“ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE”

The world is thriving to use technological advancement everywhere and electric vehicles must be the
future of transportation.

A very warm morning to respected chair person, members of the jury, teachers and all my fellow
contestants. Today I, Roopanshi Khare stand before you to speak strongly for the motion on the topic
‘Electric Vehicles are the wave of the future’.

We all are living in a technologically advanced era and as the saying goes technological advancement
always helps to improve human life; the EVs are not only beneficial for the humans but the environment
as well.

# To all my opposers, do you even know how many parts are required to make a conventional car?
Of course not,
that’s why you are standing against and contradicting today’s topic.
So let me acquaint you all that a gasoline powered car required more than 20,000 parts whereas only 20
moving parts are required in an Electric Vehicle.
According to research, EVs are way safer than conventional vehicle in the terms of car fires. From an
efficiency perspective also, EVs can convert around 60% of the electrical energy from the grid to power
the wheels, but petrol and diesel cars can only convert almost 17% - 21% of the energy stored in the fuel
to the wheels. That is a waste of around 80% of energy!!

With the growing population of the world, Electric cars are the next mode of transport to suit the
increasing demands of the people.

#You all may ask, when EVs are more expensive than regular cars than why should we switch to them?
My dear audience, only the upfront cost of the EVs is higher. The effective cost over the lifetime for a
EVs is way less when compared to normal vehicles.

As said by our Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi –

“The world in now in the middle of a new mobility revolution”
Because Electric vehicles are both cheaper in long term and ecologically beneficial, the government is
offering different types of financial incentives to make Electric vehicles more affordable for everyone.
The Delhi government as also started the ‘Switch Delhi’ campaign to promote the adoption of electric
cars. This endeavor has been adopted to reduce the air pollution caused by vehicles.

Fully electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions, and even when electricity production is taken into
account, conventional vehicles emit almost 3 times more carbon than the average grid emission level.

Thus, EVs are the future. In the light of the current environmental situations, it is high time we switch to
EVs.
