The Insight of Electric Vehicle Population in Washington

Abstract

With the declination of the traditional vehicles that need fuel to combust engine, the number of electric vehicle population has been booming in recent years, which is effective and environmental-friendly. With electric consumption increasing, this study takes American electric vehicle population in Washington for example, analyzing the current situation of EVs by numbers of EV manufacture, geographic distribution, top brands, top models, and electric charge types by a given data set. These market phenomenon provides some clues about the progress of zero carbon emission in a global vision. The study will compare the similarities and differences about battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and also mention some the possible future tendency about electric vehicles. Moreover, based on the analysis, this paper presents some market opportunities and threatens of the development of electric vehicles. The achievement about low carbon and clean energy consumption not only rely on consumers purchasing choice, but also need macro regulation on power structure and balance in supply and demand of electricity.
