People with lung disease are especially impacted by air pollution, and more than 4 million Californians suffer from lung disease. Ozone alone causes nearly 10 percent of hospital visits for respiratory illness. Air Quality Project focused on making electric cars and other zero-emission vehicles a reality here in California. The American Lung Association is also educating the public about the health benefits of switching to ZEVs and encouraging consumers to continue demanding lower-polluting vehicles. Today automakers are producing a variety of electric vehicles including an SUV, a station wagon, and even a sports car.
Most electric vehicles accelerate just as fast as gas-powered ones.
It's also the cheapest car I've had in nearly 30 years. No oil changes. It just keeps on going. Recharging the battery of an electric vehicle is easy and convenient. A full recharge takes about five hours and it provides enough energy for some vehicles to travel about 150 miles, others require a charge sooner.
