Electric cars are not the solution

In the past 20 years, when the last gasoline and diesel cars in the UK are sold, will our city be polluted? Unfortunately it is not. There are two main reasons for this. First of all there is still a diesel truck and bus. Secondly, electric cars still release particulate pollutants into the atmosphere by wearing tires, brakes, and road surfaces. Particle contamination due to exhaustion is increasing more than modern cars.

The tendency to open disk brakes rather than sealed drum seems to make things worse, and toxicologists say the particles are not harmless. Despite the regenerative braking, the electric motor is reversed to slow down speed, but one study suggests that the extra weight of the battery means more particle contamination than the gasoline or diesel car we buy today discovered.

Electric vehicles transfer pollution to a power station far from our city. Carbon-free electricity is necessary to obtain great profit. Most studies have focused on average driving and average power generation. Conversely, considering true city driving and off-peak charging, electric vehicles are low pollution options in Belgium, more than half of electricity comes from nuclear power, but Beijing's more efficient gas-fired power plants rapidly It replaces old coal.

One quarter of British cars travel less than 2 miles. You can become more ambitious. If gasoline and diesel are replaced by electric cars, you will miss opportunities to saving about 17 billion pounds of NHS over the next 20 years by replacing or cycling nearby vehicles.

The first argument that electric cars can not solve the global warming problem is that they lack consumers' appeal. Consumers are the key to solving the global warming problem. To reduce emissions, the government must persuade citizens to choose better alternatives to replace existing consumer goods. Unfortunately, electric vehicles lack the appeal of consumers because of their size. Many of the electric vehicles on the market are compact cars and do not match traditional cars in terms of attractiveness and performance of consumers. Gerssen-Gondelach and Faaij (2012, p. 111) believes that electric vehicles are not yet competing with traditional cars. Consumers are reluctant to provide high performance SUVs to small electric vehicles powered by electricity. As long as the technology of the battery and other electric vehicle parts is the same, consumers will not be that attractive.

The price of an electric car is controversial. Although their price is not much more expensive than traditional alternatives, their performance price is very high. The relative price of an electric car is higher than the relative price of a conventional car in the same performance range. On the other hand, cars comparable to the performance of traditional cars such as Tesla products are expensive and are outside the range of normal consumer prices. For example, Model S's Tesla will be close to $ 70,000. This is too expensive for many people. There is no high-performance, low-cost car. Orbach and Fruchter (2011, p. 1210) argues that as more and more manufacturers promise mass production of these models, the price of electric vehicles inevitably declines. However, they acknowledge the current price tag assignment. Dijk, Orsato and Kemp (2013, p. 135) prove that it is easy to construct an electric car manufacturing plant
