Hybrid car

For a start the internal combustion engine is a time tested piece of equipment, huge advances have been made in the production and technology of such engines. Electric motors in comparison are fairly new, surely more energy would be required to build such a car in the first place.

As the rest of the arguments go, electric cars themselves produce no pollution, but most of the electricity generated here in America comes from burning something, usually coal or gas. This fuel is burnt, heating water, to turn turbines, there are 3 exchanges of energy here, so energy will be lost.

The power stations are likely to churn out a lot of pollution to run your humble car. And the power stations can create a lot of pollution or hazardous waste and nuclear incidents (each type of power plant has its own hazards associated with their use).

Second, the batteries. Batteries are not nice things to have around, they are extremely difficult to dispose of, and they have a definite lifespan. When the batteries in these cars die, and they eventually will, they will need to be replaced. This is not only an extra cost to consider, but it’s also bad for the environment.

How to clean headlights for improved appearance and safety
