electric car isn't a good solution for particular people by the moment

A series of conditions: autonomy (between 100 and 120 actual miles), the recharge time takes conventional (6 to 8 hours), or the need for a car with power load, make the use of electric cars not be very feasible for a particular. And even less if we consider its performance relative to a conventional diesel can cost three times less.
In fifteen seconds, with six euros, you can load into the tank of a diesel Renault Clio, the required amount of fuel to travel one hundred kilometers. If it's an electric car, with less than two euros can take full charge to travel those same one hundred kilometers. However, entry into the load, if it is a conventional decision, are to be used between 6 and 8 hours. And secondly, when the price of electric vehicles (with batteries for) the equivalent of three times that of diesel, the difference was not repaid until you travel 300,000 kilometers. And as the average annual mileage of these vehicles is 7,500 kilometers, will take another 40 years.
Battery Rental
Renault offers a more viable approach partly solves this problem. Thus, its electric Fluence and Zoe come at a price (after applying for aid for the purchase) equal to that of a conventional model. But batteries are not included but are available under a 'lease', for 79 euros a month, to 10,000 km per year for three years. Two points, with those 79 euros you can have about a thousand liters of diesel per year, and on the other hand, if the manufacturer says that profitability is achieved if you do 12,000 miles a year, what will happen or what price it charged for those 2,000 more miles above the figure for the "renting"?
For all this and at the present time, the only customers able to find a financial or environmental media in the electric car are the fleets of companies. They themselves are able to invest in expensive poles quick recharge (80% of the battery in 30 minutes), which allows vehicles to increase their ability to perform major tours mileage necessary for their profitability.
What companies do you think? At present, only 2% of Spanish companies have electric vehicles in their fleets, a percentage similar to hybrids and close to 3% representing those using LPG or natural gas. These figures are far from 12% of Spanish companies have already recognized fuel-efficient cars (Eco2, Econetic, Bluetec, etc.) or even Fluela Flex vehicles (biofuels). With the theme of hybrid goes a bit like electric cars, their high purchase price cuts the purchasing intentions. Seven out of ten companies now recognize not afford to bet on a fleet of vehicles in these characteristics.
As for intentions, 23% of large Spanish companies and 21% of small and medium-sized states that incorporate electric vehicles by 2013, according to data from Monitoring Vehicle Company (VOC), sponsored by Arval, a company of 'renting' the BNP Paribas group, made public on the occasion of the Second Chamber of the Alternative Fuel Vehicle and Valladolid in October.
While this represents a significant increase in eight points on the intentions shown a year ago, the hybrid wins him the intention to use electricity in the medium term to be 30% of Spanish companies that include them into their fleets the next three years, which means winning the 'battle' the electric car intended for use in the medium term.
Arval According to the introduction of such vehicles in the car park a success, the involvement of government and public entities and large corporations will be key. In addition, they benefit from a reduction of energy costs associated with transportation, as well as a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the administration represent only 5% of long-term rentals in Spain.
Obstacles
Companies are still serious obstacles to economic and technical at the time of incorporating electric vehicles to its fleet before it becomes a realistic alternative to consider. 68% of the enterprises located in our country considered excessively high purchase price. Another problem that makes companies think twice before entering an electric car to their fleet is the lack of infrastructure. So, for 59% of the companies, the lack of recharge points is the main barrier to be decided, while 51% considered an obstacle to its implementation the lack of suitable models for their activity and insufficient network of workshops able to maintain and repair the technology. Doubts about their road safety and their 'green impact' real arouse suspicion also from 12% of users.
And finally another aspect to consider is that for automakers, the company's fleet will be essential for the development of electric models at the first stage. The explanation is that, through the purchase of a large number of the units may make it profitable production, and another to serve as a testbed for development, before going into private hands.
