Environmental Benefits of Electric Vehicles
July 19, 2018

Electric Vehicles

In the period running since the past ten years, there has been an effort to switch to renewable sources of energy. Electric vehicles are one of the breakthroughs that breathe hope in this pursuit. Compared to gas-powered alternatives, electric vehicles are more efficient and have been shown to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. On average, they also need less maintenance since not many moving parts are involved that you need to worry about. To the environment, this has been a great milestone, which has come with some of the environmental benefits mentioned below.

Less pollution

Renowned scientists agree that pollution has been a big factor in climate change. One benefit with electric cars is that they don’t pump out harmful gases into the atmosphere. Even plug-in hybrids that combine electric motors with a gasoline engine have proved to help reduce emissions considerably. But with complete electric vehicles, you are guaranteed zero tailpipe emissions, which is good for the environment. Having more electric cars on the road mean air quality will improve and many of the diseases that are caused by breathing unclean air might be easily prevented. This shows championing for the adoption of electric cars comes with a big incentive for the environment.

Renewable energy

With the development of electric vehicles has come the need to also champion for the development of renewable energy sources. This further reduces greenhouse emissions as you are able to recharge your electric vehicle using a solar PV system. The electric vehicle technology has also extended to the development of small electric vehicles like electric trolleys and eco shuttles that can carry people around cities. It has inspired more creativity that is helping to replace the use of fossil fuels to power machines.

Eco-friendly materials

Besides the fact that electric vehicles will reduce the use of fossil fuels and also cut emissions by a good percentage, manufacturers are preferring the use of eco-friendly production. For example, the Nissan Leaf comes with an interior made from recycled materials, particularly plastic bags, water bottles, and old car parts. The Ford Focus, also an electric vehicle, is also made using recycled materials in some parts including the padding. This is good for the environment as it encourages recycling and releases a lot of the waste that is choking the environment.

Reducing climate change

The transport and manufacturing sectors are the biggest contributors to harmful emissions that have been blamed for climate change. With pure electric vehicles, there is no risk of emissions to worry about. This helps to protect the atmosphere against gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. In the long-run, it is an initiative that will benefit the whole world and prevent the destruction of Mother Nature.

It’s good news to note that more companies are investing in the development of electric vehicles. This is something that will not only improve safety and efficiency, but it is also a good idea that is friendly to the environment. It helps to reduce climate change as there is less pollution. Governments are also encouraging the use of renewable energy sources in a bid to improve air quality to prevent diseases caused by exhaust emissions.
