Are electric cars better than regular gas-powered cars? Well, there are benefits to both types of vehicles, but there are also many downsides to both. Gas-powered cars run on gasoline and diesel while electric cars run on electricity. Some car manufacturers sell a mix of gas-powered and electric-powered in one car called a hybrid.
Gas vehicles or combustion engines are run by compressing gas and air in a chamber and then igniting the gas and air. A gas tank for a car can range from 13 to 30 gallons. On average a car can get 24 miles per gallon. That means you can drive 312 miles to 720 miles on one tank of gas. Refueling a car like this can take a matter of minutes.
Electric cars run on a big battery under the car. The batter is charged by braking or a 240-volt outlet. The cars can run for about 300 to 400 miles on one charge. Then it will take 15 min to a half hour.
Electric cars will be more and more relevant as time goes on. But I don't think electric cars will ever fully take over. I think if people can figure out how to charge cars in a matter of minutes, and make the batteries last longer, I think electric cars will be more useful.
Do you think electricals will be mandated in the future?
Do you think gas cars are going to stay around forever?
Do you think you will own an electric vehicle when you are older?

I predict that electric cars will try to be mandated in the future but I know that the people in this country will not let that happen. Many people like gas and diesel vehicles a lot and they will definetly be around for a long time. I never plan on owning an electric vehicle because it just sound inefficiant and like a bad idea.
I think that eletic cars are worse for the enivorment knowing that they use worse rescoures that are not made for that much use in the daily world. I would never buy a eletric car for the reasoning of I do not want to have to charge my car for a long time on a road trip.
