Are electric cars better than gas cars? the main reason I chose this question is that I was always fond of learning about the future and how the outcome will be but it usually takes longer than expected for a theory of technology that will happen in future,  what drives me about this research question is that I already know that electric cars are better than gas cars because it helps reduce global warming. I expect to find a lot of good things about electric cars and how gas cars are really affecting global warming and slowly killing the earth that we live in. Also what I still want answers to is if the prices of charges will rise if the usage of gas cars are reduced or will it lower? My expectations for this research are high because there are many reasons why electric cars are the solution to all our problems with climate change, and it is very convenient to have one now because since there is a war going on between Ukraine and Russia the gas prices are rising faster, so this year is the year where electric cars are going to thrive unless you want to wait until that gas price rises to $5,$6,$7,$8 and so on. It takes $10-$45 to fuel electric cars but gas cars now cost around $150 to fuel the tank electric vehicles are the answer now and tomorrow. There are complications when it comes to electric cars like there aren’t enough charging points mainly because they are still new and by some time there will be way more charging points and electric cars are expensive when it comes to buying it but not the maintenance also the battery has rare metal to replace so its kinda pricey but according to Jon Witt from the article “Costs of electric car battery replacement” it explained that “If a battery is within its manufacturer warranty, typically 8 years and 100,000 miles, then you should get a replacement battery at no extra cost.” This shows me that even though the battery is the most expensive part of the car to replace it does come with an 8-year warranty and can be free to replace but if you get no warranty with the car it will be way more expensive to replace, the battery is rare to replace so recommend the warranty but on the other hand battery prices are decreasing each year because another quote from the passage it says “They found a 16% decline in battery pack cost between 2007 and 2019”.

 

Unit 2 draft introduction

My research question is, are electric cars better than gas cars? In my opinion I believe that electric cars are better than gas cars Because they cost less to maintain and it’s cheaper to recharge the car then to pay for gas and it saves the economy from global warming. I think Electric cars are the future of all the cars because at some point people have to stop using gas cars because it only makes global warming worse and worse and it’s not gonna get better if we keep on using gas or oil in general. But there are also disadvantages Of owning an electric car for example it’s harder to repair than a gas car because not many mechanics are experience with electric cars because electric cars were introduced not so long ago so not many mechanics have much experience with electrical cars so it will be more expensive to repair than a gas cars also another disadvantage is most likely in the future if people were more likely use electric cars than gas cars, most likely the charging prices for electric cars are going to dramatically rise. What I expect to find in my research is a lot of information that is going to have the answer I need .I expect to find more good things about electric cars then gas cars and also  why it should be the future of the cars. I will find negative things about electric cars that I probably don’t know of but I’m positive there are way more negative things about gas cars. If I find information that goes completely against what I had expected which is not likely but even though I will still write about it because even though I was wrong I learned from it, but in my opinion I do not think that what I am researching the information that I find will not go completely against me because I know saving the earth from global warming is important to most of the society. I already know that electric cars are more superior than gas cars if not better it may have his disadvantages but gas cars have more disadvantages. I want to research this topic because I’m very interested what would happen in the future like if the cars are going to be more advanced or if we’re gonna have self driving cars or how transportation is going to be like and etc.
