1. The current and the future trends that might influence the study
At present, the emission of the greenhouse gases from the transportation
sectors is one among the most significant environmental issues prevailing and it is
growing considerably at a rapid rate than ever before. . With the same, it is also to
mention that the world population is significantly increasing and so is the demand for
public transportation. To meet this demand, automobiles are the most common means
of all and at the same, time are the major source of pollution in the earth’s
atmosphere. The technologies for the purpose of world-wide transportation are all
influenced by the internal combustion. The engine power vehicles are leading major
threat to the emission of greenhouse gas. However, it is also to note that improvement
in this intercontinental transportation technology has to some extent, changed to the
Hybrid fuels or the battery electric automobiles but all these improvement in
technology are not at all attracting the intercontinental customers due to its
compatibility, along with the high cost. Furthermore, cars contribute about 60 to 90%
of the total air pollution in the urban areas (Lelieveld et al., 2015). Each gallon that
any car uses, contributes about 22 pounds of the carbon-dioxide that in turn
contributes to the greenhouse effect and the other related hazards such as air pollution.
Introduction of the solar power electric cars that are of low cost and that which would
meet the needs of the global customers will be of great demand in the coming era.
Hence, the likelihood of using the solar power electric vehicles would increase in the
future.
2. The importance of the current and the future trends to Solar Power Electric Cars
This research was done with the purpose of serving as a foundation for the
development of the Solar Power Electric Cars. The efficiency and importance of the
solar cells is been greatly increasing with the increase in technological improvements

in the last fifty years. The benefits of the solar energy begins with the fact that the sun
is environmentally sound (Kim et al., 2017). The formation of the solar energy by the
solar cars would harm the environment in any way. The solar cars are both emission
free as well as they do not exhaust any natural resources of the earth (Mouli et al.,
2016). Making use of sunlight to power their cars will not cost anything to the
customers as no one is the owner of the sun. Hence, they would not have to pay for
electricity, fuel or gas. With the same, the target customers of this cars has been
established in this research. However, it is also to mention that if the trend would
increase, the possibility of the development of this would increase further. For
example, the target customers of this cars are the people living in the urban areas.
With the passage of time, if more number of people tend to shift to the urban areas
then the likelihood of the usage of Solar Power Electric Cars will increase with the
increase in population and pollution.
