My type of research will talk about the harm of using a petroleum car, which has many side

effects on the environment as well as the animals and living organisms. But the majority of my
research will be about electric cars/vehicles. I will explain why petrol cars should be switched to
electric cars and the advantages and disadvantages of using them.
What is research?
The definition of research is actually to search or investigate the topic required, that will solve
specific problems. According to Google: “The word research is derived from the Middle French
"recherche", which means "to go about seeking".

will not gain as much popularity as petrol/dieseled cars and that it has many problems that need
to be fixed. This made many people agree with the statement, which has made electric cars
disappear and never be found again, but one person has changed the mind of many people about
electric cars, and have made them appear again and gain some popularity. Electric cars are more

likely to be back on the market much stronger than before, due to the lack of natural fuel in most
Nowadays many people are using petrol cars on the road, these cars have become a very
common transportation that is used daily. Petrol cars are one of the most popular vehicles that are
taking a huge impact on our life, They have become so much popular that many car brands
started building these types of cars and manufacturing them. But petrol cars had a very serious
Petrol cars produce carbon monoxide which affects the solar system and has other side
effects. While, on the other hand, researchers have found an appropriate tool for a much more
sustainable future in transportation, which is electric cars. This is especially true for small-size
Even though, aside from the battery, CO2-LCA of BEVs appears to be fairly well
understood, the life cycle effect of BEVs in areas other than their potential to contribute to global
warming paints a complex and still unfinished picture. Used vehicles can also be converted from
combustion to electric because the technology of the electric car is relatively simple, except for
the battery. It appears feasible to cut CO2-equivalent emissions by 80% in this manner. (factor 5
efficiency improvement). electric cars have started to pop up on the streets, especially these days.
Electric cars have started to get popular in some places because of their huge benefits, they
have started reducing the damages that were caused because of petrol cars and reduced the

number of toxic gases produced. “Future emissions and energy consumption in the transportation
industry have been linked to electric vehicles as a key technology”. Because of these arguments,
people have split into two groups, some would agree to use petrol cars, and others would agree to
The people who have agreed to use electric cars have suggested that electric cars also have
other benefits, for instant, electric cars have a Lithium-Ion battery, cutting-edge technology in
electric cars, and a high degree of autonomy. This means that cars can travel at high velocities as
a result. Another benefit is that electric cars use less energy to move or to stop, which will reduce
Other advantages are that electric cars contain a highly efficient sensor, which can detect
the cars or other vehicles passing beside them, it could also detect the car in front or behind in
case of a collision and it will “automatically stop as a result of the collision sensor disconnecting
the batteries”.Another benefit of using an electric car is that it has an electromagnetic brake
which is very useful during an emergency brake, and also it has no noise when moving which
Electric cars also have some other health benefits, by reducing the air pollution and gas
emitted by petrol cars, electric cars have zero emissions of EVs, which will reduce the air
pollution, which will decrease the number of problems and other health issues.
While for people who have disagreed with to use of electric cars have suggested that “the

price of electric cars sold in the car market is very expensive. On average, $12,000 to $70,000.
After a certain period of time after the operation of the purchased electric car, its market price
will fall significantly (we can see that the price of electric cars operated for about 5 years has
decreased by 4500).”
In my opinion, I would more likely choose an electric car than a petrol/diesel car. This is
because electric cars have much more benefits than other cars, which makes them much more
efficient to be found in most parts of the world. Electric cars are much more useful than the
others, this is due to the amazing features that electric cars have. For instant, electric cars could
help save the world from global warming, which will benefit animals, plants, and other living
organisms to survive and live peacefully. Electric cars could also reduce the burning of toxic
gases in the atmosphere which will benefit the health of an affected person.
An appropriate tool for a much more sustainable future in transportation is an electric car.
This is especially true for small-size BEVs, which are currently neglected in the literature on
LCA. Despite the fact that, aside from the battery, CO2-LCA of BEVs appears to be fairly well
understood, the life cycle effect of BEVs in areas other than their potential to contribute to global
warming paints a complex and still unfinished picture. Used vehicles can also be converted from
combustion to electric because the technology of the electric car is relatively simple, with the
exception of the battery. It appears feasible to cut CO2-equivalent emissions by 80% in this

There are many types of electric cars, but some of them are hybrid cars. Hybrid cars use
different systems to store energy and reduce harmful emissions, they use a type of emission that
depends on the amount of energy or fossil fuel that the car contains.
There are different types of hybrid cars, that can be found totally different than
petrol/diesel cars, this is because they contain different containers for the fuel and different
containers for the energy. These types of cars work normally but use different emissions every
time, for instance, if one of the containers is finished, the other will be turned on immediately,
this will help the driver to reach a near station and fill it up again. But it could also be a benefit in
another way, for example, Hybrid cars could help charge batteries for other cars which could be
There are three categories for the state of energy for HEV implementation, which are:
energy sources, energy storage, and energy conversion device. For Hybrid electric car energy
sources, they use a special type of renewable energy applied for the EV, which is the battery.
Researchers have shown that electric cars have been powered using lead-acid batteries for more
than a century. In the United States in 1900, 28% of automobiles were electrically propelled.
Because they can store and transmit energy, batteries are more effective.
For Hybrid electric car energy storage, energy storage serves two crucial purposes: it
provides an HEV with a backup energy supply and aids in regenerative braking. This will help
store more energy than normal cars. While for a Hybrid electric car energy conversion device, It

is necessary for energy conversion devices to deliver constant voltage to the load.
