What’s the best fuel for your car?
What’s the best fuel for your car?
Dig into which fuel— gasoline, electric, biofuels, or electrofuels— is both affordable for consumers and sustainable for the planet.
—
Historically, most cars have run on gasoline, but that doesn’t have to be the case in the future: other liquid fuels and electricity can also power cars. So what are the differences between these options? And which one’s best? Dig into which fuel— gasoline, electric, biofuels, or electrofuels— is both affordable for consumers and sustainable for the planet.

Can we use cycle as possible for transportation!

I get that electric cars are better for the environment than gasoline fueled cars, but this video conveniently ignores that most electricity comes from fossil fuels.
Why was the fuel cell left out?!
This channel likes flogs.🐸
Actually gasoline is known as the energy for almost cars. This kind of energy consists of crude oil and hydrocarbon. It has dozen of drawbacks: exhorbitant price, fatal diseases, greenhouse gas, extreme weather,… Electricty is more expensive than gasoline. Gas power without fossil fuel is easy for shipping. However, green energy is not affordable. That’s the reason why it is called "Green Premium". Consequently, the government is assisting people by sponsoring the price
Gasoline is efficient? On about 30% of the energy is converted to kinetic energy. That’s not efficient at all
buzi
But isn’t the production of the electric car’s battery a polluting thing by itself?
Video: Gasoline is the best
🔥
The best fuel is petrol. The sound of a high performance engine and feel of it is intoxicating. Nothing beats that feeling of joy it gives.
petrol as i want a flat six porsche
Funny thing is that electric cars are the most polluting ones with the mining for the batteries and the wasted batteries
Valeu 🇧🇷
electromagnets are best right?
Alternative is to go on foot or bicycle (no fuel needed), or use public transport
We can use cycle s with human fule👍
What about cars powered by a hydrogen fuel cell?
This short is rather propaganda instead of information. When had EV become cheaper the IC? In addition to that the energy density and mining plus Indutrial processes have their owl (and large) carbon print. The short claims that fossil fuel are subsidized ( I pay 100% taxes on my pump), and 2 seconds after explains about subsidies for EV. Final comment, should 10% of the potential car buyers decide to go electric, it will take more than 5 years to fulfill their demand.
Carbon neutral violates the law of perpetual motion… that energy escapes and energy can’t be created by itself to run forever.
Moonshine is the best fuel.
Lmao Tesla cyber truck in the thumbnail
Use bikes: they are cheaps and don´t use any kind of gas
The electric vehicle is the best choice right now, but we can make hydrogen-powered in the future
This video simply skipped over the enviromental damage caused by mining the materials to make the batteries. Also "forgot" to mentiont hat our electric grid cannot even come close to supplying power to charge even a small number of EVs. Ant then the people that want an EV in every garage are largely the same ones that do not want to build new power plants. An example is the current governor of California.
Electric cars are actually more efficient than gas powered cars. For instance, a lot of the energy from gas is lost to heat in the engine while electric cars don’t have this issue
well my fuel for myself is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcBChuoFkMU
This is the sixth of a seven part series, so stay tuned for more! If you want to get a head start on learning more about this exciting and urgent topic, check out Bill Gates’ new book "How To Avoid A Climate Disaster." In it, Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical, and accessible plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Check it out: http://bit.ly/PlanForZero
$500 billion?! WOW! does anybody know why the amount of the damage is that much?
So let me get this straight you have. 1. Regular gasoline (aka petrol). 2. Diesel. 3. Biofuel (need more info). 4. Electric. 5. Hydrogen if im missing anymore please feel free to reply to this comment.
Praising going green is fine and everything, but besides costs, there might be more drawbacks than we anticipated when it was first tested. So who knows what could, everything is very unpredictable, similar to the stock market 📈
Can anybody explain me about algae fuel.
"And i’ve been putting out fire with gasoline"
Me: wait that’s illegal
It runs on water mannnnn
Let’s just hope that fossil fuel can’t run out, and try to make another things to become fossil fuel
Hindi me Hota to Dekha Ne Ko Bahut majje Ata 😶😶😶😶

The mining of metals the crest such huge batteries and the environmental problems they created are not mentioned here. Why not TED?
I heard that Electricity cars pollute the world, even more than other fuels
I heard that Russian scientists developed a nuclear battery which lasts for 100 years. That battery can be used for electric cars.
The best fuel for your car is a train.

What would make a good alternative to diesel?
Dreams. Imagination. Hope. Friendship.
I love how they just bypassed the manufacturing green house costs of car batteries for the elctric cars…lol.
Someday, if i become a teacher or lecturer, i want my students watch TED-Ed videos
zzzzzzzz #yeahboi #mondayblues
Climate change isn’t real please be neutral about your opinions or not express them you’re a science channel give accurate information
Gas cars and electric cars
