We have broken our research into three parts (but we're still not finished with planning):
- We inform ourselves about electric cars
- We are looking for information about environmental change through e-cars
- We do interviews and organize an electric car
Our first questions are:
How far does an average electric car get?
- about 450 km.
How are they built and what are the advantages and disadvantages?
- research - Link to the answer
Are there different types of electric cars?
- Yes, electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid, possibly water cars.
- research - Link to the answer
How did they get the idea?
- The idea came to the car companies through various protests from people about the environment.
Is there research by specialists?
- Answer not found yet.
The environment changes a lot because of the electric cars.
They are very environmentally friendly. They have 0 CO2 emissions and other pollutants. They are also very quiet and do not disturb anybody. The only disadvantage I have read so far is that they are too expensive and the charging stations are limited. I can understand this, because I think that you can't mass produce a new product when it is fresh on the market. You also have to see if you can find enough customers and if it is worth to continue production. But in my opinion the electric cars are very well received. You can see this especially with the Tesla car brand. I see at least 4-5 Teslas every day and that is a lot for a car with electric power.
We were lucky and have already organized an interview. We don't know yet how and when we will be able to do it, but it has been granted to us. We have also been given an electric car to look at and drive on Zurich with this car. I am very much looking forward to this day, because I am very interested to see the reaction of various people in Zurich. What also interests me is how it looks exactly in the car and under the hood. From these experiences we try to capture various things with videos.
