Kevin BaloyraMs. JacominoEnglish 94/10/14The advantages of electric cars Electric cars have recently been introduced into the automotive world. They are very fuel efficient while retaining all the practical features of a regular car. They are silent and produce no emissions. They are also cheaper to maintain and own than a gasoline car. Even if car enthusiasts don't like the idea of ​​going all-electric, it's a very conscientious choice. Electric cars may seem like an unnecessary form of transportation, but they offer features that help keep the Earth clean. Electric cars help reduce emissions because they have completely clean engines. Over time, emission standards increase and will become more difficult for automakers to meet. Electric motors will still emit zero emissions and automakers won't have to spend extra money to make their engines cleaner and more fuel efficient. Originally, when the internal combustion engine was invented, pollution was not a problem. After hundreds of years and the creation of many combustion engines, all the exhaust gases have accumulated. Today, pollution is one of the biggest problems facing our environment. Every year, the average mileage traveled increases for everyone. When this increases, pollution also increases. Toni Marzotto, in “The Evolution of Public Policy: and the Environment,” explains how air pollution will continue to increase: The OTA said that, based on current population and travel trends…the Number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) nationally is expected to increase 2 to 3 percent annually by 2005, resulting in a cumulative increase of approximately 40 to 60 percent. Clearly, the growth of VMT could have a major impact on traffic flow in urban areas, as well as air pollution (84).Electr...... middle of paper .... ..a feeling of assurance and confidence that even if their car battery is low, they will have the option to recharge it and keep driving. Currently, a full charge takes a long time, but as technology advances, this charge time will most likely be reduced to a much more reasonable time. There is no doubt that electric cars are the most attractive means of transportation in the world. They provide two of the most important key points of good transportation: reliable and efficient. They are reliable because of the simplicity of their powertrains and the technological advancements they have. They are efficient because they do not use gasoline and because their engines can meet the zero-emission standard. Even though they may seem like a boring means of transportation, they offer good features that help keep Earth's air clean and reduce pollution..
