Brighton has recently made the announcement that is going to install 20 roadside charging stations for electric vehicles. This is part of a big scheme to try and enable Brighton to be more of a Zero-emission city.

One thing to debate is the fact that some people who already own an electric car think they are bigger and better than everyone else? If you consider an episode of South Park it would certainly seem so. The South Park characters who bought an electric car suddenly seemed to think they were better than the people without the car.

Of course this is all nonsense and just put there to annoy the people of Chicago (where a lot of the episode was based) as well as everyone who own one of the electric cars.

However is the answer to the worlds pollution actually in these cars or does it cause more hassle than good? Well in actual fact there is a lot of unused electric at night as the power stations cannot just shut down for twelve hours so without building anymore stations we could power millions of electric cars at no extra cost to the environment. If we should have to build more power plants, we would hope that they will be cleaner plants. As well as this, the cost per mile obviously works out a lot cheaper for an electric vehicle than it does for a gas vehicle. The truth is it is all to do with efficiency as gasoline cars are 25% efficient whereas electric are around 95% meaning that a mile on electric costs a penny and a mile on gas costs around 15 cents.

So if you are about to buy a new BMW or buy a new Mercedes you should hold off and wait until an electric car comes your way. Whether it is used cars for sale there is sure to be an eventual upgrade for a car to help take down your C02 emissions.
