Benefits of electric vehicles
There are many benefits of electric vehicles:
- EVs don't release air pollution from their exhaust which leads to better air quality for everyone. Air pollution can cause health impacts such as asthma, cardiovascular or immune system problems.
- EVs don't contribute greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere which reduces the impact on climate change.
In Ontario, transportation is one of the biggest sources of GHG emissions and is a key target area for reduction. - EVs are very quiet when driven because the electric motor doesn't make noise.
- Using electricity to fuel your car is much cheaper than buying gasoline or diesel for your vehicle. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, EVs are up to 8 times cheaper to fuel than gasoline cars!
