They are more environmentally friendly and will reduce the pollution of the air which is the main cause of climate change. It is true that there are some negative aspects of electric cars, such as the mining of minerals which can cause some pollution, but the positive effects on the environment outweigh the negatives.

They are one of the most innovative technologies available to tackle climate change and it is important that we invest in them.
