WALT:describe how advancements in technology occur to meet need or to solve a problem.

1) What problems does the use of the electric car solve?
It solves having to use oil and create global warming and air pollution. It also solves us spending a lot of money just to buy petrol. It could decrease

2) Who will benefit from the electric car?
Pedestrians will benefit from the electric cars because it protects them from hazards. It will also benefit citizens or California because of their strong polluted air that have been caused by oil runned cars.

3) What problems are caused by the electric car?
They require 3 hours to charge the batteries but it can only travel only about a 100 miles on an average, and on a single charge. Also the accessories use up electric power from the batteries, which is the heart of electric auto mobiles, the batteries will drain easily.

4) Write a one page review of-"Who killed the Electric Car?"
General motors invented the electric car to help California citizens from air pollution but the government and some customers disagreed because it was to expensive and they dint know much about it. later, people had to take away the EV1 and have them crushed then they left them where people wont know. customers started to put up notices and boards to persuade the government from continuing to destroy the EV1. Makers enjoy making the EV1s because it's easy to do and because of the mess. Customers not only think that it helps global warming it also is fast and very quite. You could charge during bthe night and then take the plug out when you need to drive somewhere.Later GM created the hummer which got more responses from customers. I think they shouldnt destroy the electric cars because we could help global warming from getting worse. I also think that we should destroy the electric cars because the batteries is expensive and the accessories inside the EV1 uses the batteries, the batteries will drain quite fast.
