Electric Cars Are Slowly but Surely Winning the Race
It’s hard to believe that back in the late 1890s car dealers only sold electric vehicles. Over a 100 years ago, the electric car outsold gasoline cars. Compared to the (organic) pollution horse-drawn carriages caused, they seemed like an amazing, clean solution. However, there was a race going on, and those in favour of gasoline cars eventually won. We now know the result of that race, and it’s hard not wish it didn’t turn out differently. Nevertheless, there is a lot we can still do, and if we join together, it may not take a 100 years to make a difference.
Let’s Hope Electric Automobiles Are Contagious
Clearly, more people need to use cars powered by electricity in order to change the environment. Being the first in your neighborhood to buy an electric car could be the start of a trend in your area as research has shown that people are more likely to install solar panels if their neighbor already has, and electric cars could prove to be just as contagious.
Why the Hesitation?
The fear of running out of power is high on the list of reasons people avoid an electric vehicle. However, it’s just a question of becoming familiar with how you need to prepare for an electric car road trip. Whether you are driving a gasoline car,

Gas stations are so common that you don’t have to think very far ahead, so it seems natural to think that there needs to plug-in stations at every corner so you can feel confident heading out in an electric car. However, what comes first: the chicken or the egg? Without the car, there won’t be a charger plug, but without a charger plug, people won’t buy cars. We have to make this change together. When parking meters and parking lots incorporate power plugs, highways are dotted with supercharger stations, hotels, restaurants, airports, grocery stores all accommodate electric cars, you’ll start to feel like the odd one out if you don’t have
