▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that electric car will
soon replace the conventional one. However, in my opinion, it will take a long
period of time for electric car to replace the conventional vehicle. There are
some reasons for that. Firstly, this is because of political pressure of
conventional industry related ordinary vehicles on the government not to permit
the advance of electric car. Next, the another reason is entering barrier of
electric car, which make the introduction of electric car to market more
difficult.
To begin with, there is political pressure
of conventional car industry on the government not to permit the entrance of
electric vehicles. The conventional vehicle industry will make a large amount
of effort to retard the entrance of a new transportation, electric car,
although they have developed the proto type of electric vehicle. As they do so,
they can earn more time to develop the more sophisticated form of electric vehicle
and prevent the abrupt changes in vehicle industry, which eventually reduce the
money for entering the new market. For example, General motors made an effort
to retard the introduction of electric cars to US because they are not prepared
for new transportation means and so, they are more likely to fail in new market.
On top of that, the entering barrier of electric
car is not affordable to automobile company which try to introduce their new
transportation means. There is always entering barrier in any industry,
however, in particularly, the entering barrier of electric car is much higher
than the other industries because many issues, such as gas station, engine
industry, or catalyst industry, are associated with conventional automobile. So
It is more likely for the electric car company to be burdensome for entering the
ordinary automobile market.
Therefore, I think that it will take a long
period of time for electric vehicle to replace the conventional one for the following
reasons, firstly there will be political pressure on the government not to
permit the advance of electric car by conventional automobile industry and
secondly, the high cost of entering the ordinary market, namely, the high
entering barrier for electric car will retard the introduction of them. |
