Driving Project
up bro about this project was meant to Teach us how to ask a good question. The three criteria questions had to meet wer Is it answerable is it specific and is it clear.The question I asked was our electric cars really Better for the environment in the long run.To answer this question I had toDo some research to find similar electric and gas cars to compare then Did some research to find How much CO2 is emitted per kilowatt hour of electricity made and how much CO2 is emitted per gallon of gas burner.I then use simple mutpiulcashin to find The total CO2 emitted to drive the maximum range of the electric car. And thenFound the miles per gallon of the gas car and Then I found out how much gas the car would need to drive the same distance And then again use multiplication to findThe CO2 emended for that drive.I thenI looked into manufacturing, To manufacture 100 kWh battery You produce 17 1/2 metric tons of CO2.Taking that into account to drive a gas car and An electric car 15,000 miles a year Over the 10 year lifespan of the battery The electric car including the creation of the battery emits just under half the amount of CO2 That the gas car emitis.
