Electric Cars
Although we tend to think of electric cars as being something completely modern, they were in fact
some of the earliest types of motorized vehicle. At the beginning of the twentieth-century electric cars
were actually more popular than cars with an internal combustion engine as they were more comfortable
to ride in. However, as cars fueled by petrol increased in importance. Electric cars declined. The
situation became such that electric vehicles were only used for certain specific purposes
–
as fork-lift
trucks, ambulances and urban delivery vehicles, for example.
Although electricity declined in use in road vehicles, it steadily grew in importance as a means of
powering trains. Switzerland, for example, was quick to develop an electrified train system, encouraged
in this no doubt by the fact that it had no coal or oil resources of its own.
Nowadays there is renewed interest in Electricity as a means of powering road vehicles. Why is this
case? Well, undoubtedly economic reasons are of considerable importance. The cost of oil has risen so
sharply that there is a strong financial imperative to look for an alternative. However, there are also
environmental motivations. Emissions from cars re-blamed in large part for
–
among other things
–
the
destruction of the ozone layer and the resultant rise in temperatures in the Polar Regions. A desire not
to let things get any worse is also encouraging research into designing effective electric transport.

Whereas the fundamental essence of
a renewed interest in modern electric cars
emphasizes the significance of
petrol-driven vehicles
, the corresponding impacts of
an
internal combustion engine
such as
powering trains
and
oil resources
are acknowledged,
and
economic reasons
could be inferred evidently from
a strong financial imperative
,
which the potential implications of
environmental considerations
as well as
a strong
financial imperative
are presumed. (63 words)
Sample answer 2:
Electric vehicles have been around since the beginning of the twentieth century, but petrol-
driven cars became more important so electric power was only used for specific purposes,
such as a means of powering trains; nowadays there is a renewed interest in electric vehicles
due to economic and environmental considerations, as people do not wish to let things get
any worse. (61 words)
