I'm considering getting an electric car. What do you think about them?![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

I'm not sure. I like the idea of using electricity instead of gas.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

Me too. But I read that they emit more emissions when produced.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

And you need to use electricity from renewable energies.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

Yes, I read that too. Only when you use energy from renewable sources does an electric car make a difference.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

I think the biggest problem is the batteries. They still need improvement but more people buying one will increase pressure on the companies.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

I guess you're right. And my electricity comes from a green provider.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

Do you plan to drive long distances with the car?![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

No, not really. I just need it to get to work and run errands.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

The infrastructure for electric cars is also constantly improving. I think you should go for it!![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)
