Work Plan
The name of our group is PSJ-Recyclers. Our blog can be found psj-recyclers.blogspot.com. The members and their emails are as follow: Jennifer Richardson (jr160345@my.ncwc.edu), Susie Williams (sw105147@my.ncwc.edu), and Petrina Pettway (pp155234@my.ncwc.edu).
Our problem statement is how has electric cars made an impact on global warming?
Our purpose is look at the detail of how electric cars have evolved over the past years. We are going to look at also the advantages and the disadvantages of having an electric car.

Each member is to have their part of the body completed by November 13, 2009 at 6pm. Each paper should be emailed to the other members, by doing so this will allow each member to look at the body together so that the group can make changes at our next meeting on November 18, 2009. At this point the group will begin to write the other parts together.
Some topics to be considering while writing each individual part is as follows:
Insurance Premiums
Purchase price of electric cars vs. fuel cars.
How will we accommodate the electric cars to be recharged when we are away from home?
Leading manufacturers of electric cars
How far will we be able to ride before recharging?
How will these cars have to be maintained?

Gas vs Electricity
Gas mileage is important for conventional cars because gas costs a lot. The fortunes of economy cars, and hence the importance of mileage, have waxed and waned with the price of gas.
In electric cars, it won't matter. Electricity costs vastly less than gas and almost any electric car will score better on efficiency than a gas engine. Electric cars will likely also require far less maintenance. And, except for places Hawaii (where electricity is produced by diesel generators) the carbon dioxide emissions will be far lower with an electric car.

Battery
EVs face significant battery-related challenges:
Driving range.
Driving range.
Most EVs can only go about 100–200 miles before recharging—gasoline vehicles can go over 300 miles before refueling.
Recharge time.
Fully recharging the battery pack can take 4 to 8 hours. Even a "quick charge" to 80% capacity can take 30 min.
Battery cost: The large battery packs are expensive and may need to be replaced one or more times.
Bulk & weight: Battery packs are heavy and take up considerable vehicle space.
