Electric cars are safer for the
environment because they do not cause harmful conditions such as smog,
greenhouse gases, and carbon dioxide. Unlike gasoline, electric cars do
not release nitrogen oxides and unused hydrocarbons. In the
example of a 50 mpg car, and the price of gas at $4.00, the charge will
be 8 cents per mile. However the charge for an electrical car will be 2
to 3 cents a mile. Last
summer
the gas prices were high. This is the reason that some people are
trying to invest in electrical cars and
these cars might be
the future of the car industry. Even motorcycles can become electrical. What
are electric cars? Electrical
cars are cars that don’t run on gasoline but
run on a battery. It charges in your household electrical outlet.
