Mamuad2Emissions from a Typical Passenger Vehicle,gasoline-powered vehicles produce carbon dioxide,methane,andnitrous oxide.When a vehicle is running,it emitsthese gases through its tailpipeand trappingheat in the atmosphere, contributingto global warming.The rise in globaltemperature causes glaciers to melt, increase sea levels, and produce extreme weather conditions.Gasoline-powered vehicles have been a reliablemeansof transportation for decades.But, thereliance on petroleum for gasoline-powered vehicles creates a strain on the environment.Theprocess of extracting and refining petroleum consumes a lot of energy which contributes to thereduction of the Earth’s natural reserves that causeenvironmentaldegradation (Ramirez).With the advancement in technology,automakers introduced electric vehicles.Thepressing issues in the environment have made electric vehicles apossibleoption to reducegreenhouse emissions.Electric vehiclesdrawpower fromelectricity stored in rechargeablebatteries(“Electricvs.Fuel”).These typesof vehicleshavethe potential to reduce greenhouseemissions becausethis kind of technologydo not depend on fuel as a driving force. Since there isno fuel used to power-up electricvehicles, there are noharmful gasesreleasedinto theatmosphere, which contribute to air pollution and climate change.Using an electric vehicle willhelp reduce air pollution,leading to cleaner air and improved public health, especially in denselypopulated urban areas. Electric vehicles are also more energy-efficient than gasoline-poweredvehicles(Nanaki 13). It converts a high percentage of energy stored in the batteries into drivingpower while gasvehicles waste energy and convert it to heat released into the atmosphere.Furthermore, electric vehicles have instant torque that makes them accelerate smoothly and fast.This featurealsoprovides the driver of the vehicle with a more enjoyable driving experience.Itis a quick and powerful response once the accelerator is stepped onprovidinga thrilling drivingexperience.Moreover, electric vehicles have quieter engines than gasoline-poweredvehicles
