Are Electric Vehicles Worth It?

 Will Electric Powered Vehicles Save the Earth, or Destroy it?


One discussion that I hear a lot of is whether or not electric vehicles are actually as good for the environment as people make them out to be. Of course, the idea of having vehicles that don't consume as much gas sounds like a good idea, but is this future as close as people make it out to be?

According to Zeke Hausfather, in his article about carbon emissions, most scientist have mixed feelings towards the carbon footprint of electric motor companies; some find that these companies are emitting less carbon into the atmosphere, while other scientist will say the opposite. It was also found that most of an electric vehicles carbon emissions come from the use of the car rather than the manufacturing process.

    I believe we do not yet have the amount of technology needed to make a full switch to electric vehicles. Ares I think they need to work on are accessibility and affordability.

        What do you guys think? Do you think electric vehicles are impactful enough for people to start switching to them, and do you think we will ever fully switch to electric vehicles?

  1. Good post. Yes, it's worth considering not just immediate emissions, but the whole carbon footprint of these new technologies. Not a simple process.

  2. One thing i like about this is how you gave good information on how electric cars can be beneficial to the society but how does gas cars have a impact on the environment and is there another way for a person to use their gas powered car if they don’t have money to get an electric? Otherwise this is very good, i never knew the impact we do to the community until now, and even me because i have a car and is harming global warming too.

  3. Great blog! It was very informative about electric vehicles. I do think that electric cars will be more beneficial for the environment and that in the future, there will be a switch from gas to electric cars.
