The Benefits of Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are a great solution to the energy shortage we have in the world. Although it still requires energy (from the power station) and still pollutes (at the power station), it keeps our streets relatively clean and quiet.

Here is an article by Thomas L Clark (who already has an article her) that shows you the benefits of those cars.

Why Choose an Electric Car? Top 5 Reasons

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the advent of electric cars and the capabilities that these will offer, as well as a significant improvement on environmental factors - but even with all of this, there is a still a lot of mystery and controversy surrounding them.
Below are the top five reasons to purchase an electric hybrid car over a standard natural gas alternative.

5 - Emissions - Cars fueled by petrol are infamous for their emissions and impact on the environment. However, emissions produced by the burning of gas to produce electricity in a generation plant are significantly less than when natural gas is burned within an individual vehicle. It will also be easier to implement emission-reducing measures in a plant than in every individual car

4 - Resources - Unlike electricity there is only a finite amount of oil and there are no method for renewable sources to be implemented in petrol cars. Whilst natural gas may offer a short-term solution, electricity is a long-term resolution.

3 - Developments - As it is still in a new stage, there will be a greater focus on developing methods of increasing efficiency within these electric cars. Whilst sources such as solar and wind power are still in its infancy, there is a great deal of potential power to be harnessed.

2 - Existing transport structure - Much of the existing transport infrastructure is powered by electricity thus proving it to be an extremely renewable option. Whilst the main issue right now is usability and current models, it would be far more cost-effective to improve the electric generation process than implement environmental measures in every existing vehicle.

1 - Cost - Simply, powering a vehicle with electricity is far less expensive than powering a petrol alternative. The price of electricity will also be able to remain a lot more stable than the ever-fluctuating price of petrol.

With a slew of electric cars on the horizon, such as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Fisker Karma, all expected in this current year, electric cars would appear to represent the future of automobiles worldwide.

It is important to remember that you need a driver's license to drive any car, so you better invest in a good driving test guide for that.
