I really like the idea of alternative fuel sources electric cars, biodiesel, anything really besides petrol is good in my mind .

....the car batteries used in a Tesla generate as much CO2 as driving a gasoline-powered car for eight years. And that’s before they even come off the production line. .....
So a gasoline car is clearly better for the environment.
Why are so many people lying to us about this?
Alot of the major car manufacturers are turning their sights on electric and hybrid cars and it seems it's only a matter of time before petrol and diesel cars are gone the way of the dodo. Tesla unveiled an impressive truck for transporting goods. Alot of governments and car manufacturers seem to be getting on board with going green for all the obvious reasons but how soon do you predict before electric is the norm in transportation ?
Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one ? What are your reasons for buying it ?
We do have a lot of electric vehicle here in the Philippines, there's this manufacturer called "racal" who sells electric vehicles cheaper than others. It's an auto rickshaw by the way... I myself would like to buy these types of vehicle, but it still needs improvement. Like its horsepower or something Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one ? What are your reasons for buying it ?
Everything depends on the corporations that extract and sell oil. They impede development to everything that can replace their product, and since they have a lot of money and power the electric cars will not become the future soon. But given that the maintenance of electric cars is becoming cheaper and cheaper than conventional cars, sooner or later it will become a future
No.
You or anybody can go to eBay and look at the prices of lithium ion batteries in large quantity. You can order them if you like. Oil companies DO NOT influence those prices.
And yes they are very expensive if you want enough of them to power a car.

There is no doubt electric cars will be the future because fossil fuel is limited in supply and getting expensive. the only problem is the battery is never developed for a long time, we are still using lithium-ion batteries known to degrade every time thus we need to change the battery when its worn out. for the greener side producing electric cars contribute more carbon footprint than using a fuel car. it will take more than 9 years to be an electric car is on par with a fuel car in terms of carbon footprint, in case you will use your electric car for that long most of the time we will buy a new one. making the fuel car a greener choice than an electric car. if we want more environment-friendly we need to change battery source and not relying on lithium ion type.

The electric car industry is a rising one, that is a fact. It is very good to know that a car not emitting any poisonous gas is built.
But there is still big obstacles. There isn't a developed infrastructure for battery charging, and the trouble doesn't end there.
In a study by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute conducted in 2017 is said that the Tesla car batteries aren't so "green" afterall.
According to the study the car batteries used in a Tesla generate as much CO2 as driving a gasoline-powered car for eight years.
And that’s before they even come off the production line. The problem is that these emissions occur throughout the manufacturing process of the batteries.
So we have another problem. How to find a process that doesn't emit CO2. If this problem is not solved, what's the point, if the car itself is eco-friendly.

Didn't a Tesla car explode recently for no reason at all? More research obviously has to be done to prove if indeed, it is a more viable mode of transportation with less impact on the environment. There are a lot of possibilities for cars in the future. Driverless cars is a concept being explored and another, a virtual world. So many things can be done virtually now --shopping, paying, working. One day, everything will be virtual.
They are very popular these days, they're expensive though but electric cars are one
of the solution to minimize and hopefully someday abolish the use of fossil fuels on
cars and trucks. In my country very few can afford the price tag electric cars have,
though and emergence of electric motorcycles have abruptly made it's presence in the
streets. When electric cars becomes cheaper, they will surely flood the streets and
dominate. I would very like to own one myself when the right opportunity arises.

We should combaine solar power and electric cars like cars with solar panels on the roof i was saying that a long time ago people were laughting to me but look at now all those companies try to make something like this ....Panasonic announced an advanced solar panel system that will debut on the 2017 model Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid in Japan,Audi has inked a deal with solar panel expert Alta Devices to fit the energy-generating panels to the roofs of its future cars and will have more and more companies like this try to step up with future
Would be better to have an electric car, however there is a strong oil lobby that doesn't let electric cars become a reality. There are much money involved and if suddenly everyone starts using electric cars, then a lot of rich guys will lose their wealthy income. And some countries that explore oil would lose the income as well. Electric cars + renewable energy sources are a good solution to decrease costs and at same decrease the pollution in the world.
The ironic is that it's already possible to become a reality, but because some people don't want, it's not put in practice.

