At the beginning between 2010 and 2011, a wave of media stories articulated how Electric vehicles (EVs or just) saw a major breakthrough in 2010, with commercial success models to be released (Leaf Nissan, Ford and Chevrolet Volt). The advent of home chargers is also a great incentive to Electric vehicles adoption. More efficient battery technology is also offering better performance, and thus increasing the attractiveness of Electric vehicles.

A company that invests a lot of Electric vehicles a mainstream reality is General Electric (GE). In the second half of 2010, the technology giant announced that 25,000 Electric vehicles purchased in 2015, effectively converting its fleet to electricity. In 2010, GE researchers announced a dual battery for hybrid transit bus, the battery charges were cut by 20 percent. It combines a sodium battery and a lithium battery, a combination of acceleration of passenger Electric vehicles with an energy store that can offer large industrial batteries.

On the negative side, critics say that Electric vehicles are as green as the source of electricity that feeds into them, as they derive their power from coal fuel or electricity, they are not really green. This is a genuine concern, but some argue that even if the power that comes from dirty sources, electric cars still win compared to the average vehicle and match the cleanest hybrid. Even in the worst case scenario, the use of Electric vehicles results in a net positive emissions trade-off. In countries like China and India, Electric vehicles would increase CO2 emissions, the study says.
