Nowadays, vehicles using electric power or a mixture of electric motors with conventional combustion engines have developed. Concern for the environment is what then produces alternative fuel car products. The hope that is to be achieved is to reduce the use of fossil fuels while reducing emissions from conventional engine combustion so that the earth is more sustainable.
The work of these automotive engineers divides cars into 5 categories: first, those powered by conventional engines (diesel or gasoline). second, hybrid power (conventional engines with a combination of battery power that is charged from the movement of the engine as used in the Toyota Prius). third, PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) powered cars are cars powered by conventional engines, but the batteries can be charged using household electricity or charging stations and fourth is Range Extender, namely cars that move using electric motors as the main power, but are still equipped with conventional engines whose function is to charge the battery when the battery runs out while driving. fifth; Electric Car (EV) cars that are purely driven by battery-powered electric motors without the addition of conventional combustion engines.
The development of electric cars is assisted by the government through the PLN company and the government is also willing to invest in the battery sector. Slowly but surely, these electric cars are increasingly gaining the hearts of the public. The projection results from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) explain that 55% of the Global Market is Electric Cars in 2040. This can be concluded that in 2040, the total number of electric cars will reach 55 percent or the equivalent of approximately 60 million units of global car sales. This means that in the next 20 years, electric cars will be easier to obtain with adequate infrastructure support.
A number of automotive manufacturers in the world are now competing to produce electric cars. In terms of business, they are now busy producing and marketing electric cars to various countries. In fact, a number of manufacturers are now starting to dare to declare that they will abandon the production of pure fossil fuel-powered cars and switch completely to electric-powered cars, as Chang’an did in China, following in the footsteps of Tesla in the United States which focuses on the sale and production of pure electric cars.
Based on the results of the latest study, sales of electric cars (electric vehicles) in 2040 are estimated to reach 55 percent of the total world automotive market. This figure also replaces at least 7 percent of fuel consumption.
