Electric Cars

Electric Cars were once more popular than internal combustion engine cars. Electric cars were among the first cars produced, but the limited state of battery technology meant that electric cars couldn't go very fast or very far so the internal combustion engine vehicles became more popular. this loss of the electric car to the internal combustion engine car was a loss for the environment as well as electric car produces, but the true scope of the environmental damage wouldn't be known for another eighty years or so.

Due to the current concerns about global warming and internal combustion engined cars' contribution to that problem, there is renewed interest in electric cars. Electric cars are cleaner and quieter than internal combustion cars. Electric cars have a lot of other more technical advantages over internal combustion cars, but the electric cars have always suffered due to battery technology.

Electric cars are designed to run off of energy that is stored in onboard batteries. Until recently, these batteries have been big and heavy and quick to run down and slow to recharge, all of which has made electric cars a less than viable alternative to internal combustion engine cars. But advances in battery technology point to a very promising future for electric cars. If the batteries can be made smaller, lighter, longer lasting and quicker to recharge, the electric car has a good shot at replacing the internal combustion engine car and that would be a very good thing for the environment. Even with the current electric car using polluting coal powered electric generating plants to supply their electricity, they are still less polluting than internal combustion engine cars and electric cars can now be recharged from sources using renewable resources to produce energy.

Electric cars can now be recharged at a person's home from their own solar powered electric generator, which means that electric cars can be far less polluting than internal combustion engine cars and electric cars, overall will have a much lesser effect on global warming.

Our world will be so much better off without the internal combustion engine car. Electric cars will be whizzing silently around our neighborhoods and electric cars will not be poisoning us or the environment in the process. Electric cars will be cleaner, quieter, and safe for us all. And the electric car of the future will not have to sacrifice speed or range to bring us all of these advantages.
