| Abstract |
Impacts of the use of electric cars in the Los Angeles region in 1980-2000 were projected for four-passenger subcompact electric cars using lead-acid and advanced batteries, with urban driving ranges of about 55 to 140 miles, respectively. Data from Los Angeles travel surveys shows that such cars could replace 17-74 percent of future Los Angeles autos with little sacrifice of urban driving. Adequate raw materials and night-time recharging power should be available for such use in the Los Angeles Region. The electric subcompacts would appear to be 20-60% more expensive overall than conventional subcompacts until battery development significantly reduces battery depreciation costs. This volume makes an overall review. |
