In recent years, there has been a surge in popularity of electrical vehicles. What are the advantages and disadvantages of EVs? Discuss and provide examples.
A preference for electric
vehicles
has significantly increased all across the world in the last
couple of years. This
essay will suggest that reduction in air
pollution and decreased reliance on natural resources
are the biggest advantages of this
, but inconvenience in transportation and the high cost of electrical vehicles
are the major disadvantages.
The main advantage of increased usage of the electrical vehicle is the reduction in the air
pollution. Using crude oil as a fuel
emits greenhouse
gases
, which have very harmful effects on air
quality. Moreover
, the emission of greenhouse
gases
is the primary cause of global warming which leads to holes in the ozone layer and drastic changes in weather conditions. In addition
to that, electric vehicles
reduce the dependency on natural resources
for fuel
, as a result
, it saves the reserves of natural resources
which can be used for future generations.
Though electric vehicles
help mitigate the harmful effects of greenhouse
gases
and save reserves of natural resources
, they are not a very convenient mode of transportation. For example
, electric cars
run on electricity and, it takes more than an hour to fully charge the batteries of the electric cars
while
for the patrol car, it hardly takes a few seconds to fill fuel
tanks. Therefore
, electric vehicles
are not very convenient for long journeys. Furthermore
, the cost of purchasing and maintaining electric cars
is 30% more than the patrol cars
.
In conclusion, electric vehicles
are very useful in terms of reducing the negative effects of air
pollution and greenhouse
gases
as well as
lessening the dependence on crude oil for fuel
; however
, they are not as convenient as traditional patrol vehicles
for long journeys and, the cost of buying and preserving them is very high.Submitted by aayushvsanghvi8 on
