Are Electric Motors Better Than Gas Powered?

The economic principle I’m exploring is Benefits of converting to Electric vs Gas My research question to help me study the economic principle is “What are the Pros and Cons of converting to electric?” The article on Fortune.com titled Tesla Veteran Explains How Electric Motors Crush Gas Engines” demonstrates this economic principle by arguing/showing The efficiency aspect, Reliability, and reduced pollution.

First, this article exemplifies the efficiency difference in an electric automobiles versus motorized ones. In the article it clearly states that by converting it will increase efficiency. Another benefit is that this will helps save money in hiking gas prices

 Second, These cars are much more reliable and easier to fix if something goes wrong. Additionally, they are cheaper to repair and were proven by several tests to last longer than normal gas powered engines. Unfortunately, keeping these cars in freezing temperatures is not good, so it may affect the range of the Tesla on that charge. For an engine powered car, this will not affect anything. People still decide to use Tesla's however because of the minimal maintenance required for the cars.

 Third, and final point is that it helps prevent extra emissions. In fact, there are no emissions that come with the use of an electric motor. They are also much more reliant than other motors and easier to maintain as well. You never have to worry about an oil change or anything of that nature. This is because you will have an all electric motor that doesn't require nearly as much maintenance.

In my next blog post, I will: What are the differences in speed between gas & electric cars (of similar price)?

  1. The first part is not the most organized, but the thesis and question are explained. The paragraphs are very short and lack textual evidence. There are punctuation errors, and the whole blog is somewhat hard to follow. Include evidence from the reading you did and make it easier to follow and this will be good. I think it is a very interesting topic that I want to know more about.
