Introduction
The world has been experiencing a dramatic shift in the way that we fuel our vehicles. Converting from gasoline or diesel to an alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) is becoming increasingly common, especially among consumers who are concerned about their carbon footprints and want to reduce their dependence on non-renewable resources. However, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for every driver out there—after all, some people want plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) because they can go further than traditional hybrids without needing to refuel. Others may prefer battery electric vehicles (BEVs) because they’re cheaper than PHEVs or because they don’t have access to charging stations where they live and work. Still others might opt for hydrogen fuel cell cars (FCVs) because these vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions and can drive farther per tank than either PHEVs or BEVs do on average today
The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Market Is Booming And Evolving
The alternative fuel vehicle market is booming and evolving. The first hybrid cars were introduced in the late 1990s, but it wasn’t until around 2010 that they started to gain popularity in the United States. Since then, they have become more affordable and more widely available as manufacturers have ramped up production of these models.
The EV market has also been expanding rapidly over the past decade. There were only 12,000 electric vehicles on American roads in 2008; today there are over 3 million EVs on U.S streets! This growth can be attributed to several factors: improved battery technology which allows for longer driving ranges between charges; falling prices due to economies of scale (more people buying EVs means companies can afford better materials); government subsidies for purchasing new models; environmental concerns about fossil fuels contributing to global warming; etc…
How The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Infrastructure Has Evolved
The infrastructure is growing, changing, and evolving. The alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) infrastructure has evolved over the last decade to meet growing demand for cleaner vehicles. Alternative fuels like natural gas and electric power are gaining popularity as consumers seek out ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
The AFV market is seeing some of its fastest growth in states with strong tax incentives like California and North Carolina where many manufacturers have built new factories or plants dedicated solely to producing electric vehicles (EVs).
The Future Of The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Infrastructure
The future of the alternative fuel vehicle infrastructure is bright. From an increase in consumer demand to a growth in the number of charging stations, there are several factors contributing to its expansion.
The Alternative Fuels Data Center estimates that there were more than 120,000 public electric vehicle charging ports in 2018–a significant increase from 2017’s 98,000 and 2016’s 83,000.[1] Additionally, more than 1 million electric vehicles have been sold worldwide since 2010[2], which has helped spur innovation amongst manufacturers and suppliers alike. For example: Tesla recently opened up its patents so that other companies can use them while they continue innovating themselves; BMW plans on releasing 20 models by 2025 with some capable of driving up to 600 miles per charge; Porsche plans on releasing its first all-electric car next year (it will cost around $50K).[3][4][5]
It’s time to stop being defensive about your choice of fuel.
Alternative fuel vehicles are here to stay, and the infrastructure that supports them will only continue to grow. This is a good thing for everyone involved: consumers who want to drive an alternative fuel vehicle can have their choice supported by the free market; manufacturers have a reason to continue developing these products; and governments can focus on other issues while still supporting their citizens’ right to choose how they get around town or across country.
If you’re still feeling defensive about your choice of fuel, let’s take stock of where we are:
- There are more than 1 million hybrid electric vehicles on U.S roads today–a number that continues to grow each year as more models become available at lower prices than ever before (and without government subsidies).
- Plug-in hybrids are also becoming more popular among consumers; many models now offer EPA ranges exceeding 50 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), which means drivers can go farther between charging stops than ever before with minimal impact on performance or comfort levels during everyday driving conditions.*
Conclusion
In conclusion, the future of alternative fuel vehicles is bright. The market has been steadily growing and evolving over the years, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. This means that there’s plenty of opportunity for you to get involved as well! So if you’re looking for an investment opportunity or just want to help out with something positive in this world–don’t hesitate any longer: go out there today and start driving on renewable energy!
