Before we dive into the model Y efficiency numbers and comparisons, I want to take a moment to talk about why efficiency and electric vehicle is so important.
One of the first reasons why efficiency is so important in an electric vehicle is because of the energy density difference between gasoline, and batteries.
The fuel cell cars are taking over the market and the main reason behind it is their low harmful effect on the environment. These cars are more Eco-friendly and are available with fuel cells that can be recycled. These cells have a higher range in terms of miles. In order to know about the basic significance of fuel cell cars, see this slideshow.
As a driver who received their driver’s license in the year of 2008 I remember the high cost of gasoline, and wondered what if I had a hybrid or electric car. I thought to myself would I really be saving money or doing anything really work while for the environment. Could there possible be some subtle benefits that I wouldn’t notice.
I remember the first time I ever purchased a vehicle. It was my 2013 Kia Soul. I love that car, and will continue to for many years. I also remember that I saved a lot of money on buying my car. Discussed below are some way to save money the next time you purchase a vehicle.
Electric Vehicles- chargeImagine a vehicle with no need for gas. You could just fill up your fuel at home. The exception for “fuel,” of course, includes your home’s electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. Some advantages make electric automobiles a better choice. However, current technologies in 2015 on roads can present some difficulties, and thus, create classic vehicles as the main option. Hybrids that rely on both gasoline and electricity may prove a good decision point to factor.
Emission Reductions from Electric Cars Will Increase Every Year – Isn’t that ...Katy Kidwell
Running a car on electricity today in Massachusetts or Rhode Island results in far fewer emissions because the mix of resources on the grid is cleaner than burning gas and electric motors move a car more efficiently than gas engines. That means electric vehicles will be come greener and greener over time! Get one today.

Comparing Gas-Powered Cars and Electric Cars
Electric cars have become increasingly popular in the past century. These cars use
electric motors instead of conventional gasoline engines. Electric cars pollute less and utilize
energy more efficiently than gas-powered vehicles; therefore, modern research is focusing on
improving electric vehicles, such as increasing the storage capacity of the batteries. This essay
seeks to identify the differences and similarities between the two types of cars focusing on their
performance, price, and convenience.
An electric car is a car that is primarily powered by electricity. The conventional gas-
powered cars require diesel or gasoline to power the engines. These cars have gas tanks that store
fuel and the engine converts the gas to the energy that powers the motor. Similarly, electric cars
have batteries, or fuel cells that store and convert electricity to energy used to propel electric
motors (What Are Electric Cars?). Four components present in electric cars distinguish it from
the gas-powered cars (Alternative Fuels Data Center: How Do All-Electric Cars Work?). The
first is the charge port. Since electricity powers an electric car, there has to be a port to connect
to an external power source when charging the battery. The second is an electric traction motor
that propels the vehicle. The third is a traction battery pack. This battery serves the same purpose
as the gas tank; thus, it stocks electric power to propel the motor. The forth is a direct current
converter. This component converts the current to low voltage power that is needed to power the
electric engine.

No, you cannot 'announce' what your essay will do. And this is NOT the thesis I approved. What I approved:"Both gas-powered cars and electric cars are now in use, but their price, performance and convenience may vary, which may influence people's decisions about which type to use."

Differences between gas-powered cars and electric cars
The initial purchase price of an electric car is much higher than that of a gas-powered car.
Consumers intending to own a vehicle have the option of buying or leasing. The initial cost of a
car depends on an individual's disposable income and savings. Knez et al. noted that "When it
comes to financial features, the most important thing seems to be the total price of the vehicle"
(55). The difference in price between electr.
Electric Vehicles: Fun Saving Our PlanetPaul H. Carr
Electric cars are fun to drive: silent acceleration 0 to 60 mph in 3 tl 6 seconds.
They are doubly green, saving our planet with no carbon dioxide emissions and saving the green in your pocketbook. They get the equivalent of 100 miles per gallon, saving $4000 in fuel costs over the average new vehicle during five years and requiring no oil changes.
The number of moving parts in an electric motor is an order of magnitude lower than for a gasoline engine.
Electric motors are more than twice as efficient.

