In July of 2016, the average daily amount that was spent was one hundred US dollars. That was an all-time high. The spending amount dropped down to ninety-one US dollars in August of 2016. A nine dollar drop in total. Americans decided to get in gear and slow down their spending.
Overall the question still remains what would be economically the best decision based on actual fact. Reading Wang’s article, it brushes the surface of what we want to hear the good things about how electric car could benefit in all aspects. Wade’s article brings up good points to counter all the possible negative economic effects. After reading both articles it brings up even more questions on what is going on behind the scenes. We all really will not know what everything is like until the time comes to when ordering a car to the driveway of our
Since electric cars are a newer concept to the market and infrastructure have not been established to support large volumes of this vehicle, new jobs will be created to satisfy the needs and demands that were manifested from switching to electric cars. Furthermore, by shifting to electric cars it will cause an increase of higher wage jobs such as the people working in research and development. More people will be hired in order to improve the quality and safety of batteries inside electric cars. In MIT’s Technology Review it explains how electric cars are unable to compete with gas powered cars due to the high cost of batteries. Presently many companies are trying
“Why Electric Cars are the Future” Introduction Attention Getter: It was Sunday at park, two college students were discussing about cars. One of them said that imagine about two decades ago, it appeared there was no effective alternative to the gasoline and oil, but now there is a better, cleaner, and more effective substitute to them: electricity. Although electric engines are not so widespread, more and more people consider changing their gasoline-fueled vehicles to electric cars. Then I discovered why electric cars are the future.
Today, we can clearly see that automobiles have changed a lot over the time duration, especially in recent years electric cars have begun selling all over the world to create a pollution-free environment, a noble goal against the effects of global warming. This action has given rise to companies like Tesla with their entire production line and BMW with models like the sporty BMW i8, or the small compact i3. Global Warming and Emission Control Recently, Elon Musk unveiled the Tesla Roadster, a 200,000-dollar vehicle capable of accelerating faster and achieving a top speed higher than any car on the planet, having the best fuel consumption as well.
Electric cars are more economically efficient than their gasoline counterparts. Beginning in 2000, the price of gasoline has reached record prices (Hawaleshka). Higher costs raise a problem, as 71% of Americans report they do not want to pay more gasoline taxes (Leiserowitz). But owning and maintaining an electric vehicle (EV) can provide a solution, saving vehicle owners money that would have been spent on gas. Paying for fuel in an electric car will cost the owner three times less than a 25 mpg vehicle running on gas priced at $2.75 per gallon (Kliesch, Electric).
Electric Cars are Better for the World and Wallet Recent innovations in automobile technology have led to much more efficient machines roaming the streets. Although this, there are many misconceptions about them, leading to the masses lack of acceptance and adoption of the money and earth saving idea. Although electric cars have their fair share of expenses and hidden fees, in the long run, they are better than fuel powered gas and diesel cars.
This is all because of global warming, and if we start switching to electric cars, we could make a big difference and maybe, just maybe the effects of global warming will decrease. If they don’t, sea-levels could rise and flood certain areas of the world. Secondly, electric cars, ironically, use less energy than gas cars to move
The age old question of electric vehicles versus the commonly used gas cars. With all the benefits of using electric over gas, it's hard to see why more people aren't using them. This is a great problem because it hurts the environment. Common things people will argue with gas versus electric are: price point, power output, and usability/practicality. People could argue over a million points on why gas is better than electric.
First of all, let’s talk about the environment. I’m sure you all know about greenhouse gases and global warming, so I won’t talk much about that, but you may not know that road vehicles produce 10% of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions. This does include vehicles other than cars like trucks, but Tesla just came out with an electric truck which is faster and can carry more weight than any petrol/diesel truck. Greenhouses gases carbon-dioxide and methane have hit their highest levels in the past 420,000 years, and the extent of arctic sea ice has declined about 10% in the last 30 years. This is all because of global warming, and if we start switching to electric cars, we could make a big difference and maybe, just maybe the effects of global warming will decrease.
Gasoline and diesel are fossil fuels and aren 't infinite. Battery electricity are better, they don’t pollute and don 't burn fossil fuels. Instead of having a gas tank and having to fill it up at a gas station, these cars have batteries in their place and can be recharged with a larger charging station and needs 220 volts. The recharged batteries stay charged until the car is driven. Some people say that battery powered cars are slower, but it isn’t by much and battery powered cars think is worth slowing down a little if it means saving the planet.
There's a lot of buzz going on about electric cars and it seems like every hipster and eco nut trying to save the environment but do you truly know what it takes to get them on the road. The process to make the batteries is a truly dirty process and it pollutes the air. Most electric cars that are available to the general public are very expensive and most of them do not have a very far range. Somewhere between a 20-270 mile range. Also you need to live somewhere there are the charging stations or have one put in at your home.
Soumya Saji Ms. Patiño English 2/16/18 Global warming as became a huge concern for today’s world. The rise of alternative fuel sources is to help this worldwide problem, as a result, electric cars have started to become a familiarity to everyday roads. Electric cars have many benefits and potentially does help with global warming, but it may not be as environmental-friendly as advertised.
A lot of people love to hear about energy efficient and environmentally friendly options out there. The electric vehicles today serve great benefits in keeping emissions down and using a more friendly alternative energy source. In my opinion they have made an impact on the environment, but a major benefit in using this alternative resource is less cost to fuel the vehicle. Gasoline is very expensive today, and using the energy that is used to power our home, is much less expensive and more available than gas. The environment, as claimed by environmentalists, suffers due to the emissions of automobiles today.
but it’s hard to make it happen and make everyone to use it because it run slower and few distance than normal car. Now a day fuel is more expensive and most making carbon dioxide in human activity [ 1] and electric car is developed enough to run on the road like normal car that we can see on the road. Thesis Statement: The Electric car have several features that make it as the future of every car. Body1 Topic sentence: Electric car did not make pollution. Support idea: zero pollution Support detail: It use electrical energy instead of fuel that not making carbon dioxide to the air or any pollution to the nature.
