Jonathan M. Gitlin an automotive editor at Ars Technica argues “that a significant majority of American car drivers could trade their traditional automobile for a battery electric vehicle (BEV) with only minimal disruption to their lives.” (Gitlin) Many wouldn't be greatly affected with their day to day life by switching to the electric powered vehicles. “The vast majority of American drivers could switch to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) tomorrow and carry on with their lives unaffected, according to a new study in Nature Energy. What’s more, those BEVs need not be a $100,000 Tesla, either. That’s the conclusion from a team at MIT and the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico that looked at the potential for BEV adoption in the US in light of current driving patterns. Perhaps most interestingly, the study found that claim to be true for various cities with distinct geography” Many people don't like a change in their day to day life, If everything is going well why would there be a need to change, It would be simply pointless, Thus by making the process of switching to an electric powered vehicle as effortless so it can appeal to most of the people that resist change but once they see the change they will never want to return to the

One would think that the more electric vehicles on the road, the less consumption of crude oil and its byproducts, and that’s not true either. By 2040, the number of passenger vehicles will hit more than 1.8 billion worldwide. In that growth, only 10% will be electric vehicles. (Kazokoglu par.1)

Introduction Gas prices rise and lower every year, there is no telling how high they will go and how much everybody will be spending for one gallon of gas to put into their car. Having a different source to power one’s vehicle would be a great alternative. Using gas causes pollution from all the carbon that is coming out of the exhaust of cars. Global warming is also causing sea level to rise which means we could use all the excess water to power cars. Having a different alternative to power our cars is a good idea because who knows when we could run out of natural materials that we use now to make gasoline for the vehicles we drive.

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.

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.
