Day after day, gas will be emitted into the air no matter what. Whether it’s cars or factories, they both release tons of gas into the air which causes pollution. We learned from our geography class in middle school that pollution is horrible, and it can damage the Earth’s ozone layer. With reducing pollution in mind, some companies such as Tesla, decided to address the problem by inventing electric cars. Electric cars do not need gas in order for it to run, instead, it uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries. Once the car runs out of energy, all one must do is recharge it by household electricity. Tesla Motor has been around since the past decade. Recently, one of Tesla car model beat the fastest record of ‘zero-to-60’. Tesla and …show more content…

It seems like Tesla’s four-door sedan is not in the top spot for the fastest car to reach 60 miles per hour in about 2.275507139 seconds. To give an idea how fast that is, it’s about the time it takes to pick up a penny from the floor (WSJ). The previous top spot placer was a $1.4 million Ferrari LaFerrari with a record of 2.34 seconds. Reaching 60 miles an hour in about two second is unbelievable. I honestly would like to see that happen in person. Brooks Weisblat, 43 years old, mentioned that if you’re looking the wrong way, you get whiplash and your glasses fly off your head (WSJ). It kind of sounds like going on a really fast rollercoaster, but in a …show more content…

The electric cars can “…jump off the line with surprising violence—and without making a sound” (WSJ). This is because the delivery of juice to the motor is instantaneous, and the motor reaches maximum power immediately (WSJ). Compared to non-electric cars, they usually make a loud sound before they speed off. Electric cars can out race powerful gas-fueled car from the starting line, but the gas-fueled car will eventually surge ahead. That’s one of the disadvantage for electric cars that are bought for racing purpose. Another disadvantage would be overheating the battery of the electric cars by going so fast for a long

Should NASCAR Go Electric? In the beginning of 2016, famous Scientist, Bill Nye posted a blog to Aeon describing his near-future reality of NASCAR to be a field of Tesla-inspired electric vehicle racecars gliding along quickly and quietly on the NASCAR tracks such as Talledega or Daytona, drivers amusing the crowds so much with their ecofriendly cars that they inspire all of the fans to go out and buy their very own. Bill Nye’s main argument is climate change “we have to stop, completely stop, burning fossil fuels. The obvious, straightforward, We’re-already-just-about-there answer is to convert our entire ground-transportation fleet – trains, trucks, buses and cars – to electric motors with batteries to store energy the way that gasoline

“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.

The Model S offers much more than amazing range, though. For the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive P85D, we achieved a zero to 60 mph time of 3.5 seconds, giving it the title of the quickest full-size luxury sedan we've ever tested. Tesla claims that the P90D is even quicker, with 60 mph arriving in just 2.8 seconds with the "Ludicrous Speed"

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

Off of one charge on a battery, most cars can go between one hundred thirty one hundred seventy miles. That is plenty of distance from a town in voyages and across state explorations. Speed admirers are completely against electric cars when they put a turbo in a car and make it zip down the road at 180 miles an hour. Now, these electric cars have a low top sleep no doubt, but what most don't know is that with a high torque engine due to the amount of power needed to move the giant battery, these cars can go from 0-60Mph in about “3.7 seconds” (Greenstone). That’s near as fast as a 2015 Chevy Corvette Zo6 with a “2.9 second 0-60” (Chevy) meaning it was faster than most common cars while still being completely powered by electricity making it very impressive for an electric based vehicle illustrating its efficiency and ability to maintain to its competing gas based vehicles.

This is also mainly because of the lithium-ion battery as it uses raw materials and energy is needed to build this battery. So in a way, the electric car is a step in the wrong direction to stop global warming getting worse. It is at least expected that after using/driving your car for 150,000km you get a 25% improvement but this isn’t necessarily true in many countries. Electric cars aren’t as environmentally friendly as they were set out to be as for example, in the UK, 40% of their electricity is generated from coal.

The following statistics are for traveling 100 kilometers: According to a recent EU study, by 2020, only 26 megajoules of energy will be used to get petrol out of the ground and transported to the car, but a petrol car will use 152 megajoules of energy to move itself around. 74 megajoules of energy will be used to generate electricity and transport it to the car, but an electric car will only use 38 megajoules of energy to move itself around. You’re not only helping the environment, but you’re saving energy too! Electric cars already use less energy, and that is never going to

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.

A fact for any electric vehicle is that it is dependent on the battery, which drives it, just as a petrole-um based car is dependent on its engine and fuel. The battery is, of course, what leads to the bene-fits of the electric car, like the fact that the car itself emits no CO2. But it also has some drawbacks when compared to a petroleum based car. Refuelling a petroleum based car is a simple process, simply pour petrol into the tank, it takes about ten minutes and then one can drive on. An electric car on the other hand needs to have its battery recharged with electricity, and as anyone who has ever recharged a battery at any size can attest that this is not an instant process.

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.

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.

There are numerous reasons to why electric vehicles are safer, and I’ll name the common ones. Some of us here are already able to drive but you might’ve not thought of “explosion” when driving a car or being in a car because it doesn’t happen commonly though it is something significant to be aware of as it could happen. What is the reason for explosion of motor vehicles? Well simply because motor vehicles have internal combustion engines as the engine utilises petrol or diesel which are flammable and toxic if there is a source to start the ignition. What’s best about electric vehicle is the safety system for detecting and warning the driver to stop and exit the vehicle.

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.
