Electric vehicles have been regarded as replacements for gas vehicles because of the fact that they don’t have tailpipe emissions. Tailpipe emissions releases harmful gases such as carbon monoxide causing air pollution. The first concept of EVs were first introduced in the 1830s when Robert Anderson built an electric carriage powered by batteries. During the 1870s-1880s France and the UK started further development of EVs and by the early 1900s EVs where a hit because of their simplicity and quietness. Although this may seem like the pros outweigh the cons that isn’t necessarily true.

In the today’s time EVs are used as a replacement for gas vehicles to combat gas emissions, climate change, and air pollution. EVs also don’t need gas just electricity solving the problem of gas money. EVs are also quiet and smooth because of the electric motors. There are also downsides to EVs such as expensive cost of EVs, and limited range. The limited range can be from 150miles – 350miles requiring often charges during road trips. Charging EVs can take up to 30-60 minutes in public chargers while charging at home takes around 8-12 hours not to mention the high electricity bill.

Although EVs are a significant upgrade from gasoline used cars they still have many downsides. In the near future people will begin to develop EVs that combat these problems. In the next 25 years EVs are most likely to dominate the roads, have faster, maybe instant charging. With a low cost making EVs accessible to everyone in the near future. EVs maybe could have advanced autonomous driving by the year 2050.
