Week Three

This website talks about the good and bad that deal with electric cars. It talks about how electric cars are quick and quiet. It tells that they are good because you can charge them at home and don't have to go to the gas station to fill up. Electric cars are also good because they are cheaper to operate. It also talks about the negative things about electric cars. They have limited range and a longer time to refuel.

This article will be very useful to use in the research project because it shows the things that are great and better about electric cars, but it also talks about their downfalls. Everything has good and bad so it will be great to also talk about the things that aren't so good in order to show that it is understood that there are downfalls with electric cars, but that the good outweigh the bad.

Week Two

This source talks about how the population is growing which means that there are more cars which are creating more pollution. It talks about how we need to reduce the amount that we use the automobile and how many people drive them all the time. It tells why we need to use electric cars and why they are beneficial. This source talks about why we like cars and how we can reduce the cost of cars.

This book is useful in using as a source for my resource project because it helps to show the need for becoming more sustainable in the area of transportation. It explains that people are constantly in cars which are emitting tons of pollution so if they just switch to electric cars then it creates sustainability. The cost is something that the project will talk about so it is good that it shows prices and talks about them and how they can be lowered.

Week One

This article talks about how electric cars cause less pollution than gasoline cars. It talks about how they are able to do that because of how they run and work. It shows a sample car and the parts of it and which each is responsible for.

This article will be important to use in my research project because it helps to bring the point that electric cars are sustainable because they give off less pollution. It also is important and helpful in showing how the cars work. It shows how they run which is important because that is one of the questions I am working to answer in my research.
