I'm considering getting an electric car. What do you think about them?en
I'm not sure. I like the idea of using electricity instead of gas.en
Me too. But I read that they emit more emissions when produced.en
And you need to use electricity from renewable energies.en
Yes, I read that too. Only when you use energy from renewable sources does an electric car make a difference.en
I think the biggest problem is the batteries. They still need improvement but more people buying one will increase pressure on the companies.en
I guess you're right. And my electricity comes from a green provider.en
Do you plan to drive long distances with the car?en
No, not really. I just need it to get to work and run errands.en
The infrastructure for electric cars is also constantly improving. I think you should go for it!en
Thank you for all your input!en
