Electric Vehicles are better than Gas Vehicles.

Electric Vehicles Vs Gas Vehicles In summary these are our arguments to this point. Brackets indicate which side is stronger in each section. -More Efficient (Electric) -Strength (Tied, as in electric boasts just as much power) -"The Cool Factor" (In argument) -Price (In argument) -Good range and reliability (Electric) -Pollution (Gas as stated above, but I will refute that point) -Accessibility (Gas) I will try to argue against the areas where Gas is on top. The areas that are under argument in my opinion depend on the vehicle. The next Tesla model will be within price range (not to mention it may look nice) and there are some luxury sport electric vehicles. With that out of the way I will tackle Pollution and Accessibility this round. Pollution: As stated in my first argument about pollution I noted that electric vehicles create less pollution only if their energy is made by renewable sources. Since the world is moving closer and closer to renewable energy each year electric vehicles are becoming cleaner and cleaner where as gas will always be harmful. To use Canada as an example here is what their government has to say, "The most important source in Canada is moving water, which generates 59 per cent of electricity supply." and "Electricity produced from renewable and nuclear sources is considered primary energy because it is captured directly from natural resources, while electricity based on fossil fuels is considered secondary energy because is produced from primary energy commodities such as coal, natural gas and oil." http://www.nrcan.gc.ca... So Canada is one example where they state that non renewable is secondary to renewable. This trend of renewable coming out on top isn't going away and as you can see most electricity is already made from renewable sources. To stick with Canada as an example I know that Ontario has just burned it's last piece of coal to create electricity http://www.desmog.ca.... So with all of this electricity being made from clean sources that means that electric vehicles will be so much cleaner than gas vehicles, so much so that I would say electric now wins by a landslide in this category. Accessibility: This point is Electric pro as well. "By the end of the year, the Schnells or anyone else with a chargeable vehicle will be able to drive an "electric highway" to Canada, Oregon or across Stevens Pass without having to worry about running out of juice." http://www.heraldnet.com.... With the government giving grants to get this done it won't be long before there are enough electric charging stations. The one point that really hits home is this, you can charge your electric car at home. Gas simply does not have the ability to plug into an outlet and for a small fraction of the cost of gas refill itself. So as you can see electric wins on both of these fronts as well. In a couple of years it just won't make sense to not go electric. You can get everything that a gas vehicle has except it is cheaper and cleaner for the environment to go electric. A gas car simply can't boast that it saves our precious earth the way electric vehicles do. So let me update my list. -More Efficient (Electric) -Strength (Tied, as in electric boasts just as much power) -"The Cool Factor" (Opinion) -Price (Electric): Still not convinced? "Get up to $8,500 back when you purchase or lease an eligible electric vehicle. Get up to $1,000 back on the purchase and installation of an eligible charging station." http://www.mto.gov.on.ca.... The government really wants you to save money here because it helps them reach their goal of becoming a cleaner country. -Good range and reliability (Electric) -Pollution (Electric hands down) -Accessibility (Electric) With that I will turn this debate back over to Gas, good luck!
