Exploring Eco-Friendly Car Options

The video discusses the growing importance of eco-friendly cars due to rising CO2 levels. It covers battery-powered cars, hydrogen fuel cells, and plug-in hybrids, highlighting their benefits and challenges. The video also addresses criticisms of electric cars and notes the adoption of hybrid technology by major car manufacturers.

What is a major limitation of battery-powered cars?

• They produce high CO2 emissions.

• They have limited range due to battery capacity.

• They are expensive to run.

• They are noisy.

Why is hydrogen fuel cell technology less advanced than battery technology?

• It is more expensive to develop.

• It started much earlier than battery technology.

• There are fewer people working on hydrogen technology.

• It has no environmental benefits.

What is a unique feature of plug-in hybrid cars?

• They can only be charged from the mains.

• They are powered solely by solar energy.

• They use a large diesel engine.

• They have an onboard generator powered by a small petrol engine.

What do critics say about electric cars?

• They have no environmental benefits.

• They are slower than conventional cars.

• They are too expensive.

• They just transfer emissions from the car to the power station.

What is the environmental impact of electric cars powered by coal-fired electricity?

• They increase CO2 emissions by 50%.

• They double the CO2 emissions.

• They eliminate around 50% of CO2 output per kilometer.

• They have no impact on CO2 emissions.
