Energy Costs of Driving Electric Cars

Electric cars consume less expensive energy. Driving costs are lower. However, electric cars are responsible for emitting more carbon dioxide and more pollutants when electricity is generated from coal. They have shorter driving ranges and need long times for recharging. They are also more expensive. A car driving 25 miles on a gallon of gasoline must pay $16 at the pump versus an electric car, which pays only $5.28 to the utility.

The media are full of news about electric cars. The $100,000 Tesla electric sports car is going to be sold soon, automakers are falling over each other to announce new electric vehicles, and entrepreneurs across the world are jockeying for venture capital.
