The future of transportation in the United States is on the brink of change. This project has three main objectives. First, verify if independence of foreign oil is truly a possibility and how to accomplish this feat. Second, identify the major motivators for the American consumers who purchase these vehicles and how that can be used to increase the sales of HEVs and PHEVs respectively. The last objective is to determine the future impact of the all electric vehicle (EV). -
