Electrical Vehicle Characteristics

•All electric vehicles produce no emissions.  The range on an electric vehicle tops out at around 100 miles.  That figure is being pushed out by new technologies every year.  It is conceivable that we may soon see electric vehicles with ranges up to 200 miles.  The over the road efficiency of electric vehicles is not limited in the same way that gas and compressed natural gas vehicles are.  Currently the average efficiency of an EV is about 44%.  With emerging technologies this figure may get much higher.
