Abstract :
Based on the predicted data of lightweight vehicle production from 2010 to 2040, this paper evaluates the environmental and economic impacts of widespread use of electric vehicles. In this paper, the time series, combining membership function, is firstly used to obtain electric vehicle production, and environmental impacts of widespread use of electric vehicles is described. Then, after modeling the economic benefit of widespread use of electric vehicles, the investment cost of renewable energy electricity generation and subsidy cost, the economic impacts are obtained. The result suggests electric vehicles have a promising future with numerous environmental and economic impacts.
