🚘Driving Us Into The Future🚘

IALT: Read and understand the text 'Driving us into the future' 

Starting from today for reading we have moved on from the text Designed for good, we are now reading from the text 'Driving us into the future.' This text we are now reading is about Electric cars and Fuel-powered cars, Electric cars need to charge and when they are charging it can take 6-8 hours to be fully charged.



Here are the PRO'S and the CON'S of an Electric car:

PRO'S
- Electric cars are cheaper to run, the cost of charging an electric car is much less than paying for petrol.

- Electric cars can be recharged by being plugged into a powere outlet at home or at a public charging station. Charging staions around New Zealand are begining to grow more and more.

- Electric cars can reach at the same speed as fuel-powered cars and are much quieter and smoother to ride in.

- No exhaust emissions means less air pollution and no greenhouse gases.

- Electric cars have fewer parts than fuel-powered cars and so they need less maintenance.

CON'S
- New electric cars cost more to buy than fuel-powered cars.

- You can refill your fuel-powered car within minutes but with electric cars when charging them it will take 6-8 hours to be fully charged.

- Most electric cars can't travel as far as fuel-powered cars before they need recharging.

- Electric cars batteries will recently need to be changed which is expensive.

While reading this text I learnt that Electric cars have the same battry as computers, I also learnt that the first successful electrc car was made in 1890 by William Morrison in the United States.
