Environmental aspects of the electric car

Most cars use gasoline to run and make pollution in the environment. An electric car is powered by batteries and electricity, not gasoline. This means that an electric car does not put out any pollution when it is running. Instead, the electricity used to power the electric car comes from clean sources like solar, wind, and water power. This makes electric cars a lot better for the environment because no pollution is released into the air.
