Electric Cars: Literature Review, Advantages, and Disadvantages Report

This report provides a comprehensive overview of electric vehicles (EVs), including their advantages and disadvantages. It begins with an introduction to EVs, emphasizing their role in environmental protection and cleaner transportation. The report then delves into a literature review, discussing the benefits of EVs, such as cleaner environments, lower running costs, and reduced noise pollution. It also examines the drawbacks, including higher costs and limited range. Furthermore, the report details the UK government's initiatives to support the transition to EVs, such as electric car grants. A reflective statement is included, applying Gibbs' reflective model to analyze experiences and plan for improvements. The report concludes with recommendations for the manufacturing industry to address limitations such as limited range and long charging times. The references cited support the information provided throughout the report.

Introduction
The electric vehicles include car, trucks of all size, transit buses are partially powered
by electricity (Chandler, 2019). Electric vehicles help the environment to be clean, safe
and also prevent from pollution, hence, it is better for the climate as well.

Overview
Electric cars, nowadays are more preferable as the rates of petrol gets high so people are
setting their mind according to them The main issues which are arising in these cars are
that these cars do not cover long distance so people lack here.

Literature review
According to Robert Anderson (Robert Anderson, 2022) the inventor of first crude
electric carriage, electric cars are used best for covering small areas with less amount.
Electric cars are more preferable nowadays, as the rate of petrol or diesel has increased so
people who can afford to buy these vehicles are going for it more.

The electric car
An electric car is an automobile which contains one or more electric motors and only uses the
energy stored in batteries (Enyedi, 2018). The key components of electrical car include battery,
charge pot, DC converter, electric traction motor, on-board charger, power electronics controller,
thermal systems, traction battery packs, transmission.

Advantages of electric cars
 Cleaner environment
 Lower running costs
 Better driving
 Reduce noise pollution

Disadvantages of electric cars
 More emission
 Costly
 Cover less area
 Time consuming

How the UK government is supporting the
transiting to electric vehicles?
Electric vehicles carry lot of benefits as these are eco-friendly which keep the environment
clean, safe and pollution free (Meckling and Nahm, 2018). UK government is supporting
these vehicles through many ways, one of those is providing electric car grant. The
government provide car gran through the department for Transport's office for Zero emission
vehicle.

Reflective statement
Gibbs reflective model is framework which is used to examine individual experiences to learn
and plan things from those experiences (Deutsch and Strack, 2020). It helps an individual to learn from
past experiences and to create an action plan from those things which does not went well. People can
make sense of an experience in relation to themselves, others, and the circumstances that led up to it
through reflection

CONCLUSION
From the above information it is asserted that electrical vehicles help to reduce pollution and
are very easy. Electric vehicles benefit to keep the environment clean, safe, pollution free and
are eco-friendly. Electric vehicles use electricity to charge itself rather than fossil fuels like
diesel, petrol etc.

RECOMMENDATIONS
 The electric cars give less average and are slow in speed which restricts the buyer to buy
them. The manufacturing industry must use innovative technology and increase the
average of electric cars so that it can run on average speed and attract buyers.
 The electrical vehicles take more to get charged which creates problem for public as it
becomes time consuming. The manufacturing industry must advance technology in order
to decrease the charging time for charging of vehicle.
