Environmentalists and governments have long been concerned about the level of pollution from cars. As city skylines become engulfed in smog, all fingers have been pointing at gasoline engines as been the cause. Smoke from cars is also known to be one of the destructive factors for the ozone layer which protects the earth’s atmosphere. So in sum, the gasoline engine has been a source of worry.
The electric car does not have an internal combustion engine at all to produce emissions. The car runs on batteries and does not use liquid fuel. This means, there will be no exhaust pipe to emit smoke. You would also find no lubricants that could cause spillage.
Of course, electric cars produce no emissions at all. They have what is called clean emissions. No carbon monoxide to contribute to smog or ozone depletion. The car does not use liquid fuel at all so there is no combustion to produce smoke. You eventually have a clean car that leaves no hazardous substances.
To power your car you have to plug it into your wall which is powered by a coal plant most likely in the Unites States, but it is easier to monitor and clean one power plant than ten thousand vehicles.
Additionally, many people believe that ethanol is a great alternative, but what is not understood is the underlying costs of this clean fuel. Many people fail to realize that ethanol production requires diesel powered tractors. In addition, more ethanol is required to move the same distance as gas so more fuel has to be produced increasing emissions from additional tractor work.
Electric cars are also quiet. They produce no noise at all. Noise pollution is one of the major disturbances in the city and can cause partial deafness. The EV does away with noise at all. The city would be quiet once more with the electric car.
Electric cars ultimately make the earth a safe and clean place to live. Smokeless, the EV would contribute to a greener planet for everyone.
