Electric Car

Well here’s our first meaning full post. To start us off we will get into the swing of things with the electric car.
The electric car invented years ago. There are photo’s of people recharging their cars from home but why is it only now that they are coming back? Firstly we must know why they went away. As technology advanced people wanted to go further and faster two. Batteries at the time weren’t very good and electric cars didn’t go very far. When the petrol car was introduced people were amazed and they liked it a lot. Soon many people had these cars and it opened up the world through a much better and quicker means of transportation. It is only now that we are beginning to realise the effect of the burning of fossil fuels is having on our world. City’s are covered in smog and acid rain falls from the Sky’s. We are beginning to see loss of life of Earths animals as we look all over the place to find our precious fossil fuels. Gas prices are now extremely high as company’s try to pull in as much money as they can through our heavy reliance of the black gold.
People for some time now have been looking for alternatives for cheaper and cleaner ways of transportation. Many are now turning to electric cars as they produce no pollutants (Not including the burning of fossil fuels to produce the electricity). But there still lies a problem the batteries are mostly toxic and require replacing quite and are quite expensive as well as the cost of electricity. But for now the electric car remains cheaper than the gas alternative. As mentioned before it is still no better for the environment because of how the electricity is made. This has put people off as their is no point in switching as it is expensive, the car can’t travel as far as a gas car can and the pollution made by the burning of fossil fuels for electricity.
Now for the reason why the electric car is suddenly coming back. Batteries have become much more efficient. Especially with the introduction of lithium ion batteries. Though still quite expensive and the fact that every day house holds can afford to purchase solar panels. This along some government schemes has seen a massive interest in electric cars. It is predicted that in 10 years time that one in five cars will be electric.
Car manufactures have seen this interest in electric cars and many are now introducing the first versions of electric production cars.
 
It won’t be long before the electric car is hitting your driveway.
Don’t like what’s available? There are many companies out there that will take your car and convert it to electric. Some people even go as far as doing it themselves. Which turns out to be a simple and easy process and would save you a few thousand dollars not spent on getting someone to do it for you. Though make sure you have the time and the patients to wait. As it could take you years in some cases.
Look out for events in your area which will be coming soon show casing the latest electric cars on the market and remember don’t forget the solar panels if you want to go truly green.
