Electric vehicles will not solve all the problems related to emissions of carbon dioxide facing the automotive industry

Electric vehicles will not solve all the problems related to emissions of carbon dioxide facing the automotive industry, according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which highlights the need to work on other complementary technologies.

PwC's paper says that the major automotive markets such as USA, Japan and the European Union are putting in place regulations requiring reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cars, so car manufacturers and components are being forced to invest heavily in the development of more efficient technologies. Therefore, the bid document that governments of different countries to implement measures to encourage the use of these vehicles, as well as grants or loans, which allow the installation of necessary infrastructure.

On the other hand, the report shows that the improved performance and battery life of lithium ion technology is the main obstacle they have to solve the automakers regarding electric cars.
