Auto companies, power generators and politics ringing the end of the petrol era. The future belongs to the electric car - if finally batteries would be cheaper
It looked like an accident, the Federal Environment at the British Embassy unterlief. During the presentation of Germany's first major experiment with electric cars in Berlin zwängte is Sigmar Gabriel for the photographers and camera men behind the wheel of BMW's Mini strombetankten - and then, despite fierce pressing the button side window down. "No power" joked the British Ambassador Sir Michael Arthur - and had to laugh at his side.
Gabriel's mishap actually revealed a great advantage of the new generation of electric cars that will soon fill the German roads should: complete silence in their operation. So Gabriel could not hear that the E-mini did not start was when he served the windows. Gabriel took it sporty, opened the passenger and settled by BMW boss Norbert Reithofer the technique of in Oxford produced electric car to explain. "The lithium-ion batteries enable a range of 250 kilometers at a maximum speed of 152 kilometers," said Reithofer.
The electric car, for years an exotic hobby laughed inventors has done it. Although it rolls so far hardly on the road. But the key players - car manufacturers, politics, power companies - want to join forces with the change. Germany, where inventors like Nikolaus August Otto, Rudolf Diesel, Carl Benz and Gottfried Daimler modern mobility with internal combustion engines have invented, would also in future electric front spout.
By 2020, according to the federal government will one million e-cars whir through the streets, ten years later five million. It was at the "National Strategy Conference Electric Mobility formulated. The car is good even without combustion as a vehicle in times of climate change. According to a study by the consulting firm Goetz Partners could Stromrasern with up to 41 percent of the CO2 emissions of the car industry can be reduced. However, it is assumed that from 2025 already 14 million cars with power drive through Germany. That would be 32 percent of the car fleet.
An unrealistic value when you consider that 2008 the kick with 50 electrically operated Ministry in Berlin is being made. But many researchers and experts have electronic mobile future before eyes. "Life in the cities will be pleasant in the future," believes, for example Wietschel Martin, Head of Energy Business Unit at the Fraunhofer Institute. Even the industry of renewable energies have great expectations. What would be better for it than the new electricity-eater with clean energy to feed?
Hermann Albers, President of the Bundesverband wind, urging the federal government: "The future cabinet decision of the Federal Government for Electric Mobility must clearly see that electric cars only environmentally friendly drive, if they proceed with renewable electricity."
Similar floats well before Gabriel. He enthused in Berlin that the batteries of millions of electric cars in the long term memory is the ideal night for surplus energy from wind turbines could be. But such euphoria is premature. Until the internal combustion era without much work must be performed. Lithium-ion batteries currently cost around 10 000 euros. That makes electric cars expensive. And also the power grid is still not fit. "The automobile companies have no idea of the problems of the current economy, when in fact millions of electric cars drive through the streets," says Fraunhofer Wietschel man. "The network would probably collapse if millions of cars simultaneously at outlets or abgestöpselt be."
Similarly, the Carolin Reichert, head of the department stores in New electricity company RWE. For this reason, it seeks to create an alliance of the largest providers in this area. And she has success. The energy companies have dealt with the major car farmers together to set standards. It must be clarified, such as a car power outlet should look like, what benefits must bring a battery and how the scheme should be technology.
In these talks are Volkswagen and General Motors just as involved as the German utility E.on, the Italian Enel or the Swedish group Vattenfall. It is not yet clear which technology at the end of the race makes. RWE / Daimler and Vattenfall / BMW rely on cars, which only operated with electricity, so-called full. However, VW jointly works with E.on to rolling plug-in hybrids. Meaning: The car can flow from the outlet tank, for emergency but also as gasoline continue.
One thing is certain: A powerful alliance of the largest industries in Europe, the new electric machinery to enforce. "Whether we will one day electrically powered cars, is no longer the issue - but only when," said E. ON chief Wulf H. Bernotat on the strategy conference on electrical mobility.
The enthusiasm is understandable. Indeed, both for car makers as well as for electricity companies will open up interesting prospects. Some vehicles may build for the future, if gasoline should be unaffordable. The occupying an entirely new business, produce electricity for transport, gas stations might operate in the future.
In the next few years, these alliances visible. Until now, it is known that RWE with Daimler in Berlin, a test fleet of 100 cars in Berlin wants to build. To use the new e-Smarts with energy to invite RWE has also undertaken a chain of 500 gas stations in the capital hochzuziehen. Vattenfall is planning the same with BMW. In the spring, 50 electric-Minis at the start. Peak: 152 miles per hour. Range: 250 km. Similar partnerships are likely to follow in other cities. Firstly, the suitability of the current cars in practice and the acceptance of the customers out. And does it want the people?
Still feel many motorists by the comparatively modest ranges of Mobile Electric off. These industry studies have found that an average user on the day his car up to 100 kilometers moves. It would therefore completely insufficient, his car overnight at the outlet to stop, to always to be mobile.
