Future Of Electric Cars

By Shannon Paulk

Technology is moving at a speed most people have trouble keeping up with, so its nearly impossible to tell what the future will bring. From technological fantasies from the makers of The Jetsons and Star Trek, some of these fantasies have become reality. With the new face to face calling on the iPhone 4 to powerful computers that are mapping uncharted territories and uncovering entire genomes, new technology is constantly shaping the way we live our lives. One of these new technologies is the advent of the infamous electric car.

For years environmentalists have squandered for a solution that will both save the world and be practical for every-day use. We know that the huge consumption of fossil fuels is leading to problems within not only communities heavy laden with these gas-chugging behemoths, but also the world around them and as we all know the first step toward solving a problem is identifying it. Years ago people began pointing their fingers at cars whenever the issue of global warming or emissions came about. The illusive electric car has been an optimistic solution to this problem for many years and many attempts at perfecting the perfect concoction of battery-to-gas fuel have fallen flat because we have not, until recently, had technology at an affordable price that would be convenient to use on an every-day basis.

The year 2010 is shaping up to be one of the most influential years in the creation of the electric car. In fact, more than a quarter of the country's estimated 4,600 electric charging stations were erected in this year alone. This is because the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf are expected to be released later in 2010.

The statistics for both vehicles are groundbreaking. Chevrolet anticipates that its new petroleum engine powered battery system will make it possible to travel hundreds of miles on one single tank of gas once the electric charge of the battery is depleted. Nissan claims that its electric car can be charge to an 80 percent battery life in as little as 30 minutes.

While both of these cars are astonishing and true achievements in the history of electric cars, they still come at an affordable price an issue that has long haunted the progress of creating a more efficient power source for cars. It is not the future of electric, the future is electric; and it is charging at us with more power than ever before. If you decide to try buying a new electric car, make sure you protect your investment.
