Future of electric vehicles

Thu., April 5, 2018

The electric vehicle is a very popular new technology nowadays.

The energy conversion efficiency of electric vehicles is more than 80 percent, which is twice that of fuel vehicles. The most important is the saving of fossil fuels and the protection of the environment. Vehicle exhaust gas accounts for more than one-third of air pollution. Therefore, the use of electric vehicles can greatly reduce air pollution.

Electric vehicles also have the disadvantages of slow charging and short cruising range. However, with the development of technology, these problems will be solved in the near future.

In summary, electric vehicles are the future, fueled vehicles will be eliminated like carriages!
