Firstly, what is an electric car? Petrol and diesel cars produce a lot of carbon emissions,
leaving us vulnerable to greenhouse gases and pollution. An electric car runs
of electricity leaving no pollution or greenhouse gasses. It is a great step
forward but there are two sides to the argument.
Advantages:
1. Savings: They can be fuelled for very
cheap. Some new cars might offer incentives like getting money back from the
government for making the change and going green.
2. No Petrol:With petrol prices rising
frequently, You can save quite a bit by switching to electric.
3. Emissions:They are 100% eco-friendly
and run on a clean energy source. They don’t emit any fumes or toxic gas.
4. Low Maintenance: There is no
need to lubricate the engines as they are electrically powered. Other expensive
engine work is non-existent with electric cars as well reducing the maintenance
cost.
5. Reduced Noise Pollution: Because of the
electric motor, there is almost no noise.
6. Popularity: With electric cars growing
in popularity there is a growing variety of them for you to choose from.