Have you pulled your car up to the gas pump lately and been shocked by the high price of gasoline? As the pump clicked past $20, $30, $40 or even $50, maybe you thought about trading in your car for something that gets better mileage. Or maybe you're worried that your car is contributing to the greenhouse effect.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

2. This graphic illustrates the main
differences between gas and electric
cars. It shows that while gas powered
engines produce greenhouse gases and
pollution, electric cars have no tailpipe
emissions. The fuel used for gas cars
comes from OPEC and is a non-
renewable resource, as opposed to
electric cars that get their fuel from utility
companies. Even though electric cars
do save you 10 cents per mile, they take
almost eight times as long to refuel, and
go less than a third of the distance of
gas cars.
3. While gas cars can save you money in
the short term, electric cars save a lot
more money in the long run. Based on
this graphic, it costs around 2,100
dollars to fuel a gas car the first year
you own it. A solar electric car on the
other hand, cost 8,000 dollars for the
first year to initially buy the solar panels.
Then after fifty years of owning the cars,
the gas car cost 275,000 dollars
throughout the life of the vehicle. The
electric car; however, only totaled at
12,000 dollars.
4. Driving a gasoline car can cause you to spend a large amount of money on
fuel for the car. Depending on the miles per gallon of the vehicle you could
spend hundreds of dollars on fuel just for one month. Even though some gas
cars can get thirty or more miles per gallon, they still use over a hundred dollars
worth of gas a month.
5. This graphic compares electric vehicles
to both fully gas powered vehicles and
hybrid (gas/electric) vehicles. It shows
that even though hybrid vehicles do
cost a lot less money to fuel, it does still
cost almost twice that of fully electric
vehicles. It also shows that fully gas
powered cars cost more than three
times the cost of electric vehicles, and
just under twice the cost of hybrid
vehicles.
6. Through an experiment it was proven that
some of the electric cars that do produce
CO2 emissions have a 5.261 percent chance
of producing a higher amount of CO2
emissions than gasoline cars.
In terms of fuel cost between gas and electric
cars, there is no comparison. Electric cars cost
much less than gas. The average price of a
gallon of regular gas is 3.863 dollars, and the
average cost of one kWh of Electricity is .1153
cents.
Electric cars are not the cheapest in every
way however. Once every five years the
battery for an electric car, which costs
9,428.55 dollars, needs to be replaced.
This graphic makes electric cars out to be the
more expensive of the two just because of the
battery of electric cars needing to be
replaced, but it neglects to include the cost of
maintaining a gas engine which can also be
costly.
7. Gasoline prices have varied
greatly throughout the years,
and sometimes it has hit
prices that are almost too
high to pay. Electricity on the
other hand, has stayed within
the same general price
range. The highest electricity
has ever been was one dollar
and fifty cents, and the
lowest its been is around
ninety-five cents. The price of
gas; however, has had a
lowest price of one dollar
and twenty five cents a
gallon, and gone all the way
up to four dollars and twenty
cents a gallon.
8. The graphic shows the estimated total
cost of ownership for different kinds of
vehicles, including: gas, diesel,
biodiesel, electric, and more. Based on
the chart, regular gas vehicles vary the
most in costs and are the only ones
effected by medium energy prices.
Diesel and Biodiesel vehicles look to be
about the same in total cost of
ownership and can vary a few
thousand dollars based on energy
prices. Electric vehicles that get a tax
credit have the lowest total cost and
are effected the least by energy
prices. Electric vehicles that do not get
a tax credit on the other hand, are
about the same total cost as some of
the regular gas vehicles, but their cost
is not effected by varying energy
prices.
9. The graphic shows more
differences between gas and
electric vehicles. Like the first
graphic, it shows that electricity
cost about ten cents less and that
electric cars go about a third of the
distance of gas cars. This graphic
also includes the greenhouse gas
emissions of each car. Gasoline
cars emit about a pound of CO2
every mile. Electric cars that run
with electricity from coal produce
just short of that, at 0.8 pounds per
mile. Then cars that run on
electricity from renewable
resources produce zero emissions
per mile.
10. This is an advertisement for Ford’s
line of electric, hybrid, and gas
engines. Their EcoBoost engine
runs on gasoline but claims to be
up to twenty percent more fuel
efficient than similar gas engines.
The Fusion Hybrid, runs on both gas
and electricity, and claims to get
seventy-eight percent better fuel
economy than similar four-cylinder
cars. Then they have an electric
engine that is supposed to get the
electric equivalent of one
hundred miles per gallon.
