Tesla Vs Environment

Electric cars over the last several years have been a controversial topic. Companies have ran into issues regarding the batteries, pricing, and clearly competition with gas fueled vehicles. I noticed Tesla Motors a few years ago and instantly fell in love with their electric vehicles. Tesla managed to keep a very clean look with a sports car feel to their vehicles, and they are currently working on their new battery which is expected to last much longer. The price of their vehicles at the moment are priced higher than most average families can afford, but Tesla announced they are releasing a more affordable vehicle in 2017. Throughout the existence of Tesla they have made it clear they will not settle with just making vehicles that are in compliance with the laws set in place, their company will strive to make the best vehicles they can.

In theory, electric cars are not truly zero emissions because of the pollution that comes from the electricity generation. However, according to the article “Energy, Technology, Policy”, Kelly Rodgers talks about a few reasons why electric cars are better than gas powered. She claims that, “An electric car reduces 35-60% less carbon dioxide emission from electricity than the CO2 pollution from the gasoline of a conventional car with an internal combustion engine. The Department of Energy estimates that a gasoline car emits 75 lbs. of CO2 during a 100-mile trip, in comparison to 32 lbs. of CO2 emissions from a power plant to generate enough electricity to power an electric car for the same 100 miles.” In some areas, where they rely largely on renewable power such as solar, wind or hydro, the emissions are even further less for electric cars. As soon as we turn the key to our car, different types of gasses and particles pollute our air that create detrimental effects on the environment. One of the most deadliest to our ozone layer would be carbon dioxide. According to the environmental protection agency, carbon dioxide enters

Tesla electric vehicles from Tesla Motors are gaining a reputation as the cars of the future. These models are not only known for their luxury features, acceleration, power, and nearly silent electric engines, but also for their green appeal. Individuals who can afford the hefty price tag are purchasing these vehicles because they are classy, fun to drive, and better for the environment than the standard gasoline car. Tesla Motors are leading the way in innovation in the American car industry with their Tesla electric models.

Imagine never being locked out of your disgusting gas-guzzling vehicle in sub-zero temperatures pumping your car full of toxic chemicals and then later emptying your bank account to pay for the environment killer ever again. This reality is near and approaching faster than ever before. Although, it is not completely beneficial. It is evident that at an international level, electric cars are needed. But, this is only one side of the story, despite common belief, electric vehicles are not always good for the environment. It is true that they will benefit bank accounts, however, the only way for electric cars to improve the environment is if they are powered by clean renewable energy.

Tesla is an automobile company that designs and manufactures electric cars. Cars produce a lot of carbon emissions that are ejected into our natural atmosphere, leaving us vulnerable to things like pollution and greenhouse gases. In order to help positively the environment we live in, an electric car is a great step forward. It does not emit toxic gases or smoke in the environment as it runs on clean energy source. Electric cars are far more efficient than any other kind of car, and because they are the ultimate multi-fuel cars. The neat thing about electricity is that pretty much any burnable fuel can be converted to electricity efficiently. we can make electricity in so many different ways such as we can put a million solar panels on our

In comparison with traditional gas run vehicles, electric cars produce fewer greenhouse gases. However, these cars can cause damage, if getting the power from coal power plants. On the contrary, these cars

I recently read a nonfiction science book by Jill C. Wheeler called Alternative Cars. Many people don’t know this but electric cars were invented before gas powered cars, The first practical electric car was invented in 1884 while the gas car was invented in 1885 by Karl Benz. Cars were owned only by the rich back then and electric cars were considered ladies cars because you didn’t need to crank the engine to start it and it went much slower with a very small amount of power. Electric cars soon became rare when Henry Ford came out with the Ford Model T, which sold over 15 million cars between 1908 and 1927. Electric cars were so expensive compared to the mass produced Model T that they ceased production. The idea of electric cars came back again in the 1960s after a severe decrease in petroleum. Around this time many people became worried about pollution and sought cars with better gas millage which produced less CO2. In 1996 General Motors (GM) Mass produced an electric car they named the EV1, it became popular because it was inexpensive compared to the previous cars made. In 2004 GM gave in to the oil companies pressure to stop production and blamed their lack of consumers who wanted their product. In 2006 Tesla Motors came out with the lightweight, fast, and sporty Tesla Roadster. This was not

It is said that these Electric cars will make you save more money, but it is making an environmentally conscious decision. The EV’s will have lower lifetime cost, and as for the batteries they will become more affordable too. If the production of EV’s keep up , more prices will drop from fueling research to more productive batteries, charging stations, money saving, and most importantly saving the environment.

