Using electric cars for the benefit or harm of the environment? – Tejarat News
According to Tejarat News, for several years, the world’s major car manufacturers have announced their plans to increase the production of electric cars and reduce the amount of gasoline cars, and new electric cars such as the Porsche Taycan, Toyota bZ4X, Audi E-tron, Mercedes-Benz EQ, BMW and iX , Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 have been introduced and released to the market.
The wave of electrification has caused supercar manufacturers such as Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bugatti to enter this field. Of course, this is not just a wave of excitement, but car manufacturers must adapt themselves to air pollution laws. According to the law set by the European Union, from 2030, the production of gasoline cars will be prohibited in the member countries.
Currently, a variety of electric cars are sold in the market of foreign countries, and fans of these types of cars believe that the cost of maintaining and charging electric cars is lower than gasoline cars. But the high price of electric cars raises doubts.
Khodro 45 site has compared some costs of electric and gasoline cars in a report, which you can read below.
Energy consumption (electricity/gasoline)
We have used “liters” and “kilowatt hours” per hundred kilometers to calculate energy consumption.
- Mini Cooper: 7.5 liters per hundred kilometers
- Mini Electric: 19 kWh per hundred kilometers
- Hyundai Kona: 7.8 liters per hundred kilometers
- Hyundai Kona Electric: 17 kWh per hundred kilometers
Gasoline cost
The cost of a liter of regular gasoline in the United States is $ 2.44, and a liter of super gasoline (for the Mini Cooper) costs $ 3.11. The cost of gasoline for Mini Cooper and Hyundai Kona for 72 thousand kilometers is as follows.
Electric cars in Iran
Even though electric cars are one of the most likely options for the automotive industry in the world, and even though electric cars are becoming one of the main options in global markets, but due to the US sanctions and the ban on car imports, as well as the backwardness of the Iranian auto industry, we should not expect In the next few years, we will see the presence of electric cars on the streets and roads of the country.
Another problem that exists in the way of electric cars in Iran is the country’s electricity industry. As we witnessed in the summer of 1400, the country’s power plants were not able to supply the electricity needed for domestic and industrial use, and the electricity was cut off several times a day.
As for Iran, in the month of March, Abbas Aliabadi, the Minister of Peace, said that people’s expectations about the car market are right, but not all car problems are caused by the car manufacturer. The necessary infrastructure for the electrification of cars in Tehran will be provided by the end of this year by setting up charging stations. 72 car fast charging stations will be set up in Tehran by the government week, which will allow cars to travel up to 500 km per day, and this issue is extremely economical.
He added that the opportunity to introduce electric cars is a historic opportunity and the use of electric cars in the country should be increased in line with the world. There is no problem in supplying electricity to electric cars, and you can use a 5 amp socket to charge the car in rural and urban areas. Paying attention to infrastructure is necessary to support production. Export-oriented companies spend their currency without worry, and the government is looking to implement a plan to ease production in this sector. Trade is the balance between production and consumption, and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade pursues balance in the market with its export and import strategy. Every company has export goods, export currency is paid to the company so that it does not have to worry about financing in production. From now on, export-oriented companies can spend their currency without worry, and the government is looking to implement this plan.
In total, due to the sanctions and the lack of necessary facilities in the country, and of course the dire situation of Iran’s automotive industry, we cannot expect to see the production of all-electric cars in Iran any time soon. Moreover, it is still not clear whether the benefits of these cars in consumption What is energy and fuel?
