Electric Vehicle- Fact Check

Electric Vehicle- Fact Check

1. Electric vehicles now include Scooter, Bike, Cars, 3 Wheeler, transit buses that are at least partially powered by electricity.

Electric vehicles fall into three main categories:

  • Battery electric vehicles?are powered by electricity stored in a battery?pack.
  • Plug-in hybrids?combine a gasoline or diesel engine with an electric motor and large rechargeable battery.
  • Fuel cell vehicles?split electrons from hydrogen molecules to produce electricity to run the motor.

2. Electric vehicles are saving the climate — and our lives.

The largest source of climate pollution in the India?

Transportation. To solve the climate crisis, we need to make the vehicles on our roads as clean as possible. We have only a decade left to change the way we use energy to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Emissions from cars and trucks are not only bad for our planet, they’re bad for our health. Air pollutants from gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles cause asthma, bronchitis, cancer, and premature death.

The long-term health impacts of localized air pollution last a lifetime, with the effects borne out in asthma attacks, lung damage, and heart conditions.

As the COVID-19 pandemic — a respiratory disease — continues to spread, a study found “a striking association between long-term exposure to harmful fine particulate matter and COVID-19 mortality.

One of the primary causes of fine particulate matter pollution (PM2.5) is combustion from gasoline and diesel car, 2 Wheeler engines.

3. Electric vehicles have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline-powered cars, no matter where your electricity comes from.

The electricity that charges and fuels battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles comes from power grids, which rely on a range of sources — from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy.

Energy grids can vary from one state to another, which means that the carbon footprint of driving an electric vehicle ranges depending on the source of its electricity.

The very good news? Because electric vehicles are more efficient in converting energy to power cars and trucks, electricity across the board is cleaner and cheaper as a fuel for vehicles, even when that electricity comes from the dirtiest grid.

4. Through their entire lifetime, electric vehicles are better for the climate.

Electric vehicles make up for their higher manufacturing emissions within, at most, eighteen months of driving — and continue to outperform gasoline vehicles until the end of their lives.

5. Electric vehicles can charge up at home, at work, while you’re at the store.

One advantage of electric vehicles is that many can be recharged wherever they make their home, whether that’s your home or a parking / charging station.

As more electric vehicles hit the market and are used more broadly, new recharging solutions — including adding more public charging locations in shopping centers, parking garages, and workplaces — will be required for people and businesses without the same access at home.

6. Planning now by states and utilities to build infrastructure for charging electric vehicles will go a long way.

“The Central government, Niti Ayog & NHEV is working on a national solution for charging the country’s electric vehicles that it’s up to each state to take a hard look at its grid and figure out an electric vehicle charging plan for its turf.”

7. Transit buses, that reliable fixture rumbling through our towns and cities, may just be the key to the electric vehicle revolution.

Buses are the workhorse of our transit system, providing affordable transportation to anyone and everyone. They are a cornerstone of daily life in many cities, making them an important step to getting big electric vehicles into the broader transportation market.

8. Electric Freight Vehicles — delivering goods from warehouses to homes — can make a big, clean difference. We need more of?them.

Diesel and gasoline freight vehicles generate massive amounts of climate and air pollution. In the most impacted communities, these vehicles create diesel “death zones” with more severe respiratory and heart problems.

9. Through all our electric vehicle work, aims to ensure that the people who are most impacted by pollution have the option to use truly clean and zero-emissions vehicles.

“If we’re going to have a real shot at stemming the impact of the climate crisis, we need to ditch fossil fuels, pivot to 100% clean energy, and achieve zero emissions. Making electric vehicles accessible to all people is an important step towards that goal.”

10. You can help make?the future electric

  1. Urge your city to invest in electric buses, 2 & 3 wheelers, and charging infrastructure.?Speak with your local elected officials and write letters-to-the-authorities.
  2. Enlighten your friends.?Share the amazing electric facts you’ve learned. Encourage your friends to find out how much Carbon pollution they could save by going electric.