Here in the UK there have definitely been an increase over the past few years in the availability of electric cars. There are charging stations popping up here and there but they need to increase these dramatically if the idea will take off.
I hope to replace my car next year and will be looking to get at the very least a hybrid if not full electric. It's not because I am a tree hugger, far from it I am probably closer to a petrol head but the cost of fuel, road tax and parking are all dramatically cheaper in an electric car. They will be the future its just a case of how long it takes governments to put the infrastructures in place.

If someone doesn't decide to "help out" Elon Musk with spreading infrastructure for charging electric cars, the current state won't change in years. Still, I do believe that this will be our future in next 15 years or so. Many obstacles in the way, but innovation (and nicely designed cars) will spread like a wildfire once free stations for charging are set up around the globe 
Regarding pollution, I do believe that world engineers will come up with an efficient solution for using renewable resources.

Long term there will be no Electric cars that are not made in China; just like all other eletronics where cheap production (bare human rights and almost no environmental protection) is key.
Fuck them electric cars, LPG/CNG is where we should be heading, if we want to keep the car industry in EU/USA.

LPG/CNG is very clean and nice technology. But most people don't know anything about it, so they mindlessly repeat what they've been told was good.
the use of cars in cities will significantly reduce the smoke of these very cities, improve the ecological situation and clean the air. But. To call electric cars harmless - to show ignorance of the device of electromobiles. I'm not talking about the fact that they use the same components (bearings, angular gears, brake systems, cooling systems) as in conventional cars, which require refueling with the same poisonous liquids (Dot, antifreeze). After all, the most nasty part of all electric vehicles is a battery. I will return to its shortcomings later, and now about the environmental friendliness. The production of lithium batteries is quite a costly thing, but even more costly is the disposal of these batteries. And you need to dispose of them, because this is the part that is likely to be replaced in the electric car first. And this is not some kind of carbon dioxide and combustion products, which are mostly reworked by the ecosystem of the planet Earth, this crap should be disposed of to people, as well as bottles that decompose for millions of years. Well, I would like to mention that raw materials for the production of such batteries are not replenished, so judge for yourself what is better.
I am very looking forward to the presence of electric cars, because the longer I feel the earth gets hotter, especially with the increasing number of vehicles now, the air becomes less fresh.
hopefully electric car can solve that problem

The burning of the fossil fuels can't go on forever. We don't have much time to save this planet. But the problem is that the current technology for electric cars is not viable for mass production. Electric cars need huge amounts of Lithium and Cobalt, and these minerals are not present in the earth's crust in required quantities.
Electric cars are in their infancy. Their gas and diesel cousins have many decades to be refined and proven. However I do see electric cars as the way of the future. As with all new technology it will gain acceptance. When a tipping point of acceptance is met, demand will suddenly skyrocket and manufacturers will scramble to meet the demand.
There are only a small handful of brave manufacturers currently testing these waters like the Chey Volt, Nissan Leaf and Tesla. They operate on minimal production volumes. When demand skyrockets suddenly they will be better positioned than their competitors to meet the demand and be the forerunners in the technology.

Historically, if we are going to take a look at the inventions, discoveries, and innovations of the ancient civilization to the contemporary world, the use of electric cars would not become impossible in the near future just like how thing on Earth evolved. I believe that soon, petrol and diesel-reliant cars and trucks will be vanished. But I think that it requires a transition period from conceptualization, testing, and eventually in making that reliable and credible, wherein people could adjust. And I think it will soon be pushed through mandatorily because we will soon realize that by these, we can protect our planets, we can preserve resources, and we can make people give importance in protecting and preserving the environment.
