Electric vehicles have become an inevitable part of every walk of modern life. EVs: They Are Everywhere As we mentioned earlier EVs have a wide range of applications because EVs are much more flexible in case of design and configuration which gasoline vehicles cannot match. With Formula-E they are getting into the racing arena as well.

The decline of coal use in the European Union and United States is overshadowed by surging natural gas and oil use around the world, according to the researchers. About 40% of global carbon dioxide emissions were attributable to coal use, 34% from oil, 20% from natural gas, and the remaining 6% from cement production and other sources.
