HOW REALISTIC IS IT TO REPLACE HALF THE NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES WITH ELECTRIC VEHICLES BY 2030?

Purpose of the project:

This project is designed to assess your understanding of electricity, electrical circuits and their practical applications. In your answers I am not looking for an ‘exact answer’ but for your ability to analyze an important situation, explore the pros and cons, and make a credible evaluation of how realistic it is to replace half of all automobiles in the U.S. with electric cars.

Project Statement:

Read about President Biden’s signature climate law regarding electric vehicles (EVs). Conduct a literature survey on relevant aspects such as: (a) How much electricity does an EV consume to be charged? (b) Does it depend upon the size, weight, engine size, etc.? (c) How does the required electricity consumption compare with the consumption of other appliances at home? (d) How much power is produced by the electric grid on a daily basis? (e) What are the conflicting parameters to make the law implementable? (f) How does the cost with and without EV at your home compare based on the electricity usage shown on your own monthly electric bill? (g) Summarize at least a few pro and con views from what you have read and from your own conclusions.

What I Expect From You:

A well-written paper that states the problem, summarizes in a clear manner the existing views on this issue, some computations you have performed on the relevant quantities involved in the decision making process and your own conclusions.The goal of your paper should be how it can be understood by a high school student and how it will motivate them to pursue further exploration of the issues.
