The article deals with the study of vehicles impact on the environment, since one of the main causes of air pollution are cars with internal combustion engines. One of the most important measures in the fight for clean air is the creation of an environmentally friendly transport. From this point of view, the most promising is the electric car, as the only solution to the problem of atmospheric pollution. In this article, the history of the development of modern electric vehicles, the advantages and disadvantages of their design, as well as the possibility of introducing electric vehicles into everyday life are considered. After the analysis, it was concluded that, in spite of the obvious advantages and the huge path that electro mobiles went through in their development, humanity is still not ready to refuse from cars with internal combustion engines, opting for electric vehicles

The growth of breakdown in electric networks of Russia has been followed by the growth of industrial and domestic power consumption taking place in our country in the last decade. This situation is directly connected with the high percentage of outdated equipment in electric networks. Such thing as a loss of power is directly connected with deterioration of equipment and breakdown. Average losses of power in the country are at the level of 1980-s, despite the turning point to the side of reduction outlined recently. Forecasting is one of the activities that contribute to their reduction, as it allows identifying adverse trends and calculating the effect of different kinds of technological arrangements. The visible growth of interest in the intellectualization of education and in the different fields of industry should not avoid the electric power field, which is quite conservative. The development of the concept of a “smart network” and its implementation would help to improve the reliability of electric networks. One of the signs of such a network is the possibility to assess the current situation automatically and forecasting of its parameters in the future, including energy losses. This article examines the main factors affecting the value of power losses, the analysis of the most popular methods of forecasting is conducted, and conclusion about the prospects of their use to predict the losses of power has been made based on the results of this analysis
