But uncertainty in how environmentally and economically sound are electric vehicles still exists, and that their widespread use is feasible and practical is still uncertain. Our paper aims to quantify the effects of the electric vehicles on the environment, society, economy, health, and model the amount and the type of electricity generation to get the most benefits to the environment, society, business, and individuals. In Model 1, we establish an evaluation model named Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to compare the environmental, social, economic, and health impacts of electric cars and fuel cars quantitatively. There are four parameters, including energy consumption, the greenhouse effect, emissions of harmful substances and noise pollution, which influence the environment. Of course, we conduct the similar work to analyze the influential parameters of society, economy and health. In term of the weights, we conclude that in general electric cars are better than fuel cars. In Model 2, using data, we adopt logistic regression to predict the proportion of electric vehicles in the future on three premises which include the baseline oil price, the high oil price and Operator-Subsidized
