Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fascinating Look at the 5 Leading Personalities Driving the Transition to Electric Vehicles and Reinventing the Auto Industry The leading car manufacturing firms have all essentially pledged to transition from traditional carbon dioxide-emitting vehicles to battery-powered electric vehicles. Tesla has led the way to date, recently producing its three millionth car since its first sale in 2009. General Motors has committed to carbon neutrality in its global products and operations by 2040. Honda has committed to carbon neutrality as well as zero traffic collision fatalities by 2050. These are ambitious and noble goals, yet they will take a supreme transformation to achieve. In The Electric Vehicle Revolution, Kenneth K. Boyer highlights the promise, perils, and personalities of the world’s automobile makers as they re-engineer a post-carbon present and future. Driving the narrative is the key to it all: the green transformation of the global auto parts supply chain. This book includes never-before-reported stories of the leaders, designers, engineers, and inventors leading the charge to decarbonize the transportation sector from packaging to tires and more. Boyer examines the prospects and plans for this disruptive change, starting with stories of several automotive visionaries: Tesla CEO Elon Musk; Vietnam billionaire Pham Nhật Vuong; Ceer CEO Jim DeLuca; Monolith Corp cofounder Rob Hanson; and GM CEO Mary Barra. Each protagonist has a vision for transforming the world of transportation into a greener, more carbon-friendly industry while also earning profits in our predominantly capitalist world. Readers will learn how their breakthroughs and struggles illuminate the future while facing the question: Will an auto revolution lead the world to a more sustainable economic future, or will it be too late?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will educate, inform, and ultimately convince the fence-sitters that electric vehicles (EVs) are the best personal transportation choice today. They are cost effective, exciting to drive, and a step in the “right†direction for social, environmental, and domestic economical reasons. The target audience of this work is the undecided portion of the population that is curious about electric cars, but doesn't know all of the intricacies to confidently purchase one. This book provides accurate, decision-making information for someone getting ready to purchase their next vehicle. Once the economics of the situation are analyzed and considered, the choice is even clearer: EVs make sense and make “cents†. Another reason I am writing this book is because I am an engineer – a board-certified environmental engineer (BCEE). This has been a passion of mine since my college days when I stood around a vat of RIT dye making tie die shirts for an upcoming Environmental Club Fundraising event. Then and there I decided to quit the club and focus on the solution rather than just complaining about the world's problems.The data presented in this book is real. The information is gathered from U.S. government research departments, independent agency websites, and various automobile manufacturer websites. Most importantly, we will discuss the actual data from my Chevy Volt including costs for gasoline and electricity over the past 20,000 miles. My hope is that this book will serve as an Electric Vehicle manual or decision-making guide to provide the reader with three main elements: real information to make a sound car-buying decision, actual costs that can be easily calculated and followed by the reader and finally, instill the consumer confidence in this revolutionary technology reshaping our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses cars of the future and the new socio-economic paradigm that they represent. It examines the electromobility revolution in the traditional automotive industry and brings together multidisciplinary expertise to provide insights into the shift towards electromobility. New vehicular technologies may develop in various directions, including the smart car, and this context raises two important questions: will car manufactures maintain control over the industry? And if so, will they be able to come up with sufficiently radical innovations to steer us into the electromobility of tomorrow? One thing is certain: the transition to electromobility will be a revolution. The book’s combined approach to understanding this complex reality enables readers to better visualize the possible future directions. It offers anyone interested in electromobility an excellent review of the subject and a useful roadmap to future developments.

Book excerpt: A Soul of a New Machine for our time, a gripping account of invention, commerce, and duplicity in the age of technology A worldwide race is on to perfect the next engine of economic growth, the advanced lithium-ion battery. It will power the electric car, relieve global warming, and catapult the winner into a new era of economic and political mastery. Can the United States win? Steve LeVine was granted unprecedented access to a secret federal laboratory outside Chicago, where a group of geniuses is trying to solve this next monumental task of physics. But these scientists— almost all foreign born—are not alone. With so much at stake, researchers in Japan, South Korea, and China are in the same pursuit. The drama intensifies when a Silicon Valley start-up licenses the federal laboratory’s signature invention with the aim of a blockbuster sale to the world’s biggest carmakers. The Powerhouse is a real-time, two-year thrilling account of big invention, big commercialization, and big deception. It exposes the layers of competition and ambition, aspiration and disappointment behind this great turning point in the history of technology.
