Abstract(s)
The way people travel is about to change. Since the early beginning of the twentieth century, two nowadays, the automobile has become the most prolific transportation form. The propulsion is done by an internal combustion engine which converter thermal energy, by burning diesel or petrol, into mechanical energy. However, due to several reasons reasons such as economical, envoronmental among others, there is a tendency to replace the i9nternal combustion engine by electrically powered motors. Electrical motors have many properties. One of them is its efficiency. An electric motor can easily reach an efficiency above 80% against to average 40% for internal combustion engines. Nevertheless, at the present, there are serious limitations regarding electric engine cars proliferation. There acquisition cost and autonomy are still two major restrictions. Even if the former aspect can be attenuated by proper tax reduction policies, the is strongly dependent of technical issues i.e. the development of faster methods, longer life batteries, etc.
