Manufacturing of Electric Cars
The manufacturing process of electric cars involves several stages, including the assembly of battery cells into modules and packs by battery manufacturers, which are then sold to automakers. The automakers then integrate these packs into the vehicles. Additionally, the production of electric cars requires the use of electricity, which can lead to higher carbon emissions during the manufacturing process compared to traditional cars.
Why Drive Electric Cars?
Despite the higher carbon intensity during manufacturing, electric cars offer several benefits that make them a more environmentally friendly option in the long run. They can help improve fuel economy, lower fuel costs, and reduce emissions. Electric cars do not produce local pollution, as they only store energy and do not emit pollutants in their surroundings. Furthermore, they can "pay off" the manufacturing emissions by driving cleaner over their lifetime of use. Overall, electric vehicles are an important part of meeting global goals on climate change.
Key Differences between Electric Cars and Gas-Driven Cars
Electric cars are distinct from gas-driven cars in several ways, primarily in their power source, engine, and overall design.
Power Source
Electric cars are powered by electricity stored in a battery, whereas gas-driven cars run on gasoline or diesel fuel.
Engine and Moving Parts
Electric cars have fewer moving parts, with only one moving part—the motor, whereas gas-driven cars have hundreds of moving parts. This leads to differences in maintenance and reliability.
Design and Functionality
Electric cars do not have a gas tank, engine, or conventional multi-gear transmission. Instead, they have a battery and an electric motor.
Operating Characteristics
Driving an electric car is a distinct experience, with a quieter and smoother ride due to the absence of an engine.
These fundamental differences contribute to the unique characteristics and advantages of electric cars compared to gas-driven cars.
Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Distribution Leaders
China is the leading country in electric vehicle (EV) production, accounting for almost 60% of the world's EV production in 2022. The country is projected to produce around 13 million battery electric vehicles (BEV) in 2023. China is home to three of the world's top 10 EV manufacturers, although their cars are not widely available in the United States or the European Union.
In terms of distribution, Norway leads in electric vehicle deployment, with a significant share of electric cars. As of 2023, Norway has the highest share of new cars sold that are electric, at 93%. Other countries with a notable share of electric cars include Sweden (60%), China (38%), Germany (24%), and the United Kingdom (24%).
Information is missing on the specific distribution channels and networks used by these countries to facilitate the sale and delivery of electric vehicles.