11. This graphic shows the average cost to drive twenty-seven miles in an average
compact gas car compared to the average cost to drive an electric vehicle. The
cost to drive the gas vehicle has gone up constantly since mid 2009, but the cost
to drive the electric vehicle has stayed fairly constant for the last ten years.
12. Environmentally, electric
cars produce zero tailpipe
emissions. Although electric
cars charged on the grid
can produce tailpipe
emissions, they emit fifty-
four percent less emissions
than regular gas vehicles.
Regular electric cars are
not the only option as
opposed to gas cars. There
are also HEVs (Hybrid
Electric Vehicles), PHEVs
(Plug-in Hybrid Electric
Vehicles), and FCEVs (Fuel
Cell Electric Vehicles).
13. This graphic includes a surprising
fact about the CO2 emissions
created by electric cars. It says
that concentrations of CO2 have
increased since 1960. This is
because of the means by which
people get the power for electric
cars. The power produced from
coal and other sources produces
CO2 emissions. Whereas, powering
an electric car with natural
resources, such as solar or wind
power, produces no CO2
emissions.
14. The cost of ownership is more than just paying to buy a car. It is the cost to
maintain and fuel the vehicle as well. As displayed by this graphic, combustion
engines always cost more and more the longer that you have them. Hybrids are
right after them, and gain about a thousand dollars in additional costs per year.
Electric cars appear to be the most expensive, but they keep a fairly constant
cost. Plug-in cars, like electric, have fairly constant additional costs, but they stay
about two thousand dollars lower than electric cars.
15. Another way to look at the
advantage of electric versus gas
cars is the efficiency of the
vehicles. Gas cars use only about
fifteen percent of fuel energy to
move the vehicle. That means that
for every two gallon of gas used,
only around a liter of it went to
moving the car. The other five and
a half liters was wasted on just
keeping the engine running.
Electric cars on the other hand
utilize eighty percent or more of
their fuel energy to move the
vehicle. So less than twenty
percent of the energy is wasted in
electric vehicles, compared to the
eighty-five percent wasted in gas
cars.
16. This graphic is a screenshot of a calculator that compares the
average cost of a gallon of gasoline in your state and the average
cost the electric equivalent of a gallon of gas. It shows that on
average, one gallon of gasoline costs more than three times the
cost of an electric gallon of gas.
17. This graphic takes a satiric
approach of advertising electric
cars compared to gas cars by trying
to say that you save so much
money with an electric car that it is
pretty much flowing out of the car.
18. Due to the high population and
excessive traffic found in Los
Angeles, California, Children there
have ten to fifteen percent lower
lung capacity than children in
cleaner, less crowded cities.
Electric vehicles would greatly
reduce this problem, and improve
health for the citizens in Los
Angeles because of their much
lower emissions.
Other than the emission
advantage of electric vehicles,
they are also almost
maintenance-free other than the
occasional battery replacement,
because they do not require the
same upkeep as gas cars.
19. This graphic provides a great visual
representation of Carbon Dioxide
emissions in electric, hybrid, and
gasoline vehicles. It shows that there
is about a seven-hundred gram per
mile difference between the highest
emission car (Maybach 62) and the
lowest emission car (Toyota Prius).
This is a drastic difference when you
think about the fact that you could
go four miles in the Prius and still not
emit the same amount of Carbon
Dioxide as the Maybach in just one
mile.
20. There are many ways to
compare the costs and
efficiency differences
between gas and electric
vehicles. The most direct is
fuel cost differences. In a
comparison between two
similar sized vehicles, one
electric, one gas, it showed
that the electric car only cost
two dollars and sixty-four
cents to go the same
distance as the gas car
which cost fourteen dollars
and twenty-five cents.
It is also interesting to
compare and electric car to
electric household
appliances. A hair dryer for
example, takes fifteen hours
to use the same amount of
energy that is required to
fully charge a Nissan Leaf.
21. This graphic takes the approach
of trying to appeal to the
viewers logical sense. It
attempts to try and get you to
question why you would think
that environmental groups
would spend their own money
to work with the majority of the
world scientists if they are not
trying to do what is best for the
environment and for everyone
else. It also attacks big oil
companies in by talking about
how they spend their
unreasonable profits to bribe
anyone who can actually stop
them from making more
money.
22. Aside from all the previously mentioned advantages of electric cars,
it is hard to say that you would not want an electric car when these
look as awesome as they do. Other than the price tag on the three
of these, I would choose one of them over most gasoline cars any
day.
