Abstract

Upon the continuous rise of Egypt’s population, Egypt today confronts a rational pollution issue. Nevertheless, this paper is targeting a specific pollution cause, which is harmful gas emissions of conventional vehicles that are significantly increasing in number with the rapid rise in residents. This paper proposes a plan for converting transportation in Egypt from petroleum-based to electric-based. This paper is reinforced by statistical data of the number and types of various vehicles currently present in Egypt. Fortunately, Egypt is moving fast forward in the direction of renewable energy sources, such that the country would have clean sources of electrical power along with traditional sources which provide purpose to our proposal. This plan comprises of two main aspects, one of which is the infrastructure of power stations that would be developed taking into consideration the radial distance between the stations and the Electric car average range. The relevant location is also chosen based on expected residential distribution and positions of commercial, educational as well as tourist institutions. The type of charger in the station either AC or DC is chosen pertinent to location. A virtual map would be designed relative to the designated locations of the power stations. The other aspect of the plan launching electric vehicles to the market without over-satiating streets with cars. Applying this plan will help Egypt avoid the expected energy crises upon reaching the year 2030.
