Environmental+Benefits

There are many environmental benefits that the electric car has. Some of these benfits are: Since the electric vehicle does not need gasoline to work, the elcetric vehicle is much more cost efficent. All of the money used on gas can be pocketed. Also, since the electric car has fewer parts than the stantard gasoline car, less money can be used on replacement parts and repairment costs.
 * One of the best benefits of the electric car is that it doesn't need gasoline or oil inorder to function (less oil means less dependency on foreign oil and the oil that is not used can go to other important things)
 * Although electric cars are not 100% emission-free, they emitt far less polutants into the atomsphere than a gasoline powered vehicle.
 * By having fewer polluting byproducts, this means that there is no carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide going into the atmosphere
 * Battery-powered electric cars, besides being cleaner, are more fuel-efficient, get better mileage and have less moving parts to wear out
 * By having less moving parts that wear out, companys don't have to burn as much fossil fuels inorder to make the needed parts and ship them all across the globe.
 * Creates less noise pollution because the engine is almost silent
 * Some electric motors can travel up to 100 miles before they need to be charged
