The Use Of Electric Vehicles : Is It Getting Better -Jimmy, Hana, Riko

We thought about the development of transportation.

We considered that electric vehicles (electric cars) will gradually replace fossil fuel vehicles (gasoline cars) in the future.

According to the graph from Statista, the global electric car sales are incredibly increasing, especially in China and Europe. As we can see, the electric car sales in those countries are doubled between last 10 years. From this data, we can know that electric cars are becoming more popular for last few years.

This graph shows the comparison between electric and gasoline cars in same company. Even electric cars costs more for cars, taxes, insurance, and others, total cost is less. It means electric cars have more advantage than gasoline ones.

We also discussed that electric cars have the potential to reduce these emissions causing global warming. We could know by the New UCS analysis graph that the average new battery electric cars produce roughly half the global warming pollution than a comparable gasoline cars.


Most people are beginning to accept and use electric vehicles instead of gasoline vehicles. However, there are still some reasons against buying an electric cars. According to the statistic of the survey based on 1,004 people, people usually think about the problems in charging and the distances linked to the battery.

      Hello my name is Athit Komin, my nickname is Alpha, people usually call me by my nickname. I lived in Bangkok which is the capital city of Thailand. Early this year, I just graduated from high school and I will be going to the university in Thailand this August. When talking about my favorite subject I like the most in high school would definitely be Physical Education because I do not have to think much during the class and I also get to play with my friends in this subject. During the study in Dunedin I am staying in Kenmure with Pooley’s family. I used to come to Dunedin for high school in Yr9 and Yr10, so I am very familiar with this place and the best part of Dunedin is the view of the city and  the beach. Coming back to Dunedin this time is to study an English course at the Otago University, the reason I choose this course is to improve my writing skills and also reading skills, which will help me in the future with my career. Furthermore, I am an easygoing and introverte
