Keeping in mind the popular trend of sustainability, many people are switching to electrical vehicle. Unlike popular misconception, these vehicles are neither over expensive nor less functional. The little disadvantages that they have would disappear when they would become as popular as gas or petrol vehicle. Even right now, there’s such a variety of options among the electric vehicles that it might become very hard to make a choice. Therefore, for your ease, we are describing here Personal Electric Vehicle and some other most innovative e-vehicles that are taking the market by the storm.

With ever-increasing traffic on roads, the personal means of transport is becoming popular day by day. But how about an EV, which can be snapped and carried anywhere? Keeping the pollution factor and traffic chocked roads in mind, designer Alan Fratoni has designed a compact means of transportation, dubbed the “Personal Electric Vehicle,” which allows clean and brisk commutation on packed out intercity roads.

Alan wanted to craft a vehicle which could carry a person from one point to the other, like from their home to a bus stop, metro station or subway. Normally, a person is expected to park his automobile before boarding a bus or train, but not in this case. You can easily collapse the vehicle and carry it with you with ease. You can use this vehicle as a trolley to carry luggage or for that matter of fact anything. Once you reach your destination, erect the vehicle and ride on it again.

Crafted in a sleek manner, it has three wheels that provide a great balance. You can charge it anywhere without the restriction of pumping it with life only in a garage. Personal Electric Vehicle is an answer to all the short distance travel, and that too the eco-friendly way. Easy to charge and comfortable to ride, it will roll into your heart in no time.

Electric Vehicles have suddenly conquered the minds of people with their charm. Taking the impressing spree a step further is Chris Daisy who has designed an electric car named ULEV: Ultra Light Electric Vehicle. As the name suggests the vehicle has been designed keeping in mind that its weight should be less than 600 pounds, which is just a quarter of what other cars in this category weigh.

All the parts including unibody shell, chassis, roll cage, suspension linkages, hub shells, fenders, fairings and spoiler have been made out of carbon fibre which drops down the overall weight of the vehicle even further. The designers are making gret efforts to carve the car in a unique yet eye-appealing manner. Cutting down on weight doesn’t mean that the designing will suffer at any cost. ULEV is apt for today’s internet crazy generation. It has varied entertainment and internet surfing options, touchscreen displays along with voice commands. To help the driver pay attention on the road, joysticks have programmable hotkeys.

Another vivid feature is its flexibility to drive from both sides. It feels more like enjoying a video game and not stressful. The wheels are not hefty at all. They have a very trim shape. An internal disc brake and electric motor couples directly with the wheels. The motor takes care of the braking mostly and offers extra charge to the batteries. When the weather gets pleasant outside, driving in a closed car acts like a mood spoiler but ULEV will make sure you enjoy every bit of the charming climate. Both the doors of ULEV can easily fit behind the seats that allow you to interact with the weather outside.

ULEV, despite its lightweight will offer you all the comforts that a gasoline operated vehicle does.
