What do you think about electric cars, are they worth it or do you prefer to use gasoline cars although it is not environmentally friendly.

I believe that electric cars are absolutely worth it. According to Forbs magazine, unlike gas cars, electric cars release almost no emissions while in use. To argue the other side some electric cars release 60% more CO2 in construction, however, if you look at lifetime emissions gas cars are just not able to compete. The electric cars are especially worth it when you consider that electrical providers are working on reducing their own CO2 emissions. However, we will not see real results until electric cars become more mainstream.

I  agree with you. Electric cars are definitely worth their price. Electric cars reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions drastically. Also to create even less greenhouse gas emissions you can use renewable energy to charge your car. Non electric cars are obviously the more healthier and better choice for our atmosphere.

I definitely agree with you. But I think that people don't want to make efforts to change their gasoline car because there are still too many constraints. Beside the price, which can be reduced thanks to a government aid, there have not enough installations to help people get over the edge. For example government can developed public places to facilitate the maintenance or recharging of electric cars. Or measures such as imposing a service for electric cars in all garages.

I disagree with all of you because I think that electric cars are not the solution : we can't judge a produce just during the periode of use, we need to see pollution before and after the use.
First because when you extract materials to produce battery you make a lot of CO2, after you need to transform it and put in many really poluting elements.
If you want to recycle the car, battery is a big problem as it may raise problems we did not yet encounter.

i think the replacment of gasoline cars is the future and the present. they are much more eco friendly and less expensive over time

I think electric cars are only environmentally friendly compared to gasoline cars, but they are not the best solution. Because the use of electric vehicles in the process will also cause environmental pollution. The most environmentally friendly way is to walk.

I agree with this! While electric cars are a great alternative, nothing beats walking or biking. On the other hand, using an electric car is a next best thing that is not walking. It can be hard to fully give up cars so I think electric cars is already a huge step in the right direction.

I think Electric cars are the definite answer even if they are more expensive. I think this way because in the long run you will be saving money from rising gas prices and in the near future especially in some regions they are planning to ban the use of cars that burn gasoline so it’s better to get one now if you are in one of those regions. They are also  more environmentally conscious because they do not emit greenhouse gases like gasoline does and with that comes bragging rights.

I think electric cars are a good start. Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases and one greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide gets released whenever fossil fuels are used. Electric cars are so expensive because they are more efficient and do not use any fossil fuels. If people switch to electric cars than less fossil fuels are used which is a good start to fixing the climate.

There are some serious drawbacks to electric cars, the lack of range and the scarcity of charging stations being some, but I think the environmental benefit is worth it.

I agree with these replies in my own words electric cars are good because no matter where you plug in across the country, electric vehicles are cheaper to fuel than their gasoline-powered counterparts. Every electricity provider in the 50 largest US cities offers a rate plan that makes filling up on electricity cheaper than gasoline, adding up to a median yearly savings of over $770. Also an electric engine generates instant torque, which means that electric vehicles zoom off starting lines and provide smooth, responsive acceleration and deceleration. Electric vehicles also have a low center of gravity, which improves handling, responsiveness, and ride comfort.
