#Electric car sales growing 100%every year Actually, electric car sales are growing a little bit more than 100%.%Every year more and more electric car models are hitting the market.

As more consumers begin to adopt the technology electric car sales continue to improve. EV sales are currently growing at a rate of more than 100 percent a year according to a recent report.

In 2010 only 25,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles were sold around the world, but by the end of 2011 80,000 electric vehicles were sold.

Why are electric cars selling better than ever before? A few years ago if a car buyer wanted to buy a fully electric car,

their only option was to walk into a showroom for the Nissan leaf. But now there are several electric

electric car prices have dropped also, meaning that there are now several electric cars with price tags around $30, 000.

Will the trend continue? Signs point to yes many automakers like BMW and Kia are just starting to release electric cars,

and over the next few years there will be more electric and plug-in hybrid models to choose from than ever before.

One issue holding electric cars back is the lack of EV infrastructure, but cities all over the world are installing charging stations.

That's why Poland's Ideabank turned four BMW i3 electric cars into mobile ATMS, dispensing cash to customers via a mobile app, reports Carscoops.

But electric cars create challenges for grid operators. Because they draw so much current during charging, there is the potential to overload circuits that serve neighborhoods.

Charge-discharge capacity has a lot to do with the lifetime costs of things like electric cars if you could regularly drive an all-electric car for several years without much real risk of having to replace the battery pack,

electric cars would become much more affordable over their full lifespans. Fully alternative technologies, from carbon-based batteries to supercapacitors to mini-nuclear charging,

when electric car sales so far come nowhere close to justifying it? The project seems more puzzling in light of the hard times at other electric car battery factories in the United states. In 2009,

because electric car sales have been slow. All of the battery makers involved have struggled (see oo Many Battery factories, Too Few Electric cars,

and one, A123 Systems, went bankrupt. Musk is betting that Tesla can generate a much bigger market for electric cars.

To keep the factory humming he will have to sell more than 10 times as many electric vehicles in a year as Nissan managed last year

(and Nissan has sold more electric cars than any other automaker). Musk has some reason for confidenceast year Tesla sold as many electric cars as Nissan in the United states,

even though Tesla Model S costs two to three times as much as Nissan electric car, the Leaf. He seems to be betting that a huge factory will significantly reduce the cost of making batteries,

which remain the most expensive part of electric cars. In the ideal scenario, that cost reduction would help Tesla produce a mass-market car similar in cost to the Nissan leaf or Chevrolet volt but that,

crucially, will be able to go more than twice as far on a charge (the car would also be able to accelerate faster than the Leaf).

Then we add in electric cars, which are now on the same path converting a staid, slow moving industry (traditional auto companies like GM) into a disruptive technology-driven one (innovators like Tesla).

Electric cars will accelerate the end of fossil fuels by joining with renewables to create a system shift,

This would then unleash a huge political and commercial driver for growth in electric cars with the utility sector providing infrastructure to use their product

and lobbying for electric cars (to also protect the grid). Within a decade, electric cars will be more reliable,

cheaper to own and more fun to drive than petrol-fueled cars. Then it will just be a matter of turning over the fleet.

Other companies like utilities and auto companies, meanwhile, have great options like taking away a large share of the oil industry market with renewable powered electric cars.

The obvious example is utilities promoting electric cars as an enormous new market opportunity, which will assist them in avoiding the eath spiralthreat posed by the end of centralised generation.
