However, achieving either goal would likely require governments offering hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in EV subsidies to ICE owners over the next decade, not to mention significant investments in EV charging infrastructure and the electrical grid. Concatenated costs also include changing multiple personal behaviors.

The Parallel system can also help alleviate the supply chain crisis by enabling low cost and regular movement of freight in and out of ports. Parallel’s competitive edge is our autonomous battery-electric rail vehicles, which are designed to move freight cleaner, faster, safer and more cost effectively than traditional trains or trucks.

Increasingly, they are making inroads in transportation and grid storage applications. Electric utilities will implement more energy storage projects on their grids — partly driven by regulations as well as the proliferation of clean-energy grids with distributed wind and solar generation. That must change.

The basic question addressed, which appears on the study homepage (epri-reports.org) is this: How would air quality and greenhouse gas emissions be affected if significant numbers of Americans drove cars that were fueled by the power grid? And the grid is getting cleaner and more renewable every year.

Reduced Operating Costs: Electric vehicles generally have lower operating costs than ICE vehicles. Electricity is usually cheaper than gasoline or diesel on a per-mile basis. The higher upfront costs made EVs less accessible and less attractive to a broader consumer base.

Because [Ford] can provide the hardware, but ultimately, our country has to decide is this where we really want to go and if so, how are we going to really develop the smart grid in a way that works and allows the utilities to actually speak to each other and trade power, ubiquity of charging and all those things.

Getting Power From EV Charging Stations You probably already know that EVs get their power for their batteries from the electric grid through EV charging stations — either in the home, in public places or on privately owned commercial property. However, EVs can be made even cleaner by using solar power as a fuel source.

In January GM announced the Volt, a smart idea that makes use of the two existing primary energy infrastructures - the electric grid and gasoline stations. Instead, GM says the batteries must be Lithium and must take the car 40 miles before the engine comes on. With every succeeding announcement, the Volt recedes into the future.

It is basically a 40 mile per hour / 40 mile electric car. While a series hybrid is good, the Toyota Prius gets 100 miles per gallon because after the 20 miles of pure EV mode, it kicks into a hybrid-electric car. Turn the car into a 80 mile range EV. The GM (Range Extending EV) comes in with 50 miles per gallon.

The electric grid is the most advanced energy-distribution network ever created and is constantly only a few feet away from us (far more ubiquitous than gas/ethanol/hydrogen stations). Electricity costs are relatively inexpensive. As a civilization, we have committed ourselves to electricity and we must make cleaner electricity.

If cost is an important consideration, than charging your EV at home is a no-brainer as it cuts out any profit-hungry middlemen. Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities.
