EVs Provide Energy Security, Aid Energy Transitions During Conflicts
Electric vehicles can improve energy security for the transportation sector due to their ability to utilize any energy source. This means that they can endure embargoes, shortages, or benefit from new, efficient powerplant upgrades.Society has had to transition from and use backup energy sources multiple times.
Why? Electric vehicles can be powered by any energy source because all energy sources can be converted to electricity. The ability to ‘plug in’ to another energy source if oil or any other energy source is in short supply is helpful. Another significant benefit is that the electricity grid in the United States is powered by several different energy sources.
In a post-fossil fuel future where oil embargoes couldn’t immobilize the population — electric cars’ ability to run on any electricity source would still be useful. For example: electric vehicles powered by the grid could utilize either solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, or any other electricity resources available on that grid. That provides a high level of energy security for the transportation sector and the ability for society to move onto improved energy sources as needed.
Electric vehicles would also become cheaper to drive if newer, more cost-effective solar power plants are installed to reduce the cost of energy over time. This means that both the cost of transportation and electricity could simultaneously benefit from grid/power plant upgrades and either keep travel/power costs down, or possibly lower them without convincing people to replace their old cars.
