Clean Energy Car: The electric-car revolution

The first motor car was invented in 14 May 1886. Karl Benz had finished the first automobile and was ready to test drive. After that, motor car went into our lives. Nowadays, it becomes a useful tool for transportation. However, most of cars still use fossil fuel which is same as 100 years ago. It takes a significant negative impact on environment. Due to the problem of energy shortage especially in fossil fuel, many companies begin to invent an electric-car instead of traditional energy car. In this background, a car called “Tesla” is invented. And it becomes the most popular car in recent years.

There are many advantages of electric-cars. Firstly, compared with traditional energy car which use fossil fuel, the electric-car won’t generate huge amount of greenhouse emissions. Because the main energy for the electric-car is electric, the car owner can charge the battery in car at home. For example, Tesla can charge with a special cable quickly. And they can have this service either in a service center or at home.

Secondly, to maintain this kind of car is also simple and easy.  Because it does not need any machine oil, it can reduce the secondary pollution for the environment. Some opponents may argue that the electric-car cannot run long way compared with traditional energy car. But the fact is that the total kilometers of full energy electric-car is same as that of traditional energy cars. Finally, because the structure of electric-car is much simpler than traditional car, it is cheaper and uses less material. It is also a way to save nature resources due to the large demand and needs of cars.


Let’s still use Tesla as a example. From the picture above, it clearly shows the whole structure of electric-car. The main components only have wheels, battery and electro-motor. Thus, it won’t waste a lot of resources.

To sum up, although electric-car is a new technology which becomes popular in recent years, I believe that it will be a tendency in the future. Because of its environment friendly and using sustainable energy characters, many counties and regions may have interesting in it. It is recommended that government should encourage people to buy electric-car instead of traditional energy car for the concern about the local environment.
