The impact of electric cars and how It will change the future

Introduction

According to Hussein Dia in the article “This is how electric cars will transform our lives” Electro-mobility is inevitable but the impact of these cars will be profound.  According to global statistics China is the number one manufacture of cars, the country is scheduled to stop the production of fossil fuel cars by 2030, India was the second nation to declare its intentions to do that.  Most of the countries in Europe, including Germany and France plan to end the production of petrol and diesel vehicles by the next two decades. Automotive manufacturing companies to include, Jaguar, Volvo, Mercedes, Audi and Land Rover have promised to release electric models before the decade is over.  A future that is dominated by electric cars is inevitable but the consequences will be dire.  One of the direst impacts of the production of these cars will be the disruption it will cause in the oil industry.  The manufacture of electric cars will place considerable budgetary stress on major oil-producing countries and radically change the geo-political map, the production of electric cars will largely impact employment distribution in automotive manufacturing countries.  It is my belief that oil manufacturing giants might be at the verge of collapsing with the rise of electric cars in the market.  

Literature Review

To successful complete the research I  will be exploring databases for information on the impacts of electric cars, the primary source of data will be the article by Hussein Dia, “This is how electric cars will transform our lives” the Scholarly article “The impact of electric vehicles on the outlook of future energy system” by Zhuk and Buzoverov will prove to be a great source of data when it comes to deeply understanding the impacts of these cars to the oil-producing countries. I Also found a blog written by Christopher McFadden, “7 Ways Electric Vehicles Are Set to Change the Future”. I will be able to draw from this blog and explore the ways electric cars are set to challenge the future.

Methodology

 In addition to drawing from secondary sources, I hope to interviews the Manager at Mercedes, a company that has already introduced its first electric car, The Mercedes-Benz EQC. From the interview with the Manager I hope to learn about the functioning of the car and what drove the company to manufacturing an electric Benz model, the challenges that comes with the manufacturing of the car and the impacts the car is likely to cause.  The second person to interview will be my sister who is a proud owner of a Tesla, an electric car, from her I hope to gain insight on the users experience and the reason she chooses to purchase an electric powered car instead of a fossil powered car.

Results

Primary Research question;” Are the profound and dire impacts of electric cars likely to be remedied in the long run?”  Also, “Why are people interested in electric cars more than fuel cars and what drives people to purchasing electric cars?” I want to understand the impacts of electric cars more clearly and what the future holds when the automobile market will be dominated by only electric-cars, fossils cars gone and forgotten.  Also understanding the first and foremost impact of these electric cars will be important in remedying the impacts electric cars will have on oil production.
