What You Want to Know About Electric Car

Last Friday, Mr. Jiang from Gogoro came to our class and gave a speech. He talked about electric cars and a lot of things about Gogoro, and some interesting things. Today's article will have a few key points: first, electric cars have been around for 100 years; second, electric cars are better than gasoline cars, so why don't people buy them; and third, Gogoro wants people to replace gasoline cars with electric cars.

When Mr. Jiang came, he mentioned that electric cars actually existed 100 years ago. At that time, electric cars were very popular, but later on, they fell out of fashion. After the electric car fell out of favor, gasoline cars became popular. Now electric cars are on fire again. I think the reason electric cars are back is that people are realizing that gasoline cars are bad for the environment. On the contrary, electric cars are better for the environment and smarter than gasoline cars. So in this relatively high-tech era, electric cars are naturally popular again.

So why don't people buy electric cars when they are so much better than gasoline cars? It's because people now know that electric cars are more expensive than regular gasoline cars, and there aren't many places to charge them. But I think we can look at how much we are polluting the environment by driving a gasoline car, and how much money we are spending to fill up our gasoline cars. If you put the money you spent in recent years on gasoline cars, it must be very expensive. But if we buy an electric car, not only do we save money on gasoline, we also reduce the pollution to the environment.

Gogoro wants people to replace gasoline cars with electric cars, and Gogoro wants to do this by making electric motorcycles instead of regular gasoline motorcycles. This is because driving a motorcycle is relatively more harmful to the environment than an electric motorcycle.

If the gasoline car had not appeared 100 years ago, and the electric car had not fallen into disrepair but had been prevalent, our current environment would be better If we start developing electric cars now and don't let them fall out of fashion again, our environment might not be deteriorating so badly.

上週五，來自Gogoro的江先生來到了我們的班級進行了演講。他談到了關於電動車和很多關於Gogoro的事情，還有一些有趣的事情。今天的文章會有幾個要點：第一，電動車早在一百年前就有了；第二，電動車明明比汽油車好，為什麼人們不買電動車；第三，Gogoro就是想要人們用電動車來代替汽油車。

江先生來的時候有提到電動車其實早在100年前就有了。在那個時候電動車是非常流行的，但是在後來卻沒落了。電動車沒落了之後，汽油車開始盛行。如今電動車又再次流行了起來。我認為電動車現在又流行起來的原因是因為人們發現汽油車是不好的，對環境很不好。反觀電動車，電動車相較來講是對環境比較好的，而且也比汽油車智能。所以在現在這個比較高科技的時代，電動車自然就又流行了起來。

那麼電動車明明比汽油車好，為什麼人們不買電動車呢？是因為現在的人們都知道電動車比普通的汽油車還要貴，而且目前也沒有很多讓電動車可以充電的地方。但我認為我們可以看看自己開著汽油車對環境造成了多大的污染，還有自己為了給汽油車加油而花的那些錢。如果把近年來自己花在給汽油車加油的錢一定很貴吧。可是如果我們買電動車的話，不僅省掉了給汽油車加油的錢，還減少了對環境的污染。

Gogoro就是想要人們用電動車來代替汽油車，靠做電動摩托車來代替普通的汽油摩托車。因為開汽油摩托車相對來講會比電動摩托車還要對環境有更大的傷害。為了解決上述問題，Gogoro蓋了很多充電站，希望可以讓充電更方便，幫大家節省時間和金錢，願意改買電動車。

聽完這場分享，如果100年前汽油車沒有出現，電動車沒有沒落，而是一直盛行的話，我們現在的環境會好一點。如果我們現在開始發展電動車，不讓電動車再一次沒落，我們的環境或許不會再惡化的那麼嚴重了。
