Content: Clean Air in Our Neighbourhoods
If you have ever lived in or visited a major city or town, you would have noticed the poor air quality that traditional gas-powered cars and trucks cause. By switching to electric-powered vehicles, we are immediately improving the air quality in our own neighborhoods. To power our electric vehicles, we still need fuel, but by using the main grid to get this fuel, we help to make the air cleaner near our homes and offices. According to the world’s air quality index, all the high numbers come from urban areas, like Beijing and Mumbai, that have millions of standard vehicles being driven. Fortunately, for both China and India, both countries are aware of the economic and environmental benefits of electric in the foreseeable future. 2. The Rise in Popularity
Electric vehicles are not a new invention, but the technology behind them (specifically, batteries) has only recently made it a viable option for everyday drivers. Many countries have incentives in place to make owning an electric car more appealing, and this has helped to raise the number of people opting for electric over a gas-powered vehicle. In a recent Australian survey, it was found that 54.1% would choose electric for environmental reasons, while the rest voted for ease of use and the cheaper overall cost. Electric vehicle sales have grown tremendously in countries such as Norway that offers many incentives to encourage users to switch.
