Why Electric Vehicles?

One of the many reasons electric vehicles were created was to reduce carbon emissions.

1. The only way to release almost no emission while driving can only happen with vehicles that run on electricity.
2. Biofuels couldn't achieve zero-emissions and require massive amounts of electricity and fossil fuels to be created. 
3. Only electricity is infrastructure-ready.
4. Cost per mile is cheaper with electricity.
5. Electricity generation and distribution is publicly regulated. Public and citizen involvement in pricing and rule-making is not possible with petroleum or bio-fuels.
6. Electricity generation will be ever more renewable,cleaner, diversified, distributed, redundant, and secure.
7. Ensure that electricity generation will be more renewable, cleaner, diversified, distributed, redundant, and secure.
8. Plug-in hybrids and electric cars offer a difference in kind rather than just degree.