So we all know that cars use gasoline right? And when cars use gasoline, they create carbon dioxide which increases global warming. But when you hear about the idea of electric cars, you would be excited and you wanted to order one instantly. You were ready to abandon your old cars and soon you will be slashing your carbon footprint into that sexy new vintage Tesla Model S. But if you are selling that old car you have had for years to buy the new Tesla, all you really are doing is just buying a bright shiny eco-friendly car. Yes, it may be the new trend of the next generation, but it still has its downsides. Usually, the companies who make electric cars like to market them as the greenest object known to mankind. Yet that message they are sending

Renewable energy is usually considered the future of technology and the next large advancement for society. The main reasoning for this, as a use for vehicles’ energy, is because many people believe that renewable energy is necessary to stop climate change. And these people believe this misconception because of green house gases, which are released from the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels create most of the world’s power, which leads to the creation of green house gas emissions, which is why they are usually considered to be “bad”. Emissions from vehicles are responsible for only 14.7% of the pollution that is released into the air (The Guardian). A positive for cars that run on renewable energy is that they can be environmentally friendly, under the correct circumstances, due to running on electricity; with the exception of hybrids, which run on fossil fuels (Zumerchik, John). The use of fossil fuels in hybrids then charges the car, which allows for more fuel efficiency than the average vehicle (Zumerchik, John). Some complications that exist for renewable energy vehicles, specifically electric cars, is low energy efficiency, air pollution, fossil fuel use, foreign oil suppliers dependency, lead poisoning, and leaking storage tanks (GERMAN, JOHN M ). Using renewable energy as a source of power for vehicles is ineffective due to the creation of these vehicles harming the environment and an unnecessary change of oil dependency.

In modern times, the world has achieved much advancement in technology. With all the knowledge that people have, they are more aware of how to help save the earth’s environment for our future generations. One environmental choice is to drive an electric car versus a gas powered car. This could be one great advancement to save the environment. A lot of research and data has been collected in recent years, which may help people better understand the most efficient ways to save the environment from all the pollution of gas powered cars. With more data collected, more people are becoming conscious of the option to drive the electric car. Electric cars do not use gas that pollutes the environment, they have no tail pipes to be replaced, and they are much quieter.

Despite the costs savings for electric cars, the environmental impact of electric cars are still being debated. In the first comparison of the two vehicles we shall look at their environmental impacts. while the electric car doesn 't produce any emissions through the tailpipe lets look at how it compare in the way of how electricity is produce in order to fuel the car. In this annually pie chart you see that about fifty percent of the electrics car power comes from coal. In total the emission of carbon dioxide is roughly 8000 lb annual per vehicle compared to  conventionals average of 13000 lb of carbon dioxide annual per vehicle. So from the data (See table 1 and Chart 1 ) collective electric cars produce about three fifths of the carbon pollution of a diesel car does annual. If fifty percent of drives where to switch to electric vehicles the would be a significantly large drop in carbon dioxide put into the air and thus reduce the effects of greenhouse gases dramatically over a small interval of time.

If we could look at Tesla’s vehicle models and other electric vehicle models stripped down, with everything removed but the frame, wheels, and electrical propulsion system, we would see just how far Tesla has come in their design of the electric vehicle and how they have surpassed other car companies with their innovation. According

Under such cases, some research on the famous Tesla Motors, Inc. and its electric vehicles will be conducted in the paper. The study mainly focuses on whether the electric vehicles made by Tesla is really more environmentally-friendly as what people heard about. And will it cost too much in daily use? Although many people assume such electric cars can pollute less, a few people have another theory that such kind of vehicles isn?t as environmentally-friendly as what people expected. In a way, it makes sense because there are still

Cars are used by many people all over the world to get them from place to place. Most of these cars are powered by gasoline, some are powered by diesel, and some newly cars are powered electrically. Many people believe that electric cars can be the future of the car industry, but will most other car companies hurt from this? Electric cars use an electric motor to power the car instead of an engine, the owner of an electric car recharges the battery inside the car to power the motor. According to Tesla Motors, an electric car company, “Tesla possesses a high powered wall connector, which completely recharges the car in under 4 hours, and at max power, the high powered wall connector charges at a speed of 56 miles range per hour”(Tesla Motors “Tesla Vehicles Provide Attractive Environmental Benefits” 6). While electric cars do not have as much range as gas-powered cars, no emissions are made from the electric battery, which in result ends up benefiting to the environment.
