    Electric vehicles (EVs) operate using lithium batteries and electric motors rather than gasoline engines. This makes EVs cheaper to operate with a cost of $10 per charge compared to gasoline, and more environmentally friendly by producing no tailpipe emissions. EVs also have lower maintenance costs than gas vehicles since they require no oil changes, filter replacements, or extended warming periods. While currently more expensive than gas cars, EV prices are expected to decrease significantly over the next 20 years as more automakers compete in the market and manufacturing technologies advance, similar to the cost reductions seen for early gasoline vehicles in the 1900s. EVs are also reliable, with batteries lasting up to 20 years with proper care.

    Zap! Out with Gas, Here Comes Lithium.

    What if we had a chance to reshape the world? Electric Vehicles (EVs)

    have been the most recent development in the car industry and have completely

    changed the way we look at motor vehicles. They operate on a lithium battery that

    powers the entire vehicle for an average price of $10 per charge at a station. This is

    significantly less expensive than gas especially with the crisis going on within the oil

    industry. EVs have much more benefits than gas-powered vehicles including: less

    carbon output, cheaper operation cost, and a consistently lowering price range.

    Gas powered vehicles run on a combustible engine that operates using oil

    and fuel to spark a fire that allows the vehicle to move. These combustible engines let

    out carbon dioxide which is then released into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide over

    time develops a layer in the Earth's atmosphere, which traps heat in the atmosphere

    and does not allow heat out. EVs do not run on these engines and do not release any

    harmful gasses into the atmosphere. This helps the planet to heal with less carbon

    going into the atmosphere and reduces global warming.

    One very great attribute of EVs is that they are very cheap to charge and

    last a long time before a major break. Since they run on an electric motor, they require

    no oil changes, which can total up to $100 every change depending on the vehicle and

    no need to change filters. Many things that come along with gas-powered vehicles are

    not present in electrical vehicles, so it reduces much of the cost. Have you ever started

    your car in the morning and had to wait up to ten minutes for the car to warm up? That

    issue is completely solved with an electric vehicle because it takes less than a minute to

    warm up the car completely and defrost the windows.


    Many companies like Tesla and Chevy have created electric vehicles and

    are in competition with one another. What does this mean? Since they are fighting hard

    to get the most sales, the prices of their vehicles will go down. Even though they are

    expensive right now, eventually, due to competition, the price will drop significantly, just

    like the prices of cars did in the early 1900’s. For example the Model T went from $840

    in 1908 to $265 in 1925, and this was due to the fact that advances in the construction

    of these cars were making it cheaper to make and operate. Within twenty years, EVs

    could see a radical drop in price and become more affordable than gas-powered cars.

    Many would argue that an electric vehicle will always be unreliable and will

    not be able to take the place of gas-powered cars due to their expense. EVs are far

    from unreliable and taken proper care of can last up to 20 years until the battery needs

    replaced. The prices of the parts of electric vehicles are expensive, yes, but the

    significant drop in price of supplying the vehicle with charge and not having to replace

    oil or filters makes up for the price of parts. The car can pay itself off within 10 years if

    the owner takes care of it properly.

    Electric vehicles have much more benefits than electric vehicles. They

    help to reduce carbon output of vehicles, are cost-effective, and are reliable for any

    family. In the future, hopefully we will see many more electric vehicles, including electric

    trucks. They can only improve from here and they will continue to become more

    economically efficient as we move towards the future.
