I'm not sure that electric cars are really as green as they advertise. To provide electricity you need a power plant and nothing without a major impact on the environment. If you consider the impact of coal-fired power plants, and in addition the batteries required for electric cars are neither environmentally friendly nor their production
dan saya tidak aka pernah tertarik pada kendaraan listrik

I took a mountain bike and added an electric power to it. It works very well, has about 40 km range and will go 35 kph (faster than would be wise)
It is certainly practical for in town trips like going to work, weather and traffic permitting.
It was also not that expensive, something like $800 US for 1000 watt motor and 14Ah battery (If I recall correctly). There are many cheaper ones such as 250 watt motor but these are considered "pedal assist." Also in many places law limits bikes to 250 watts, to go higher you need a different registration.
Very interesting project. It led me to be less enthusiastic about the cars, though. It takes quite a bit of expensive batteries to move people around!
1000W motor and only 35 kph? It should go much faster than that. It has to be something with your controller saving up the battery and not giving enough juice to the motor. It should go at least 10 km faster if you modify the controller. if you're able to go40km that's probably the reason why it's not that fast because most of those powerful bikes that go over 50 are meant for 30km range at full power.
It was probably 35 mph not kph that I measured as top speed, because I view normal cruise speeds as 10-20 mph (and 20mph is pretty much 35 kph...).
it is the biggest deal In car manufacturing since all cars must be recharged as a normal fuel car must be fueled, this will be very boring and also as you late for an appointment and your car is running on a low battery which needs to be recharged, till what time would it finish charging for you to meet your appointment on time...it really a big deal for the future.....

The bike weight is increased by 20 lb, and since it is a 15 speed mountain bike, there is no problem with pedaling and not using the motor. I simply replaced the front wheel with one that had an electric motor built in. The pedals and gear train the the rear wheel are not affected.
If you wanted just 20 km range instead of 40 km range, you could half the size and cost and weight of the battery pack.
Its been a long fight for electrical cars to get into the market. Today, manufacturers and marketers try to substitute "eco" for all products from all sides. The century of ecological products, eco-biofuels and eco-cities is in full swing. Did not pass this fate and electric cars. Yes, they do not need oil products for traffic. Yes, electricity is generally safer and less harmful to nature than burning gasoline or diesel. People have also invented cars thar run on sun flower oil. But because it isn't profitable it is not pursued further by manufacturers.
Everything is possible, the only question is when will it materialize. Flying cars would be very awesome but together with it's usage, there are other potential risks that we have to consider like having more casualty in an instance of a crash and the cars falling from the sky.

For now, electric cars are expensive. It is normal. Everything that is new has its price. New technology is always expensive. Remember the first computers? They were so big that we could not have them at home. Even the internet at the beginning was a lush. Nowadays, electric cars are in the same position. They are our future. We need them to fight climate change. We just need to find a way to make them affordable for the mass.
It's the future so I consider to buy one in the next few years too. But in my country electricity cars are rare and hard to find one. I just saw only one car in my country. And the problem is not easy, because it's involved in Government
At the moment it looks like electric motored cars are the future but instead of batteries they will be fitted with hydrogen fuel cells that convert hydrogen in the cell to produce electricity to operate the electric motor. These cars are already on our roads being tested.
The advantage of hydrogen fuel cells over batteries is you will be able to pull up at a gas station and pump in fresh hydrogen just like a gas driven internal combustion engine cars and you have instant full tank again unlike batteries that takes many hours to recharge before you can drive on.

Electric cars might not be far off in the distant future however, gas powered cars are still going to be around fir a lon time especially in 3rd world countries where infrastructure for renewable energy cars are next to non existent.

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 ?

It is an exciting time to see so many advancements in technology. I think that electric cars are already "normal" in many places. For them to be the "norm", as in the most common type of car, I think it will take some time. Some countries are really off to a good start though. Norway is the best example. Over 5% of all their cars on the road are electric. In 2017, 39.2% of all car sales were electric. It's pretty easy to see that in 10 or 20 years, they'll easily have almost all electric cars. I would certainly consider buying an electric car, but it's more of a novelty thing for me. I would probably weigh out all the costs and benefits and get a cheaper electric car, rather than a Tesla, for example. Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one ?

I really like the idea of alternative fuel sources electric cars, biodiesel, anything really besides petrol is good in my mind 
.
There are also hydrogen fuel cells I think someone made a car powered with that some years ago, I think I saw also someone made a car that could have been powered by water (I don't quite remember though).

....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?

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 ?

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.
