In the future, the second car of the family will be a electric car

For Luis Padial, member of the Cabinet Secretariat of State for Energy, the electric vehicle will bring great benefits. Among them, solve the energy dependency of Spain, help diversify the power generation and enhance the indigenous production. In addition, in 2020 to absorb 10% of electricity supply. But "to this day, the electric vehicle is not for the heat," he said. Much remains to be done to stimulate demand, which can be achieved with the increase of charging points, more information on this and favoring the use of environmentally friendly car from local authorities. On the problem of the batteries, the bottle is half full. "There is room for research in the medium term," said Padial aware that "electric vehicles represent an opportunity from the standpoint of industry and technology." http://thechemistrysideoftheforce.blogspot.com/

A shared vision of sectoral policies deputy director of Industry, Timoteo de la Fuente. Some automotive brands and develop hybrid and electric vehicles, which means to be making inroads. But despite being much more efficient than internal combustion engine, the energy use of an electric vehicle engine is around 70%, while the combustion is 17% - the burden of their lack of autonomy makes the car Power does not come off second vehicle profile restricted to urban use.

The experts recalled that the population is concentrated in the cities and the needs of drivers in the city, 50% traveled less than 20 miles a day, fit into the range of 150 kilometers. "It would suffice to charge once a week," says de la Fuente. "The goal is to have 350 000 recharging points in 2014, and a million electric vehicles (250,000 electric and 750,000 hybrids), but today there are 24 million cars on the street," he said.

A low demand and high price [around 30,000 euros] joined other technological challenges that will affect the future of mobility, such as the manufacture of batteries. Although the EU looks to electric car in his plans to promote clean energy, we will continue improving the efficiency of the combustion engine, while the electric vehicle is developed long term, as stated by the Deputy Head of Unit address general mobility and transport in the EU, Franz Soldner.
