Here you will find two alternative works. These are the jobs that you will have to do only if you have not done or completed your research work or your original thinking at its due date. Your teacher will let you know whether or not you should do this work as well as the new due date.
Research work
Please answer the next three questions as a paragraph.
1. The automotive industry is slowly converting to electric vehicles. There is currently a wide range of vehicles that use electric motors to help reduce their fuel consumption. Please explain the difference between a hybrid system (eg Toyota Camry Hybrid) and a long-range electric vehicle (eg Chevrolet Volt)
2. Elon Musk is one of the main characters responsible for the sudden movement towards fully electric vehicles. Give me a little history about this man and his journey to become the man and the company he set up.
3. China is by far the leader in electric vehicles. What have they done in this country that promotes such growth of the electric car?
Reflection work
Now that electric cars will be part of our future, tell me what infrastructure will need to be put in place for countries as big as Canada and the United States? Will the country overcome the demand for electricity? Will cars be able to travel across the country? Should we change / change the way we live?
