Electric vehicles are increasingly becoming widely adopted, thereby saving carbon emissions. Unlike fossil fuel burned combustion engine vehicles, electric vehicles operate using electricity, mostly from renewable sources. Overall, such lowering of emissions is even more pronounced when wind, sun, or hydroelectric power is included in the energy mix.
The main reasons why electric vehicles supersede their cousins are as follows:

1. Lower Emissions: The EVs do not emit anything at the tailpipe, and its contribution towards reduced pollutants in urban areas will certainly reduce harmful impacts on public health.

2. Efficiency on Energy: Electric motors are intrinsically more efficient than the IC engines. EVs convert more than 60% of the electrical energy drawn from the grid to power to the wheels; conventional vehicles convert less than 20% of the energy stored in gasoline to power to the wheels.

3. Lower Operating Cost: Since the cost of electricity is usually cheaper there running cost for their vehicles come out cheaper compared to those that are powered by gasoline or diesel. Furthermore, any given EV has to contain way less mechanical parts and pieces as compared to that contained in a conventional car, therefore, know has low maintenance costs as the latter.

4. Energy Security: If the above large scale introduction of the EV is embraced, there will be reduced dependence on imported fossil fuels that will make energy security and stability improved.

5. High-Tech Innovation: An electric car is often developed with specialized features such as regenerative brake and car connectivity that are essential to a more comprehensive car ride.
