Abstract

This paper not only seeks to motivate the people of Puerto Rico to consider the purchase of electric vehicles but also, to pursue the implementation of solar recharging stations. An evaluation of the energetic consumption of internal combustion vehicles versus Electric Vehicles (EV) was made. As well, the damage to the planet Earth produced by conventional vehicles is contrasted. The calculations necessary for the construction of a solar charging station were demonstrated based on the energy consumption. Some future research has been highlighted.
