In today’s scenario, energy security and global warming are considered as vital parameters of concern. The use of large number of conventional vehicles on roads has caused serious environmental pollution and they consume considerable amount of energy resources. Thus solution lies in switching to cleaner and greener energy alternatives, such as electrical energy. In this paper, conventional, electric and hybrid electric vehicles are compared on the basis of efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions. For efficient comparison, three different cycles, namely, Manhattan, Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule and Arterial, are chosen. The simulation and computer modelling is implemented using the Advanced vehicle simulator (ADVISOR) platform. When Electric vehicle is tested on three different types of driving cycles, it exhibits highest efficiency and no tail pipe emission as compared to other vehicles. Thus the use of Pure electric vehicle eliminates both the problem of depleting energy resources and environmental pollution.
