Why Choose an Electric Vehicle? (EV)
Far from being a modern conception, electric cars were among the first vehicles on the road. In the formative days of the automobile, a third of cars were electric, and they challenged internal combustion engine-driven vehicles for primacy. It appears that the Electric Vehicle is beginning to show itself again!The biggest advantages of an EV - at a glance:
- You can breathe easy beside an EV - no emissions!
- Greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions if charged from coal-fired
electrical generation--(None if charged by Wind Power, Hydro Power, or Solar PV).
- No engine or exhaust noise--quieter streets and neighborhoods.
- Breaks the dependence on oil, foreign or otherwise.
- Auto maintenance is far simpler, less expensive.
- 80% of daily commutes in North America would be easily handled by
current battery technology.
- Announced upcoming new battery technologies extend the range to distances
nearly equal to a current tank of gas, and charge nearly as fast as filling with gas.
- North America already has sufficient night-time (off-peak) electrical capacity to charge millions of cars.
