Persuasive Essay On Electric Cars

The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, is now being offered with a diesel engine. This is the Duramax four cylinder, 2.8 liter. Chevrolet insists that this is the cleanest car they have ever produced. They have gone the extra mile to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions as well. GM has stepped up their game, not just with this truck, but with the GMC Canyon, that is almost exactly like the Colorado. The Canyon and Colorado have pumped life into a dormant market (mid sized truck). So much so, that truck buyers are buying this, rather than a bigger, full size truck they normally would have bought.

We currently use fossil fuels as are primary source of energy, but they are running out. In addition to that, they pollute, resulting in global warming. Humans have thought of many brilliant ways to save energy and earth, such as hydro electricity, nuclear energy, and windmills. Out technology is related to saving the millions of gallons of fuel used on cars each day by adding solar panels on the roof of a car. We chose this because cars use a lot of fuel. All this use of fuel is bad because we are running out, and we don't want fuel to run our and we are unprepared. Right now, we are using a phone which is slowly running our of battery. Since we have no alternative, we basically have no charger for your phone when battery runs out. According to the United States Energy Information Administration, we use 391.73 million gallons of gasoline a day(On average) in the U.S. alone. That is how quickly we are losing fossil fuels, so we need to run cars in another way.

The world produces around 85 million barrels of oil each day. About a quarter of that percentage goes to the United States of America, which is used up mostly by means of transportations. Most people get around from place to place using a car, a car that is powered by fuel. Everywhere one goes driving, they will eventually run into a gas station but not a charging station for electric cars. Regular cars, burn off fuel that produce emissions (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) that pollute and harm the environment. Although, there are some positives about switching there are also some problems that could appear but could be fixed. Electric cars have the potential to reduce the amount of pollution in the environment, boost the national economy and help

When it comes to gas powered cars, there are some reasons why it’s morely prefered. First of all, the electric car is still relatively new, while gas powered cars have been around since the beginning. The transition to an electric car may not be so easy, as having a gas car is what everyone is used to. The gas powered car can also travel longer distances, due to having more power than an electric car as an electric car can travel about 100 miles in one charge. However there are many other reasons why an electric vehicle is the better choice for transportation purposes.

Looking around, you may notice the sudden surge of sustainable engineering all around you. From new LED light bulbs, to many different kinds of robots this epidemic is sweeping the world more and more. While we are slowly shifting towards new technologies, there is one that has gained extreme popularity over the past couple of years. It is electric cars. Going a few years back to 2010 there were a few companies introducing their first models of electric cars, but almost no one was interested in buying them, and some people even hated the idea of driving one. Since then many aspects have changed and electromobility has become one of the most debated topics in car industry. So what are advantages and disadvantages and why are they so popular now?

courteously present their electric car and entice you to commit to them with their “Gasoline cars are bad for the environment, so go electric...”. It’s not as if one time is enough, either! They show it the first time: okay it catches my attention. Oh wait. There it is again. And again. And again. I’m sick of it! You see, what these self-proclaimed environmentalists don’t observe is that the gasoline-powered automobiles have no proper solution yet. The electric vehicle is simply a gimmick that has been actively conning consumers for years. Yet none of us consumers have batted an eye and reconsidered this evolving movement? Most of us are idiots.

Electric cars impose a serious risk on the oil and gas industry. The extent by which this market succeeds reciprocally defines the extent by which the oil and gas industry deteriorates. As with all forms of technology, there comes a point in time where one form of technology no longer appears to be useful in comparison with an applicable alternative. The current inhibitors of electric car adoption are the price of batteries and vehicle performance. With that being said, battery prices dropped over 30% just last year and are expected to continue dropping. Projections estimate that 35% of cars will have a plug by 20401. However, even in the next few years, companies such as Tesla, Chevrolet, and Nissan plan to offer electric cars on the market at an affordable price. The question then becomes: when the oil and gas market will be displaced by the electric market? If both markets produce a vehicle of similar price and quality, then it is reasonable to assume that a customer will choose the option that is more eco-friendly. The moral issue still remains: should the vehicles of tomorrow be fueled by gasoline or are viable options readily available and acceptable?

This year more than a million electric cars were sold. It is on 60% more than last year. (Lorraine Chow). And half of them were bought by China. (Frank Holmes). But regardless of all the sales, electric cars are still only 0,2% of all cars in the world. (Megan Geuss). There are more than 17,000 charging stations in US, about 150 of which are in Iowa. (Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locations) And governments want Electric cars industry to grow. The most popular Electric cars brand received almost 200 million dollars from State Department and 1.3 billion dollars from Nevada State to build a massive battery factory (Harry

How would you like to never have to pay for gas again? With gas prices always changing you never know how much money you are going to be feeding to the pump. By trading your car in for an electric powered car, gas will be one less thing to stress about. By making this change you can save the money that you would be spending on your gas guzzling car and put it towards something else. There are many types of electric cars to choose from, ranging from the standard Nissan Leaf at $30,000 to the luxury BMW i8 at $145,000. Not only would you be saving yourself time and money by going electric, but you would also be taking a stride towards a better planet.

