the illusion of the electric car

paradigm electric car pollution energy vector illusion
There is a misunderstanding about the actual role of the electric cars and the media does not help to elucidate it.

The electricity is an “energy vector” that substitutes the “chemical vector” of the hydrocarbon based fuels. The energy needed to charge the electric cars comes from the same energy matrix in which the non-renewable fuels have the main role.

Electric cars constitute an environmental option for metropolitan areas only concerning the local pollution, either atmospheric or noise, because the pollution that does not affect the city will occur in even greater amount in the place were the energy is being generated, due to the insertion of a energy converter in the system, to convert the chemical energy of the fuel in electric energy for the cars.
