Mathematical Modeling: A Brilliant Future of Electric Vehicles

Abstract:

This paper analyses the factors that influence the development of electric vehicles, from the aspects of energy, power grid capacity, environment and the society as a whole. A mathematical model of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) is established to study the factors that influence the development of electric vehicles. The model reveals that the feasibility value of system reaches 0.7332, which indicates the feasibility of promotion for widespread use of electric vehicles in China.