People have numerous reasons as to why they do not want to make the lifestyle change of switching from vehicles that use gasoline to electric vehicles. In Graham-Rowe’s article, people are often concerned with their car battery running out while they are driving. People often cannot easily adapt to huge changes. Owning an electric car vehicle is much different compared to owning an internal-combustion engine car. So how can we make this change positive and easier to jump into? Electric vehicles are typically more expensive than cars with internal combustion engines (144-147). This leads me to another question, is there a way to make electric vehicles more affordable? How can car industries minimize costs? If electric cars are more affordable, maybe more people will be

Electric cars are becoming more and more a part of the world today. Society can see them everywhere, from the streets to TV. Car companies like Nissan and Chevy have their own line up of electric cars that perform well. Now one of the most popular car companies, Tesla, can make the Lamborghini of electric cars. To help lower emission levels and jumpstart the industry, the federal government offers a $7,500 tax credit for buyers of pure electric vehicles (Schaal, 2015). Which brings up some common questions; are all these changes in the car industry a good change from the traditional gas engine and are electric cars truly better than Gas powered vehicles making gas powered vehicles slowly become obsolete. Electric cars barely have any maintenance needed compared to gas powered vehicles. Emissions

Across the world and for years governments have promoted the usage, production, and purchasing of electric vehicles. The first big push for electric vehicles was in 1998 in the state of California with the mandate that stated, “ a small percentage of vehicles sold after 2000 [ must have] zero emissions”( Baumgartner et Gross 35). This pushed many small and large vehicle companies to begin to look towards producing hybrid and electric vehicles. Another big push for electric vehicles in the United States was in 2005 when soon to be President Barack Obama advocated that” the United States [would] have one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015” (Barkenbus 56). Despite this goal never being met, without a doubt it promoted and furthered electric vehicles. Outside of North America in Europe, electric vehicle incentive is also prominent. Writing in October of 2000, Jack Barkenbus states “France is likely to be at the forefront of advocating electrical vehicle usage because of [their] nuclear power” (Baumgartner et Gross 35). This prediction was correct France now offers recharging services for electric vehicle owners. Another European country offering an incentive for purchasing electric vehicles is Switzerland. “Switzerland rewards individuals who take part in [electric vehicle promotion] by offering direct subsidies when buying a car”(Baumgartner et Gross 36). All of this incentive and promotion has been worthwhile, writing in 2017 Jack Barkenbus states that, “thirty percent of all new cars sold in the last quarter of

Imagine, after coming home from work, you just plug in your car battery to an outlet in your garage, and then the next morning, your car is full of energy. You would not be late because you never have to stop by any gas station to fill up the gas tank, and you could save money for gas each week. You would not see smoke from the tailpipe and your car is quieter. That image sounds great, and those are benefits an electric car could bring to us. Those are also the reasons some people support electric and hybrid vehicle. The Obama administration has set a national goal of one million electric cars on American roads by 2015 and this goal was supported with $5 billion in taxpayer dollars. As taxpayers, we have plenty of reasons to be concerned

When I was in high school, I was called upon by my science teacher to develop and explain an exhibit called “Propeller Powered Car”, for our annual school science exhibition. I always enjoyed science and being a good student, I was confident of the theoretical explanations. What I was nervous about was about the interactions with other competing students, visiting friends and family and most of all, to present the topic well and not let down my teachers and school. I practiced my material several times and made it so that visitors could do small experiments to practically understand concepts of Newton’s Laws of Motion, acceleration and friction easily. The project turned out to be a great success and my work was appreciated. That day, I realized that practical knowledge can lead to an in depth understanding of concepts. I also understood that these small experiments I designed to explain fundamental physics was in action on a much larger scale in all sorts of industrial machinery. It’s nearly a decade now since that day; my interest in machines and how they are designed and their workings is still on an upward trajectory. I have always made an effort to understand the mechanism of various components of machines. Seeing this, my father took me to visit his factory; it was the first time I came across large machinery working synchronously and systemically and on such a large scale. I scored 83.25 percent in my high school leaving exams and knew that I

Just about everyone wants a car but no one Wants to pay for gas well now thanks to technology we don’t have to yes thanks to the discovery of the electronic car people can travel solely on the power of electricity but most people say that Unless some new type of battery is invented these electronic Car are nothing more than a dream but these are far more than a dream and very much so a part of reality But what does the future hold for these cars
