Preliminary Studies on the Environment Friendly Electric Vehicles - Are Electric Vehicles Really Greener

Natural resources have been overused and polluted over time, necessitating the use of renewable and environmentally friendly products. Electric vehicles are one of them. These take the place of cars that run on petrol. These are among the most important new technologies at the moment. But are they really as eco-friendly as they are marketed to be? The major goal of this paper is to determine whether or not electric cars are truly environmentally good over the course of their whole lives. To compile information and finish this particular work, a number of study papers that have already been released by renowned writers, journals, and websites were examined. After reading these articles, it became clear that electric vehicles are not at all environmentally beneficial; rather, when compared to regular gasoline vehicles, they produce higher emissions of dangerous greenhouse gases. The fact that electric vehicles produce no emissions from their tailpipes while they are in motion is well known, yet these emissions are already produced during the production and assembly of the vehicles as well as when they are being charged. These manufacturing facilities are already contributing to pollution on behalf of the electric industry since the industries where they are assembled and manufactured are powered by electricity, which is created by igniting fossil fuels such as coal. After an electric vehicle's life cycle is complete, disposing of the batteries can be a difficult issue because they contain potentially dangerous compounds for the environment. The primary solution is to power assembly plants and manufacturing facilities with clean energy such as renewable energy sources (solar and wind). This will have a significant positive impact. It will also make electric vehicles much greener and better for the environment, if all charging stations are powered by clean energy sources. When these cars' lives are through, their batteries must not be thrown away but rather utilized for secondary functions in businesses and homes, solving the problem of battery disposal. For a quicker uptake of electric vehicles in the Indian auto market, the government has also announced a plan to install a large number of charging stations across the nation and offers subsidy programs like FAME. The future of transportation will thus be electric vehicles, but only if they are powered throughout their entire life cycle by clean and renewable energy sources.
