 Need of Electric Vehicle
• to save the environment (472 millions metric
tones of carbon pollution by IC engines)
• Increasing crude oil prices
• reduce our dependence on foreign oil
• Electricity is cheaper than gas.
• Electric cars pollute less than IC engine cars.
• Electric cars are much more reliable and
• Less maintenance
• don't need to oil changed every 3,000 miles.
