Conventional internal combustion vehicles; electric vehicles; carbon dioxide emission.Abstract
As the climate changes on earth, people are caring more about the issue of global warming. In that, they invented electric cars, which is touted as an effective way to reduce vehicles emissions of CO2. So, this essay will explain whether EVs helps the environment. Research on different aspects of both cars have been done, structures, history and others are being included. As the study result, which being found out is that the electric vehicles averagely emit less CO2 than conventional internal combustion cars. Also, what is affecting the carbon dioxide emission of EVs are their dependence of time and time of the day. What’s more, many proposed solutions of reducing carbon emission on EVs are being used now efficiently.
