Polemic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Transportation Science & Technology, grade: 1.6, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: Electric cars have emerged at a time when a constellation of issues is gathering among the global population. From a personal perspective, it is apparent that electric cars are not as beneficial to human race as it is claimed by some people. First, they pose health risk to the users due to electromagnetic radiations. Second, they cause harm to the environment. Finally, these cars are not convenient to the consumers. It is apparent that electric cars are not as beneficial as it is preached by most crusaders. Evidence indicates that these cars are not safe, long-lasting and convenient for consumers. However, proponents argue that electric cars are safe. Second, electric cars are not environmental-friendly, especially due to their production process and disposal. In contrast, proponents claim that the cut in CO2 emission outweigh their environmental harm. Finally, electric cars are not convenient to the consumers due to affordability, mileage and recharging period. However, it is argued that these cars are quick with not fueling point visits. Conclusively, it is apparent that the debate on electric cars is not varnishing from public talk any time in a foreseeable future. Therefore, this essay seeks to justify that electric cars are not any better than the ordinary cars.
