Alot of the major car manufacturers are turning their sights on electric and hybrid cars and it seems it's only a matter of time before petrol and diesel cars are gone the way of the dodo. Tesla unveiled an impressive truck for transporting goods. Alot of governments and car manufacturers seem to be getting on board with going green for all the obvious reasons but how soon do you predict before electric is the norm in transportation ?
Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one ? What are your reasons for buying it ?
The electric car industry is a rising one, that is a fact. It is very good to know that a car not emitting any poisonous gas is built.
But there is still big obstacles. There isn't a developed infrastructure for battery charging, and the trouble doesn't end there.
In a study by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute conducted in 2017 is said that the Tesla car batteries aren't so "green" afterall.
According to the study the car batteries used in a Tesla generate as much CO2 as driving a gasoline-powered car for eight years.
And thats before they even come off the production line. The problem is that these emissions occur throughout the manufacturing process of the batteries.
So we have another problem. How to find a process that doesn't emit CO2. If this problem is not solved, what's the point, if the car itself is eco-friendly.
