The California Air Resources Board has mandated that by 1998 2% of new vehicles sold in California must be zero emission, effectively, electric vehicles. This requirement is largely responsible for the electric vehicle development programs run by almost every global automobile manufacturer that does business in the United States. At present, no single electric vehicle technology, from battery type, to propulsion system, to vehicle design, represents a standard for a protoelectric vehicle industry. In this paper competing electric vehicle technologies are reviewed, leading public and private electric vehicle research programs worldwide are summarized, and the barriers faced by competing technological systems in terms of manufacturing and infrastructural requirements are examined.

With the development and extension of electric vehicle in our country, research on electric vehicle technology becomes a hot topic in recent years. This paper starts with the technical barriers from electric vehicle endurance ability and described the improving methods of electric automobile thoroughly, pointed out the existing problems in the process of application about the methods in this paper. Then put forward the application of solar energy, wind energy technology in electric cars, proposed a research direction for the development of electric vehicle. At last, the paper proposed a research direction for the development of electric vehicle.
