ELECTRIC CARS•By:
•Darren Mooney• Roland Echols •Stephen Austin
• Meaghan McBay
Why They Are Useful Can reduce carbon dioxide and other
global warming emissions. Drivers save an average of $750 to
$1,200 compared to operating a gasoline car.
Problems With Gas Cars Greenhouse Gas/Pollution 12 cents per mile
Where Are They Used? U.S. With 70% of total electric cars in
the world Japan with 16% Netherlands with 8% China, France, and Norway with 6%
How These Areas Are Benefited Electric operations reduce tailpipe
emissions, greenhouse gases, and allows the use of cleaner, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy source.
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.
Should We Use This In Texarkana Saves the environment Decreases pollution People can save money Environmentally friendly
Changing The World Electric motors produce maximum
torque Faster than a gas-powered car Easier to fuel than a gas-powered car
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.
