When electric cars are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is that they do not pollute the environment, the truth is that studies have shown that they pollute the same as conventional or gasoline-powered cars, this is because electric cars need fossil energy sources such as coal. For example, countries like China and Japan, which are countries that depend on coal, have this type of vehicle, they will generate more environmental pollution even in developing countries like Malaysia because electric cars require fossil fuels – carbon.
even in developing countries like Malaysia because electric cars require fossil fuels – carbon.
The only less polluting way is that it is accompanied by a low carbon network, one more challenge for Malaysia that depends on coal.
an alternative for countries like France and Norway that depend on coal for their nuclear and electric plants rather than their cars.
Alternatives for countries that depend on coal for their nuclear or hydroelectric plants, such as France and Norway, can drive electric vehicles instead of those powered by oil, the problem for defenders of the use of coal is many in the world and already in 26 countries, it is planned to make 1600 plants which will reach 43% worldwide in production which leads to environmental pollution.
In Germany, it was supposed that wind and solar energy would replace nuclear energy, but it does not work because it is intermittent energy, that is, when there is no wind and the sun does not shine, this energy cannot be counted. For this reason, vehicles need available fossil fuels. always like gas, oil, and coal. which exceeds 80% of consumption in Germany, therefore, charging electric cars does not significantly reduce CO2 emissions, there is only an 8.7% difference in CO2 emissions between electric vehicles and oil vehicles.
