what is an electric vehicle? An electric vehicle (EV) is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline motor and uses energy stored in an rechargeable battery which can be charged using household electricity. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is powered by an electric motor and rechargeable battery but also has a back-up gasoline motor.
what are the cons of evs? Consumers have been hesitant to adopt EVs because of range anxiety, long charging times, and lack of commitment from the auto industry.
what are the pros of evs? Consumers have been hesitant to adopt EVs because of range anxiety, long charging times, and lack of commitment from the auto industry. Consumers should adopt EVs because they are environmentally friendlier, reduce dependency on oil, cheaper to operate at 2 cents per mile and battery technology is quickly improving.
government initiative

President Obama announced grants towards US production of EVs and battery technology EVs and PHEVs in the US by 2015 2,500 EVs and PHEVs in the Triangle by 2015
Research Findings: infrastructure The Triangle area is moving towards adopting EVs by implementing Smart Grid Technology, and planning the development of charging stations:

this is where we come in The public is not well informed about the current EV technology and therefore perceive EVs as a a product of the future.
The technology is here, and now the people need to know.
our mission Raleigh is on its way to becoming a hub for electric vehicles. Our campaign aims to raise awareness about electric vehicles by addressing residents on three levels:

Activate This design intervention is a positive opportunity to inform and educate our local community of the steps Raleigh is taking to becoming a smart city, and why we are poised to be a leader in the smart technologies industry. As charging stations grow out of the ground around up we should pride ourselves in fostering the development of future technologies, today.
