If you have follow my posts, you will realize that I only mention electric vehicle in personal use. In the first post, I talked about how fast a Tesla electric vehicle is. It only takes 4.6 seconds from 0-60 mph. In the second post, I talked about electric vehicle save a lot of gas in order to protect our environment and save money. In the last post, I talked about drivers do not need to worry about gas when they go for long distance trips. Electric vehicles seem really great on different aspects. Then you may have a question in mind, “If electric vehicles are much better than gas vehicles, how come people do not use it on public transportation?”
In fact, there are many countries including The United States, are developing the market of electric vehicles. The New York Times mentioned that New York and other 7 states are going to team up for encouraging more charging stations. So that, electric drivers do not need to worry about charging problems. Those local government are going to purchase some electric vehicle for themselves. In this case, they hope they can encouraging more people to drive electric vehicles. Their action affirmed the advantages of electric vehicles: the safeness, environment friendly and conveniences.
Furthermore, The New York Times pointed out that there is a company already producing electric buses for transit agencies in Los Angeles. Those electric buses can run 155miles on a charge. That is very efficient electric vehicles compare to others. As the government is encouraging more charging stations around the United States, it is going to popularize the market of electric vehicles. In the near future, I believe that government would change all the public buses around the county to be electric vehicles. At that time, the percentages of electric vehicles in the United States should be same as or even more than the percentage of gas vehicles. In this case, people not even can travel around with cheaper costs. They also protecting our environment in order to give the best to our next generation.
It is interesting to see and hear that the electric Vehicle is not forgotten, and they are realizing that the low number of electric vehicle is due to the limited amount of charging station hopefully in the future we can see the an increase amount if these stations.
This is really great. Like you said, maybe one day all NYC transportation will be carried out by electric vehicles 🙂
