I am not saying electric vehicles are not beneficial to the present situation we are in. Yes they are surely better... maybe not entirely practical in most cases. Maybe one day the electric cars can just go into a 'gas station' or rather a battery station and simply swap out a fully charged battery for their drained out one... then maybe it seems more practical. Anyways i dont know when we can all be driving electric cars... but i do know that unless cost and practicalities prevail, otherwise petrol, diesel & CNG will still be here for a very long time to come.

There are many videos discussing energy efficiency. Electric cars are the most efficient of the bunch unless the battery gets way too heavy for the task at hand. Small passenger cars already are cheaper at life cycle bases compared ICE in most places. Vehicle integrated PV isn't the best option in most situations. When it can be used without adding much extra weight and it can be done inexpensively. It can reduce size and weight of the battery thereby reducing roiling resistance. Solar PV is in less than optimal position on a car therefore producing less power per given area - this can be mitigated by using higher efficiency multijunction cells. For a car to last longer it would be better to avoid unnecessary UV exposure, so in densely populated areas with underground parking it would be not much good. Slower, liter Solar PV & Battery assisted aero bikes could be a better bet for solar powered vehicle :) Also it is better to use most fitting vehicle for a task at hand, so it would make sense to share vehicles and rides. Health benefits of reduced air pollution alone would benefit enough to justify the cost to switch from ICE in densely populated areas.

It's ironic that more electric cars would mean more coal and oil being burnt but when transitioned to wind, solar and nuclear energy, the cost to own an electric car and charging it would reduce automatically

Cars are but just a small contributor of carbon emissions in the whole scheme of things. If we're really serious about cutting emissions, we need to look at the bigger contributors like airplanes, cargo ships/tankers, freighters, cargo trucks etc. And also more seriously consider other alternatives like hydrogen, biofuels etc. The environmental drawbacks of rechargeable batteries used in EVs, cost and carbon footprint of manufacture, as well as the cost of disposing them when they're dead is just too "expensive" for the environment in the whole scheme of things. And if the batteries catch fire, boy oh boy.....you're gonna be in deep deep trouble. It's a bigger explosion, the fire is more intense, and a lot more difficult to put out. It's argued that it's easier to just let the battery burn itself out than trying to put out the fire.

Victor Williams... yes. Modern technology requires a wide range of artificial materials. The issue you raise is the process of production and selection of which artificial materials are used. This story did not look at any aspect of these issues. Basically, the story was about type of fuel used within the transport sector. Logically, your statement could be ‘Snow White and Seven Dwarfs doesn’t address the extraction of other raw materials... so I call BS on this.’ It has the same relevance. That said, I actually agree that everybody is concentrating on the fuel and few delve into the trickier subject of materials selection and production. The good news is that the environmental impact of most materials is actually going down (with a few horrible exceptions). Simply put, fossil fuels are on the way out and everything derived from them is being replaced with alternatives that don’t use petrochemicals. Non oil based, biodegradable polymers is the fastest growing segment of the plastic industry. While comparatively small today, they will be the largest category in ten or twenty years. Recycling of other materials is also escalating dramatically. Large scale manufacturers are finding that recycled material is increasingly more readily available and cheaper. Particularly in the area of metals and plastics. If we’d started all of this in 1990, we’d be fine... but I’m afraid it’s all thirty years too late.

From a security point of view, fossil fuels will be here to stay until every last drop have been expanded and extracted since military air, land and sea vehicles use diesel and petrol, thus the petrol stations are here to stay to run the military vehicles in the event of war or defence. Electrical charging stations can be easily cut off or destroyed thus disabling e military vehicles. Secondly, diesel or petrol is liquid thus it is easily portable in jerry cans via another vehicle to refuel hidden military vehicles compared to electricity which is not as portable. Even though we have millions of public and secret weapons of mass destruction to launch at the same time to destroy entire Earth in ten minutes, but being able to easily disable e military vehicles takes the fun out of war games.

carbon emission issue required multi sector decision. but theoretically, what govt can do is : [Step 1] : Tax Policy - Housing : Energy performance certificates (EPCs) - Vehicles : CO2 Emission Tax - reformulated gasoline and diesel - reduce sales tax for home appliances w/high energy efficiency label [Step 2] : build energy infrastructure - green energy powerhouse : VAWT, solat, WTE Plant, biomass, wave, whirlpool, etc - clean energy economic zone : industrial zone with 100% powered by renewable energy production (green energy powerhouse) - power grid infrastructure : underground cable system [Step 3] : EV infrastructure and vehicle - build DC Charging Station (privatisation licence) - high road tax and insurance on gas and petrol vehicle to discourage market demand - SST exemption (50% CBU, 100% CKD) + easy re/financing plan (offered by Govt Bank, Koperasi or dealership)

High electric car fees can be lowered by tariff and COE reductions. But of course we should not let electric cars take over oil cars. SG is a oil refinery. Why kill the goose that lay the golden eggs?

One doesn't make an electric car or an ICE car and then immediately throws it away. The entire life cycle of the car has to be taken into consideration and this is where an electric car will still have a much lower carbon footprint than a comparable ICE vehicle throughout it's life.

I disagree on use of electric cars! SG can only depend on oil being an oil refinery and this contributes to SG revenue. I am happy that SG has few electric cars compared to the gas engine cars. We should just Wayang a bit about having electric cars so that foreigners think we very advanced. We must defend oil at all cost like we are an oil refinery SG inc

Before electric cars take over oil, we should tax as much on petrol and gas engines. This is out of love for our country! Tax electricity by 30 times. This should do the trick
