The calamitous effect of the industrial revolution has had severe consequences on the environment. The development and use of electric vehicles have become almost a necessary alternative. This paper emphasizes on the use of electric vehicles and their potential in minimizing energy consumption. It also accentuates a fairly new navigation concept known as “eco-routing†of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles have received soaring attention because of the increased focus on environmental issues and sustainable energy. Their merits include low green-house emissions and lower maintenance cost as compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. It has been predicted that if the power used by electric vehicles is produced from renewable energy sources, it will prove to be a true green alternative. .Plugging into renewable energy sources outweighs the cost and short driving ranges for consumers intending to buy electric vehicles. Keeping pace with the technological progression diverse navigation systems are being proposed which aim at reducing the energy consumption and an „eco-route‟ seems just the perfect solution.
