During a time of a suffering economy and high oil prices just around the corner, the concept of electric cars used by everybody in the near future is a Utopian in its design. Electric cars started in the 1900s and its level of mass interest slowly increased due to a focused interest in environment friendly emission vehicles. With current technological advances, the design of the electric car has been refined and is truly an efficient environment friendly and eases the pain of gas price hikes. The true beauty to this Utopian design is that they run 100% on electricity only, removing our dependency on depleting fossil fuels. With such an innovative and environmentally friendly design meant to improve society, why don’t we see more electric cars out there on our roads today? It’s a combination of many factors, pressure from gas companies, recharge times, and electric cars are pretty expensive. Even with those factors against them, electric cars were designed to remove our unhealthy dependency on fossil fuels. It’s sad to see this Utopian design go unused and underutilized since it can really have a positive impact on our everyday lives. So why not just unplug your cars from the outlet and roll out.
