Dear …

Introduction

This proposal letter is for a research report that will compare three makers of electric vehicles: Tesla, Nissan and Hyundai to evaluate their performance to make a recommendation for best purchase choice for a new vehicle buyer. This proposed report will discuss three types of electric vehicles based on criteria of battery life, engine power/speed, charging time, purchase price and the availability to determine which one is the most effective electric vehicle to purchase.

Background

Electric vehicles are new environmental transportation devices that protect the earth from exhaust emissions that cause ozone depletion. According to the US Department of Energy (n.d.), “electric vehicles (EV) derive all of their power from electricity supplied by the electric grid and include all-electric vehicles (AEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs).” Most AEVs have a range of 80-100 miles with some luxury models having ranges up to 250 miles before the depleted battery needs to be recharged; 30 minuets for fast charging and a full day to fully recharge (Energy.gov, n.d.).

Many environmentally-conscious people prefer to buy an electric vehicle to support protection of the environment. This proposed research will help people who are thinking of buying an electric vehicle by recommending a manufacturer based on specific criteria and EV specifications from the three manufacturers chosen for evaluation.

Research & Methodology

This report will be supported by secondary research conducted at the College of the North Atlantic-Qatar (CNAQ). Secondary sources will include a variety of information from manufacturer’s websites, blogs, journal articles and scholarly publications from the CNAQ library databases.

There will be three main sections included in the final report.

· The first section will define electric vehicles and introduce Tesla, Nissan and Hyundai manufacturers that will be researched.

· The second section will discuss each electric vehicle from three manufacturers based on specific criteria.

· The last section will evaluate the best manufacturers based on the selection criteria to make a recommendation.
