Ford Motor's Survey On EV Usage Shows a Bright Future For Tesla As Well

The auto making giant has done a survey which shows how much the electric car users seem to be satisfied with the new technology and do not wish to go back to fuel driven cars again.

Fords Motors has recently ran a survey to know how much the electric vehicle users seem to be satisfied with the new technology that they are being offered with by the auto-making giant and the results that were received turned out to be quite satisfying.

According to a review article published by PlugsInSights, it was seen that the electric car culture is slowly becoming quite a favorite one of the users which shows that the industry has got a lot of potential for future projects as well. The analysts believe that this survey has not only helped Fords to know the future of the smart hybrid cars, but it has also proved to be something that Tesla Motors just needed to know.

The result of the research that have come around shows that most of the EV users and drivers have shown to be positive about their smart cars and believe it to be a better experience that the one they had when driving manual gas driven cars. To be more specific, out of all the electric and hybrid car drivers, around 92 perfect has shown interests in buying another EV in the coming years as the electric battery experience for them was one of the kind.

It is not a hidden fact that all around the world, the increasing use of electric vehicles has shown how much the customers seem to be liking them over the usual cars and more and more seem to be choosing an EV over a gas driven one every day. Some analysts believe that the fact that so many other auto makers in the industry are working towards production of an electric car could result in an increasing pressure on Tesla; the company which initiated the manufacturing and designing of the electric cars in the first place but little do some analysts know that the firm has always aimed for a society that uses electric cars more than the fuel driven cars and to it, it does not matter who is producing them.

Elon Musk’s firm expressed how it wishes to have around 500,000 electric cars on the road by the time its 2020 and if things go according to plan, and more and more firms are seen releasing their own electric car, it is expected that the electric car engine initiators might actually end up achieving their target.

Tesla seems to be on top of the game but for companies like Fords, the green vehicle that the auto giant is manufacturing might end up being dominated by Model S of Tesla’s which has received massive support and popularity since the time it was launched.

Tesla Motors's Liquid-Cooled Charger Cable Means Quicker Charge Time

Tesla Motor introduces its latest innovation, liquid-cooled Supercharger cables.

Tesla Motor Inc’s new liquid-cooled Supercharger cables are reported to result in quick charge time. Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced in the latest annual shareholder’s meeting, held on June 9, that the company has "just introduced" the new charging cables in a bid to cut back on EV charge time, reports Greencarreports..

Mr. Musk, the CEO of electric vehicles manufacturing company said that the latest, thinner, and more flexible charging cable "have the potential for the increased power of the Supercharger long term." It is widely believed that the innovative technology will help reducing energy lost by way of heat; the cooling mechanism will result in a lighting fast-charge time, saving the driver’s time; increasing convenience.

Although according to recent Tesla Motors reports, Mr. Musk refrained from providing more details as to how many liquid-cooled charger cables will be installed or by when will the installation process be completed, but reports claim that the first such charger cable has been installed at the Supercharger station close to the Model S maker’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California.

The latest liquid-cooled charging cables coupled with Tesla’s increased number of supercharging stations in the country will prove to be a bonus selling point for the company to market its EVs even more. The move is likely to turn into Tesla’s favor as the company is all set for a Model X, Tesla’s crossover offering in the next few months, greater convenience in charging the EV help the company to attract more consumers.

Despite the company’s effort in streamlining its EVs into the industry, some analyst still argue if the high-speed superchargers will ever be able to fully compete with a quick gasoline fill up, which offers a much greater milage figure as well coupled with a massive network of gas stations around the country.

In other news, the EV maker was reported to be in line in achieving its goal of introducing its mass-market Model 3 in 2017. However, the recent development in the news is that the chief technical officer, Jeffrey B. Straubel, stated that the entry level EV will be available in two variants, sedan, and crossover, as well in a bid to capture a wider audience.
