Will the electric car solve some problems or create addition

Will the electric car solve some problems or create additional problems ? For example, We would have to create more electricity. How? Electricity produced by burning coal or natural gas or nuclear power accounts for over 95% of electricity produced. Wind and solar are about 3%.. We are pushing limits, but demand for more electricity grows. Electric cars would add to the growth.. Critical thinking now required.

Solution

Similarly as the coin has two sides, this case is the same where the electric cars are indeed used to reduce the effects of pollution in the soicety which is a beneficial sign. However on the other hand, more electricity is also required. Let\'s take a assumption where the pollution costs if we use normal costs is around X and if we use electric cars X amount will be saved. But consider the renewable energy generation for cars is Y and this cost is incurred. If we can design and run electric cars in such a way that X- Y is positive or the total amount saved is positive, then electric cars are beneficial to us, else it isnt.
