Local car dealer goes ‘green’ with electric cars

ELECTRIC vehicles (EV) and their production have recently emerged as the latest trend in the automobile industry, with various acclaimed and known automobile companies such as Tesla, Nissan, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia and many more joining the bandwagon.
Even luxury brands like Audi, Porsche, as well as BMW have embraced the trend and have placed electric models on sale.
In joining the global shift to gasless vehicles and aiding in the fight against Global Warming, local auto dealer, BM Soat, is now offering all-electric vehicles which produce zero direct emissions.
This new addition will not only play a pivotal role in saving the planet but also in saving people money.
According to the auto sales company, it is gradually catching up with the drift to join the “green initiative” geared at preserving and protecting the environment.
Electric Cars are driven by an electric motor rather than being fuelled by gasoline. The electric motor retrieves its energy via a controller that regulates the degree of power depending on the driver’s accelerator pedal use.

The electric cars are powered by rechargeable batteries. These batteries can also be used for performing other functions like the functioning of the lights and wipers.
Conventional vehicles, on the other hand, are fuelled by gasoline or diesel-powered engines. Electric vehicles, however, are not all the same.
The “plug-in hybrid” vehicles offer gasoline or diesel engine while also offering an electric motor, while other electric vehicles completely forsake liquid fuels and operate solely on electricity.
These are “battery-electric” vehicles. Some electric vehicles, namely “hydrogen fuel cell” vehicles power electric motors by the conversion of hydrogen gas into electricity.
According to BM Soat, one can travel up to 226 miles, on a full charge, for approximately $3,200 in the 2019-2020 Nissan leaf.
The next deal is the 2010-2013 Toyota Allion and Premio for just $3 million cash price or a down payment of $800,000 with up to four years to repay with affordable monthly installments. This, according to the auto dealer is the best price persons could find in the country and it’s a limited-time deal.
In a recent publication by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) it was reported that by the end of 2019, electric vehicles were deployed in over 100 countries around the world.

More than a dozen countries have proposed timelines to transition to all zero-emission vehicles within the next three decades.
Although progress has been made, the global transition to electric vehicles is still at an early stage, and Guyana is also catching up to speed.
The major benefit of an electric car is the contribution it makes towards improving air quality in towns and cities. With no tailpipe, pure electric cars produce no carbon dioxide emissions when being driven. This reduces air pollution considerably.
Put simply, electric cars give us cleaner streets making our towns and cities a better place to be for pedestrians and cyclists.
