i need notes on how electric cars help the environment. Can you give me some notes or some websites i can check out?

Answer
One main reason is its not producing smoke(pollution free). we have to charge the battery to drive the motor that is placed inside the car. Another one thing is while breaking the car the motor inside the car act as generator and it charges the battery so energy is saved here. Electric car helps the environment only when the power that is used to charge the battery is obtained from Renewable energy(solar, wind, hydro etc).

How good are electric cars compared to normal ones? How do they work exactly?

I'm 17, I'll get a car soon, I'm just wondering how electric cars stack up next to a regular car...pros and cons?

Answer
Electric cars come in hybrid and pure-electric forms. Hybrids use gas engines in combination with electric motors, and may or may not have to be plugged in. Pure electric cars need to be plugged in, and the time it takes varies.

This explains the variation in charge times: http://www.plug-in.com/charge-times-how-long-to-fill-your-battery/

If you only plan on driving your car short distances between recharges, then an electric car will save you money in the long-run. However, since you're young and might want to take road trips or travel to college, you might want to wait until prices for electric cars go down.

Performance-wise, they can be pretty equal if you are willing to pay the right price. The available options are less, however, and you should put a little time into researching a car before you buy it. I'm sure you already know to be safe once you get your car. Congrats and Good luck!
