It also has a long recharging time of 4 up to 6 Hours. In addition, the electric cars have a short driving range and speed, electric cars can go up to 100 mph and travel up to 80 miles (but it depends on the motor).That's not all, you also need to change the battery every 3 to 10 years. But what happens with the battery after 3 to 10 years? Electric cars are powered with a Lithium-ion battery which is unfriendly to the environment when it gets recycle, due to the toxic gases with are released. In addition, researchers have discovered that batteries using cobalt and cathodes with nickel and solvent-based electrode will affect the ecology and could produce deadly virus for humans being like cancer when it burns. Studies have also proved that electrics cars make the air

    People know that electric cars are better for the environment than your typical car that runs on gasoline, but for some reason people are still not buying them as much as they’re buying gas cars. I believe that the reason for that is that all electric cars need to charge, and they all share the same problem at the moment. They all have the inconvenience of having to charge their batteries for long periods of time. Charging the batteries is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is that the batteries take an extremely long time to charge. I am currently studying to try and become a mechanical engineer, so what intrigues me is finding ways to make things more efficient and productive, in this case with the electric car batteries.…

    Hybrids are the most fuel efficient, cost productive, low emissions, and low repair cost. Although electric cars can go one hundred or two hundred miles at the time, it take almost six to eight hours to recharge your car battery. The battery of an electric car can usually only be recharged one to two thousand times and are generally extremely expensive to replace. Traditional gas-powered cars are time-tested and work fine for anyone; however, on average most of them only get around twenty four miles to the gallon. The lack of efficiency may start to be a real pain if a great deal of traveling is required since constantly having to stop and fill up with gas will be commonplace.…

    And even if there is the use of some of the electric cars that do emit some gas because of the small tank that they have, it doesn’t even compare with the size of those Ram trucks. Another great thing about electric cars is that they can be powered by wind power or solar radiation, this means that you can use your car by absorbing the natural energy that comes from the sun or the wind. We are now capable to use…

    They can be used for commuting, long trips, or any travel purposes. The average round-trip commuting distance in the US is about 32 miles, and the average commuting time is about 52 min. Indeed, about 60% of the commuters in the US drive a distance under 50 miles (Sanna, 2005). Thereby, those electric vehicles used for commuting are idle for 22 hours a day on average.

    The first new technology, which continues to expand within the auto industry, is the use of electric motors to power automobiles with the goal of increasing overall miles per gallon. Electric motors are being employed in two ways. One being a gas/electric “hybrid” approach, where electric motors power the car at lower speeds (typically up to 20-25 miles per hour), and then the gasoline motor turns on to power the car at higher speeds. The second is a “plug in electric car”, in that the car runs completely off of electric motors and therefore must be plugged into an electrical source to recharge the internal battery stores. These new approaches to powering cars have greatly reduced the amount of emissions emitted from cars that have this…

    In 2010, Nissan released the Nissan Leaf (leading environmentally-friendly affordable family car) a so called “affordable,” an all electric vehicle that produces zero emissions and had a minimal impact on the environment. However, in reality there is no such thing as zero emission because the emission is shifted to electricity or some other source, and “it cuts little CO2 and surprisingly kills almost twice the number of people compared with regular gasoline cars” (Bjorn L, 2015). “Electric cars are essentially coal-powered cars. Their carbon emissions can be worse than gasoline-powered cars (Kholsa, Vinod). Desperate automakers, such in the recent case of Volkswagen, were caught after the carmaker illegally installed software in its diesel-power cars to evade emission standards (Farrell 2015).…

    I know most people don’t have the money to buy these electric cars yet because they are still working on making them cheaper for the majority of the public but I think in the next few years we will see these become more readily available to the public and it won’t just be a type of car the rich can afford. If everyone had these cars we would make our world a better place for the future and decent impact on our environment today and lower the percentage of pollution that is being produced by…
