My topic was 9th.
Government should eliminate subsidies and incentives for manufacturers and consumers of electric cars as they are too costly and do not do enough to protect the environment
As I've done masters in Environmental engineering + Own a Hybrid vehicle, i attempted this essay, my outline was as follows
Introduction
How electric cars work
Simple electric / hybrid cars
Toyota Prius - Hybrid Synergy Drive (Explained)
Honda Electric cars - Integrated Motor Assist (Explained)
Opposition to electric cars
Battery mining
Cost
Carbon tax relief
(And other points which i do not remember )
Advantages of electric cars
Fuel Efficiency
Lesser Emissions
(2-3 points more added here)
Progress in electric cars - Model T Tesla Electric car
Electric cars and Pakistan
Statistics about electric cars
Conclusion
My conclusion was, that i went against the topic, i argued that electric cars, though they are in development phase, but incentives should be provided so that manufacturers should develop this technology even further. at a time when resource supply such as oil will decrease with time, Hybrid technology is the future. Even if we have to ignore the economical aspect, but these cars should be promoted.
