Argumentative Essay: The Electric Vehicle Power

The electric automobile has advanced greatly comparing it to its predecessors. The electric automobile is a popular option for those who seek low cost of transportation, and those who are environmentally minded. With many advantages other than saving money on gas, specifically the low cost of maintenance. But it raises a question that resonates with all potential electric vehicle buyers. What happens when the driver used all of the electric vehicle power? In today’s world the electric automobile faces the tremendous issue of battery range, before electric vehicles become the primary form of transportation in the world, battery range will need to be augmented. The most effective way to heightened battery range is by creating a superior infrastructure

According to the DOE’s Alternative Fuel Data Center, there is “22,949 public charging outlets in the United States”. In other words the amount of charging stations in the United States are not enough for the population of plug-in vehicles making long distance traveling very difficult to accomplish. For instance, Andrew Moseman from the magazine popularmechanic.com calculated how long it would take to drive from New York to Los Angeles. Using google maps and the tesla charging station the fastest route for a tesla would take 55 hours not including the supercharging station stops. On the contrary, 40 hours would be considered normal not counting the fueling stops. To solve this problem some countries are developing infrastructure that will shorten the time of travel. For instant, journalist Ivana Kottasova and Alanna Petroff from CNN stated that the U.K government is developing a highway that will allow the electric vehicles to charge wirelessly. The highway will consist in a lane that will only allow electric vehicles to drive on. This technology can be compared to wireless phone charges. The system uses a technic call magnetic resonance coupling. A research team from MIT develop this technology, it works by transferring magnetic wave that produces power when it contacts the magnetic inductor in the electric
