ELECTRIC CARS BY ALEX GAUGHRAN AND JAMES MULLEN
FACTS ABOUT ELECTRIC CARS They are heavier than gasoline cars but less noisy. They are more expensive than a petrol and diesel engine vehicles. Anyos jedlik of Hungary built a small model of a working electric car in 1828.
ADAVANTAGES These vehicles use an electric motor so it is very quiet so there is no smell and no pollution from exhaust gases. Oil for gasoline and diesel is a limited resource it will not last forever and is becoming more expensive. If the electricity for a battery electric vehicle comes from a renewable energy source like a windmill, solar cells, geothermal or hydroelectric then it will not produce many global warming gases.
DISADVANTAGES Batteries do not store a lot of energy and they are large and heavy so the vehicles cannot go very far. It takes long to recharge the battery sometimes many hours. Good batteries can be very expensive and all batteries have to be replaced after a while.
MORE FACTS ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES There is also trends towards more eco friendly production and materials for electric vehicles. The ford focus electric is made up of recycled materials and the padding is made up of bio based materials. The Nissan leaf s interior and bodywork is partly made out of green materials such as water bottles, old plastic,old car parts and eve second hand home appliences.
