I watched the
"Who Killed the Electric car?" video. It is surprising me that the
fact electric cars have been existed for a long time ago. I always thought that
electric cars were actually a new technology to help to reduce gas emission
produced by gas car. In the video stated that after the high popularity of the
electric car in the1960. The fuel energy car came out with many advantages
compared to electric car. I’m convinced that people doesn’t really care about
the environment where they live in but more to the stuffs that they use. It
needs time to change people lifestyle. If we were given the knowledge about the
environmental impact, people will definitely more careful to what they are
doing because it will affect the environment. I believe there must be a reason
why electric car was designed at that time and I think the reason why electric
car was not popular anymore after the release of the fuel energy car was
because not many people was aware with the effect of petrol cars to the
environment at that time beside of the quality of the fuel energy car.
“Who killed the
electric car?” - The growth of fuel energy cars killed the electric car. It can
be seen that these days almost every households have their own car and we are
hardly see electric car around because I think people rely on nature resources
so much. Although electric car is a lot more environmental friendly, like they
are less polluting, quiet, smooth and charged in the house, most of fuel-based
cars have better appearance design where people attracted to choose and also
the price of petrol. The solution to
bring back electric car is giving knowledge to the people about the advantages
or effect of petrol car to the environment. Designers should get involved to
this, designing a better appearance and quality of the environmental friendly car.
It might help people to use more sustainable friendly product.
