buyers in China. Building on the understanding of factors and incentives that would likely encourage households to adopt EVs would help to improve policy interventions. Data collection is based on experimental design and stated choice methods through an Internet survey. Choice alternatives include a conventional gasoline, a plug-in hybrid and a pure electrical vehicle. In addition to subsidy and charging facilities, we also investigate the impact of common vehicle attributes such as purchase price, cruising range, refuelling time and the socio-demographic effect. Applying a multinomial logit (MNL) model, we find that subsidies would significantly encourage households to choose a plug-in hybrid or an EV. Compared to pure EVs, people in China are more willing to accept plug-in hybrids at present. Compared to the price factors, charging facilities are less of a concern when households consider the adoption of an EV. Willingness-to-pay and market share simulation are computed based on the estimated parameters for further analysis.

Without compromising the present traffic needs, a kind of transport system is required which helps in sustainable development in the present world scenario where fuel and environment have become areas of major concern for transportation. The modern transportation system must be sustainable, congestion free, accident free, fuel efficient and economical. PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) is the most recent development in public transportation and is best possible option which compiles to the above needs. PRT is a new innovative and on demand system for developed or urban transportation environments by using small, driverless, electric vehicles which run on guide ways. Its lightweight and flexible nature enables it to be retrofitted into a broad range of transportation environments. It is designed to be reliable and safety built in to ensure comfort and security of its passengers. This paper discusses how PRT is efficient in managing urban traffic and solving most of the modern traffic problems.
