Electric Car Benefits

1
As a driver who received their drivers license
in the year of 2008 I remember the high cost of
gasoline, and wondered what if I had a hybrid or
electric car.
2
I thought to myself would I really be saving
money or doing anything really work while for the
environment.
3
Could there possible be some subtle benefits that
I wouldnt notice.
4
It turns out one of the biggest environmental
benefits or driving an electric car versus a gas
car is that electric cars on average only produce
about 80 the amount of heat that gas vehicles do.
5
This means that areas where electric vehicles are
driven can be cooler than other areas by 20.
6
This has another benefit in that less money is
being used to actually cool the area where
electric cars are driven.
7
This is due to the fact that less gas emissions
are creating greenhouse gases to lock in heat and
drive up the temperature.
8
For example, in Beijing, China a study was done
to compare the difference in the in the area due
to people driving electric car versus gas powered
vehicles.
9
The study used the summertime of 2012 as their
data point.
10
The results of this study indicate that the heat
intensity of the island could potentially be a
degree lower.
11
Potentially this could have also cut the cities
carbons emissions by 11.779 tons per day.
12
Ultimately by driving electric cars instead of
gas vehicles global warming wouldnt be stopped,
but it would definitely be slowed down while a
more permanent solution to the problem that
effects the globe daily is determined.
13
The environment isnt the only one that benefits
from more people driving non gas powered vehicles.
14
Consumers of the electric car also save a huge
sum of money.
15
The way people save money is the less amount of
money that has to be spent on gas especially when
the gas prices spike like they have in the U.S.
during the time frame of 2007 2013.
16
Another benefit is the tax credit that consumers
can take the first year that they have the
vehicle.
17
A federal tax credit of 7,500 is available to
U.S.consumers of the electric vehicle.
18
The financial benefits dont stop in the United
States either.
19
The financial benefits can be found around the
world.
20
For example, in Beijing, China, for the summer of
2012 the city could have saved up to 14.4 million
kilowatt hours if more people started driving
electric cars instead of gas cars.
