In the first of two
Part of the series, we look at the growth in the use of electric vehicles in Europe and around the world.
In order to understand the full meaning of electric vehicle motion, careful study of the factors driving electric vehicle motion is helpful, says Thomson at Thomson Reuters.
Unlike other huge shifts in consumer preferences, such as the growth of smartphones, the rise of e-commerce, and even the first car revolution, these are almost entirely driven by technological innovation, technology is only part of three technologies.
The two-pronged phenomenon behind the electric vehicle revolution.
The other two key variables are the improvement and speed of environmental awareness.
Change political policy.
Let's start with the environment.
While estimates vary, the automotive industry is believed to contribute 15 to 25% of pollution emissions, such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and carbon dioxide, according to John vibe, chief metals analyst at Thomson Reuters
In general, these pollutants have concentrated at the highest level in the Earth's atmosphere in the past 650,000 years, related to climate change.
Research shows that by the end of this century, the temperature of the earth will rise by far more than two degrees Celsius, unless there is a major change in global manufacturing, energy supply and consumption habits.
At the same time, these pollutants also caused smog and local pollution, causing health problems and seriously affecting the quality of life in major cities.
It's not an accident, it's like-
Mass public protests against this trend began to build and automakers began marketing alternative products
Electric vehicles generate lower emissions by increasing internal combustion engines and motors.
Toyota was the first hybrid Prius to really capture the market, launched in Japan in 1997.
By 2003, Prius had moved from novelty to status, thanks in part to the clever marketing of Toyota dealers in California.

In order to support greater environmental awareness, the momentum of DOE continues to grow, and governments around the world are beginning to realize that even Leonardo DiCaprio does not have enough star power to change consumers' car buying habits alone.
Despite the growing popularity of Prius, its annual sales figures are only a fraction of the sales of traditional power light trucks and SUVs.
2012 was the best year for Prius, with Toyota selling 247,500 vehicles in the United States. S.

Out of their fleet, 2025 models are in the year.
As a reference point, the average fuel economy of all cars sold in 2012 was 23. 2 mpg (10 L/100km).
Various institutions are pushing the electric car revolution.

In Hartford, Connecticut, there is one for every 35 people. The U. S. was not alone.
The EU has signed an agreement with automakers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1998, and since then the EU has been gradually improving its fuel efficiency target.
Recently, some countries have proposed a deadline for a complete ban on the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles, marking a stricter emission standard.
Norway has set the most aggressive targets to ban sales of traditional power cars by 2025.
Other countries such as India, the Netherlands and Israel have set a target of 2030, while China (

A ban is being actively considered and studied.

Still, fast though
The growth of fire comes from six different directions-China, the United StatesS.
Japan, Canada, Norway and the UK now have more than 1% of the total electric vehicle sales.
However, this figure is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years.
The key to this growth is the technological improvement of lithium. ion batteries.
Jon Berntsen, senior energy analyst at Thomson Reuters, explained that technological advances in this area have led to a sharp drop in energy storage prices.
"Due to economies of scale, the price of lithium --
"The ion battery pack steadily drops by 15% per year and the energy density is also increasing," explains Berntsen . ".
"This leads to a longer range for the same price.
When the range is expanded, consumers will accept electric vehicles and adopt a curve along the classic Technology Adoption: from early adopters to laggards.
This market is no different from other technology markets.
"With this development, electric vehicles will sooner or later reach the price/quality ratio that will make them compete with fossil fuels.
"Fuel alternatives," added Berntsen.
"When this happens, the market will soon enter a new direction. "Thomson-Reuters
