Week Twelve

This article talks about electric cars and the things that are better about them such as batteries that are able to be changed more quickly than filling up a gas tank. It talks about getting state tax incentives if you get an electric car, although they have limited range and can be very expensive.

This article is useful to my research because it helps to show that when the obstacles and barriers above are resolved is when the electric cars will become more mainstream. It also is helpful because it shows both positive and negative aspects of purchasing an electric car.

Week Eleven

This article talks about the electric cars that work for people with families. It talks about not having to have a big gas-guzzling car just to be able to fit your family. There are a few types of electric cars that have more seats and work well for families. Some of them are the Toyota RAV4 EV and the Nissan LEAF.

This article is valuable to my research project because it answers the question that some may have on whether or not there are electric cars that are suitable for families. It is important for me to show that there are electric cars out there that can work for most everyone. Giving examples will help to make the paper more useful.
