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 Cheesy

Regarding pollution, I do believe that world engineers will come up with an efficient solution for using renewable resources.

...the future of Chinese megafactories.

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. Cool

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.

It’s very harmful for the environment as well and meanwhile we have the best source of energy which will never cause any harm to the planet and it’s not barely being used at all. We shouldn’t a few people hinder us from making a change that will benefit the whole humanity.

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.

WHAT IS WAITING FOR THE FUTURE? A TRUE VIEW OF REALITY ...

1)Reasonable space
We are waiting for life online. Every second, every person, every object in one network, forming a global intelligent space - a giant social network: biometric passports, ID first external, then embedded in the body, they are also a purse, bank account, rights, insurance and later, communication terminal . Our property is managed by us from anywhere in the world.

2)Food
Mankind will depend on food for a long time. The food deficit in the ever growing population

3)War
The war of the future is a permanent war, it always goes as an element of global competition. It's a war at a distance, a war of machines, information technology and software codes. In this war, the best wars are today's gamers and programmers. Managed micro- and macromachines will perform combat tasks

4)Work
Our hands, eyes, ears, our slaves, and perhaps the curse of our species, will become robots.

A person's life is meaningless! We fly unknown where, and when. Somewhere on the edge, or maybe in the middle of an incredible space that is deadly to us.

and most importantly Bitcoin will live forever !!! Yes, this pyramid will live forever

There is a documentary 'Who Killed the Electric Car' where they show you how the EC1 which was an affordable electric vehicle released in California was killed off because it was to good to the consumer!

Try to find it online and watch it.

Hopefully this will happen as soon as possible so we can avoid the pollution caused by vehicles. This is one of my reasons for purchasing an electric car

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's not really a bad idea, given the fact that we have solar power and hydro, it is possible to have these kinds of ideas in the future. In addition, I think it is about time that we act for our mother nature, as we know global warming is slowly killing our planet because of pollution coming from vehicles.

It is a good alternate or solution for air pollution, but like most of them say. Electricity is much expensive than oil. A lot of manufacturers have introduced hybrid cars way back since 2008 but cosumers were more convinced that it's not convinient to wait for your car to be fully charged before you can use it.

Electric cars have advantage and disadvantage in our society. The advantage is we can prevent pollution like the smoke come out the car that no good to our health and tge disadvantage maybe the oil company is being bankrupt.

Oil companies may become bankrupt, but you have nothing to worry if you are not residing in an oil producing country such as Saudi Arabia, Russia or Libya. On the other hand, a lot of jobs will be created in the mining and manufacturing sector.
