Electric or alcohol car?
Electric or alcohol car?
Evaluating the best alternative - from an environmental point of view - is a must for anyone who wants to make good choices.
There are two main parameters that are at stake. The emissions generated to produce the car and those when using the car.
For now the emissions to produce the car show that the electric generates more. Mainly because of the batteries. But...in its use, the electric is way better!
Thus, what is observed, in general, is that there is a "balance point" for each model. If the car is not used "intensively" alcohol is better. If "it is the electric wins!
For those who want to decide objectively, it will be interesting and convenient to find out whether the anticipated mileage per year justifies the electric one or not.
