We had electric cars, and we lost electric cars from 1996 - 2006 because of our government, oil companies and consumers. We almost helped our air become purer and cleaner.
electric cars is an alternative fuel automobile that uses electric motors and motor controllers for propulsion, in place of more common propulsion methods such as the internal combustion engine, electric cars are specifically a variety of electric vehicle created or adapted for use on the road. Electric cars are commonly powered by on board battery packs, and as such are battery electric vehicles. Other energy storage methods that are expected to come into use in the future include ultracapacitors.
Electric cars enjoyed popularity between the mid 19th century and early 20th century, when electricity was among the preferred methods for automobile propulsion, providing a level of comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline cars of the time.
In recent years, increased concerns over the environmental impact of gasoline cars, along with reduced consumer ability to pay for fuel for gasoline cars, has brought about renewed interest in electric cars, which are perceived to be more environmentally friendly and cheaper to maintain and run, despite high initial costs. Electric cars currently enjoy relative popularity in countries around the world, though they are notably absent from the roads of the united states, where electric cars briefly re appeared in the late 90s as a response to changing government regulations.
electric cars are relatively safe since many have the standard safety features side impact bars, front and rear crumple zones, and also electric cars are relatively heavy compared to standard cars, electric cars been proven that heavier cars tend to see lesser injuries occur to its passengers compared to lighter cars in the event of a crash. this is on average safety of electric car also comes down to the manufacturer and the safety features they install. But there is no specific reason why electric cars are less safe than standard cars.
electric cars have multiple safety layers built in to mitigate any potential possibility of getting a shock from the electric car battery. More specifically, the battery pack is known as a floating system since it is kept electrically separate from the car chassis. Some other components may simply not function if they detect even a slight fault in the electricity going to the chassis.
