How Electric Cars Hurt The Environment

Electric Car production proved substantially more environmentally intensive

The global warming potential of the process used to make electric cars is twice that of conventional cars

Electric cars do not make sense if the electricity they consume is produced predominately by coal-fire stations.

Way Of The Future Can be made by wind power, solar power,

geothermal heat, etc. Will benefit from advancements in batteries,

motors, electronic management, and charging. This also dovetails nicely with the advent of more

renewable electricity generation.

President’s Goal President Barack Obama plans on having 1 million

electric vehicles on the road by 2015. Initial costs and lack of familiarity with technology

could be barriers. For that reason, President Barack Obama has

proposed steps to accelerate America’s leadership in electric vehicle deployment.
