The Change of Mobility
Status quo – R&D Uncertain and explorative stage Explore different technology options Main difficulties: lack of experience and innovation/modification
Status quo - Production
Status quo - Distribution Sale vs. Leasing Soften costs for e-cars Spread out costs for batteries Sales behind expectations Different reasons Car manufacturers: new generation of e-cars Government: incentives, financial supports, etc.
Status quo - Utilisation Interaction of all components: Charging at home and work battery switching in-car services Part of every day life
Advantages Efficiency Engine, controllers and battery Tank to Wheel-Efficiency (3 times higher) Environmental friendliness Input: electricity Output: no emissions, noise, waste heat Costs Buying costs: today – expensive, future – competitive prices Running costs: savings out of electricity and other possibilities (e.g. road taxes, parking fees, congestion charges)
Disadvantages High costs Purchase (car/battery), charging points at home Driving range Average range: 160 km Recharging time Varies between 3.5 and 9 hours Infrastructure Standardization Charging stations network
