Electric Cars - Tesla
Ever wonder what would happen if the world ran out of oil? You would not have gasoline which is where electric cars would come in. Electric cars are an innovation that have already been invented. In 2008 the first Tesla was made, the Roadster. It was designed from Nikola Tesla's 1882 design. Tesla was then founded by multiple engineers that wanted to prove that electric vehicles are better, quicker, and more fun to drive. Tesla makes other products as well, products that are infinitely scalable clean energy generation and storage products.
The Tesla is being produced and developed in The Tesla Factory in Fremont, California. But R&D's lab is in Palo Alto, California. R&D means Research and Development and they are apart of Tesla Motors. Most of the vehicle components are in Fremont, California. The first Tesla was made in 2008 and the Tesla is brand has been selling for a while and has been produced and bought in the U.S. and China. According to Kevin Bullis, a senior editor for MIT Technology Review said, “Within a few years, Tesla hopes to produce much more affordable vehicles—including one that costs $30,000 to $35,000—with a range similar to that of the Model S. Tesla also wants to make electric cars more practical by building a nationwide network of charging stations that can deliver 200 miles of charge in about half an hour—compared to several hours to charge an electric car at an ordinary station today.” This statement shows that the Tesla is going to make more vehicles that are more affordable and a better versions of the past Teslas. The Tesla company just introduced the Dual Charger design to China. They will be producing a China-only version of the Tesla Model S and Model X with a dual charger port. It supports their GB/T DC fast charging standard. China is spreading over 10 thousand new charging stations across the country which will give customers a larger charging network. 40 percent coal, 25 percent natural gas, 20 percent nuclear power, and about 10 percent renewable sources, led by hydroelectricity. So it’s fair to say that your average Tesla is powered in large part by burning fossil fuels. But if you’re charging your Tesla in California, where natural gas supplies more than half the electricity or, better yet, Idaho or Washington, where hydroelectricity reigns, your per-mile emissions are a fraction of that amount. Your Model S is a clean machine after all.
Compared to gasoline cars there are many more advantages to having an electric car. By having a Tesla it save time, money, and trips to the gas station. It runs by electricity and is able to charge by the outlet in your house. In the car there is a single gear for all speeds, which makes people who are just learning to drive easier and makes it easier and better for other people. A regular vehicle would have gas, but not a Tesla. Since it runs on electricity it can not emit pollution in the air. It actually produces 40 percent less carbon dioxide and ozone than conventional cars. I assume that the environment will be better. If people have electric cars than the earth will be cleaner, even the air. Since electric cars don’t use gasoline the car doesn’t pollute the air with toxins. They will impact the world in a positive way because it will make it easier for people to drive. Some people don’t like to drive at night or are not good drivers at all and some of the Teslas are able to drive themselves which could affect how many people get in car accidents a year. Battery-powered cars are more efficient at converting their stored energy into forward progress. A Model S can travel upwards of 265 miles on a single charge of its 85 kilowatt-hour battery, which equates to less than 3 gallons of gas. With no engine, no gas tank, and no exhaust, they’re considered to be zero-emissions vehicles. Despite the motivated deniers, there is evidence that infestation of the planet by humans is screwing up the environment, including ever more punishing storms and winters. Being able to transport yourself without polluting the air is compelling. And you'll know that you're not contributing to umpteen tanker trucks delivering gasoline, oil rig explosions killing workers and polluting the ocean, tanker ships spilling oil, or the upcoming Toyota idiocy of hydrogen tanks everywhere. Always remember that you can generate electricity at home, but you can't produce gasoline at home. If you haven't been concerned about the increase in CO2. A late August 2015 report on personal vehicle commuting cited the enormous waste of gasoline of conventional automobile engines idling in growing traffic jams. There are still far too many tailpipes out there as the population in general gorges on gasoline. Electric cars will soon get more popular and people will buy them once they become more affordable. With electric cars who knows how much the environment will be better.

You say that the cars that run on gas produce many emissions, do they have any other effect on the environment, like the oil drills digging too deep?
ReplyDeletewell if you want to be exact, the electricity that makes the Tesla run cause very bad pollution by trying to get the oil. By digging into the ocean it lets out a lot of oil which is bad for the things that live there.
