RES0001: Electric Vehicles in UK - Research Skills and Info

This report provides an overview of electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK, covering various aspects such as their background, benefits, and challenges. The introduction highlights the growing popularity of EVs. The background section defines EVs as ultra-low emission vehicles powered by electricity. The literature review explores the concept of EVs, emphasizing their role in improving air quality and reducing noise pollution, and their importance in achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The benefits of EVs are discussed, highlighting cost savings and their increasing mainstream adoption. The report also addresses challenges, including shorter driving ranges, limited charging points, and longer charging times. Secondary resources are used for the literature review and evaluation of sources. The conclusion summarizes the government's plan to end sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040, and acknowledges the current limitations in charging infrastructure. References are provided to support the research.

INTRODUCTION
Electric vehicles have gained popularity within the marketplace
because of the assets that are being delivered by them. These are also
known as electrics which make use of motors for propulsion that are
powered through collector system. This presentation will provide an
overview of electric vehicles
in UK.

BACKGROUND
Electric vehicles are also referred to as ultra low emission vehicle
which runs on the electricity. They make use of electric motors as well
as attain power from rechargeable batteries.

LITERATURE REVIEW
 Concept of electric
vehicles
EV’s utilise only power sources for
running on the roads They are
favoured to enhance the air quality
as well as minimise noise
pollution. This means that is
critical role within attainment of
the target that is zero greenhouse
gas emission by the year 2050.

CONT.…
 Benefits of electric vehicles
EV’s are becoming mainstream that
has lead to decline within the costs
within the rapid way and through
this ample of benefits can be
attained by the drivers. With
reference to the economic
concerns, individuals have the
option to minimise the cost in
terms of fuel, maintenance and tax.

CONT.…
 Challenges related with opting for EV’s
Ample of challenges are encountered via individuals while
opting for electric vehicles in UK, they are specified beneath:
 Electric vehicles have shorter range for the driving as well as are
not apt for having long commutes purposes.
 There are limited charging points, it means that it becomes
critical to people to charge their vehicles.
 Charging needs more time frames even a complete day which
means that they are not apt for travelling.

EVALUATION OF SOURCES
In this case secondary resources are used for carrying out literature
along with analysis of the topic. In context of reliability as well as
accuracy, the sources are already published and provides with in-
depth knowledge related with the topic.

CONCLUSION
From above, it has inferred that government of UK have opted to
end the sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by the year 2040. The
charging points are less but government is working on to have
solution to the problem that is being faced.
