The paper adopts the Well to Wheel life cycle research method and analyzes the energy efficiency between conventional vehicles and electric vehicles. The calculating results indicate that the WTW energy efficiency of electric vehicles is 2.4 times of that of conventional vehicles, and the widespread application of electric vehicles is environmentally and economically feasible and practical. Then the paper establishes the Game Theory Analysis Model between government, electric vehicles manufacturers and consumers, and analyzes the interactive relations when electric vehicles are widely applied. The research indicates that government should continuously invest money to support enterprises to develop new types of electric vehicles, enlarge the scale of environmental publicity, and encourage consumers to purchase electric vehicles. Finally the paper conducts a research on the future changing tendency of American automobile industry, proposes a development planning of alternative energy sources to deal with the problem of power supply, and predicts that by 2050, electric vehicles would be widely adopted and save 280.88 million tons of petroleum annually.
Keywords:Electric vehicles;Life Cycle Assessment;Well to Wheel;Game Theory Analysis Model
