Gasoline cars have dominated the streets and are the standard since the twentieth century, however, exacerbated environmental issues have demanded governments to encourage the adoption of electric cars, the sustainable counterpart. This essay will explore two potential incentives: offering monetary incentives and providing more facilities.
One compelling method to persuade the embracement of electric cars lies in providing financial motivation. By offering money to car manufacturers for every car manufactured, the size of the electric car market would grow, making them more prevalent to consumers. This practice increases the possibility of a consumer noticing the product, showing interest and ultimately purchasing it. In addition to this, decreasing taxes for electric cars while increasing those for petrol-powered ones could make electric cars more enticing, as most consumers find cheaper products more attractive.
In addition to the points above, the government should also provide more electric car facilities. While petrol stations are found almost around every corner, charging points for electric vehicles are less accessible and are usually stationed only in cities, limiting driving ranges to only short trips around the town. This issue triggers rage anxiety as drivers worry that there might not be recharge stations available when visiting unfamiliar areas. However, if the government operates charging points in petrol stations, increasing the accessibility of this facility, range anxiety and limited distances would diminish, making electric cars enticing enough to rival oil-powered ones.
In conclusion, I believe two compelling incentives would persuade the population to purchase electric cars. The first is implementing financial incentives by encouraging the manufacturing of electric cars, making them accessible and well-known among consumers. The second suggestion is to operate more recharge stations to alleviate distance limitations, so electric cars could rival their gasoline counterparts.
