- W565466164 abstract "Although plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) have the potential to be a more sustainable option for personal travel than conventional vehicles, market penetration will take time. This article presents an overview of the current and future market for PEVs, and describes Federal and State efforts to overcome these challenges. Over the next few years, nearly all major automakers plan to put PEVs on the road. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates PEV production levels to be more than 1.2 million total through 2015. However, actual production and market penetration depend on many variables. A number of barriers stand in the way of broader consumer acceptance and more widespread deployment of electric vehicles, including higher upfront vehicle cost compared to conventional automobiles, the limited range of battery electric vehicles, and the availability of the charging infrastructure. Managing energy demand between PEV charging and the existing demand on the electrical grid is another challenge. Additional issues from a transportation and highway perspective include concerns over life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions, impacts of reduced gas tax revenues on the Highway Trust Fund, and current federal prohibitions on commercialization of interstate rights-of-way. To overcome some of the market obstacles, government entities are supporting the development of PEVs and their required infrastructure through research and funding. The Obama administration, which has set a goal of getting one million advanced technology vehicles on the road by 2015, has developed new initiatives, including tax breaks, to support these vehicles. The most recent surface transportation bill permits transportation funding to be used to fund some electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Both the public and the private sectors have invested in charging infrastructure, with public-private partnerships being the most popular method of deploying charging infrastructure. An alternative to public fast-charging stations could be battery switch stations. Another potential solution is deployment of “smart grid” technology to ease the demand. Most of the PEVs currently on the market use lithium-ion batteries. However, work is currently underway to develop and test new battery chemistries that are less expensive and offer a longer charge life. An example of how PEVs can be successfully incorporated is Washington State’s West Coast Electric Highway, a network of electric vehicle fast-charging locations along I–5. The public charging stations enable PEV drivers to travel the length of the State." @default.
