摘要: Following the zero-emission vehicle mandate of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), other states and countries are beginning to view electric vehicles as a means of reducing urban air pollution. However, duplication of the CARB mandate would face strong opposition from automobile makers and might not be effective in the marketplace. Successful introduction of electric vehicles in the short term will depend on car buyers' choosing cleanliness and quietness of electricity over the combined speed, power, range, and convenience of vehicles with internal combustion engines. This change in consumer choice could be forced by legislation or encouraged by taxes. Experience with attempts to introduce alternative fuels and to promote the use of transit can give insight into the effectiveness of different measures; such experience indicates that restrictions on the use of conventional vehicles are likely to be more effective than incentives for using electric vehicles. In the long run, electric vehicles will succeed in the market only if there is a radical shift in either technology or consumer preferences.
