Brighton Decides to Go a Bit Greener

Brighton has just announced that it is going to install 20 roadside charging stations for electric vehicles. This is part of a big project to try and make Brighton a more Zero-emission city.

It is worth considering that maybe some people who own electric vehicles think they are bigger and better than the rest of us? Well if you watched a recent 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 was all just craziness put there to annoy the people of Chicago (where a lot of the episode was based) as well as to wind up everyone who owns an electric vehicle.

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. It also works out that the price per mile is a lot more economical for an electric vehicle than it is for 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.
