- - - - Electric vehicles may not need for its driver to have as much formation with the increase of automatic vehicle actions.
        
        The effort needed for driving won't be as big in electric vehicles than the one for fossil fuel driven vehicles. E.g. - night driving won't be as tiring
        
        Even so, the automatic motions that are already implemented in the electric vehicles may choose to take actions in crucial moments which can collide with the drivers preference and even harm them.
- - - - PROS
        
        If the EV is powered with renewable sources, there will be a significant reduction of the carbon emissions.
        
        The EV infrastructures get fundings from the government to, in this way, encourage people to use electric cars.
        
        EVs are more energy efficient than gasoline-powered vehicles, potentially leading to energy savings
        
        Growth in the EV sector can create jobs in manufacturing, maintenance, charging infrastructure installation, and battery recycling.
        
        The need for charging infrastructure can lead to updated road systems, smart grid technology, and improved urban planning.
    - - Replacing the traditional gas stations for the electric ones will suppose huge economic costs
      - The transition from traditional stations to electric will make people change their vehicles so the family economy will make important spends
      - Hard to find in rural areas
      - Nowadays the automacy of the energy suppliers isn’t stable, so it can lead to a full recharge of the vehicles battery or the drop of the energy supplier battery
      - Widespread EV adoption can strain existing grid systems, especially during peak hours.
      - If the grid is still heavily fossil-fuel-based, EVs’ environmental benefits are diminished.
    - - Electric vehicles could be a great option in the future, but nowadays we don't have the resources (energy and economy) to carry on with this project, which don't guarantee us a reliable use and fair distribution. When the renewable energies have consolidarated themselves as the main important source of energy, we could make the step to change it
        
        Personal conclusions:
        
        Fatima Atari Daouad: My opinion
        After reading all that my classmates wrote, I came to the conclusion that electric cars have multiple benefits; however, there are still many challenges that persist, and that, in my opinion, need to be solved before making the move to the electric car industry.
        Some of the benefits I've read are, for instance, the better public health (lowering risks of respiratory disease or stress), the reduction of reliance on fossil fuels, the reduction of the noise pollution, the cost-saving opportunities for school systems (with electric buses)...
        And about the downside, two of the challenges that I consider more important to highlight are the battery production, which is an ethical concern related to labor exploitation, and also the limited access to EVs because of the costs.
        I personally think that if the previous issues are addressed, the electric car industry can lead us to a healthier and more environmentally friendly future.
        
        Martí
        
        After reading my collegues arguments on electric vehicles, my opinion on electric cars goes the same way as the opinion I gave about electric vehicles.
        I know that in a future electric cars will be the best common way of transportation as they help to mantain the air clean and don't use ptroleum or oil to have energy/combustible. Thanks to this we will have a more green atmosphere as less pollution will be dumped in the air.
        However, nowadays we don't have the resources to make this change, we reply to much in un-renewable and contaminant energy resources, so make this change will imply huge investments and not all governments will be able to make it so there will be more economic inequality between the population of differents countries. Even in the same coutry the inequality will be more present, as the electric cars are new and don't have so much supply of energy its cost of revharge its battery will be higher than to full your car engine battery with oil.
        To conclude, electric cars are clearly our future, no one doubts it, but before making the change we have to remake our mindset and see all the changes that have to done before replacing the traditional cars

        Electric school bus fuel and maintenance expenses are an average of $100,000 lower over the lifetime of the bus than for diesel-burning school buses. So they give districts an opportunity to save money and reinvest in classrooms.
      - NEGATIVE EFFECTS
        
        It may not be accessible for everyone.
        
        Possible complications when adapting to the fact that more electric vehicles are used.
        
        Electric buses are way more expensive than normal fuel buses.
      - When we speak about education, we are placing our arguments in the use of EVs near educational institutions and transportation of the student between their place and school or college. We focus in the impacts that fuel vehicles in contrast to elecric ones.
      - CONCLUSION
        
        Electrical vehicles may make education easier but may also result in negative effects. They porvide several benefits mostly when speaking about health issues, wealth and distrubance but at the same time this sector hasn't reached yet equality, which will be improivng, we believe, in the following years.
      - PERSONAL REFLECTION CHAHRAZAD
        My personal reflection regarding electric vehicles is that they may be benefitial in a lot of aspects on a personal level, for instance, in Barcelona the blue parking zones are free for cars that do not make CO2 emissions. Also the autonomy of the electricity percentatge of an electric car is around 500 kilometres which is a lot, even though you must charge for around an hour it still is benefitial. Everyday more and more people choose this type of cars as it is more convenient for them. I think it is a great option if there was (in the future) enough knowledge. As it is a new thing we of course are in our comfort zone but I reckon that this will change progressively.
- - - - Vitor
        
        Vitor's conclusion: After taking into account all the points spoke at class, I arrived at the conclusion that nowadays, when it comes to the production, it has negative effects since it uses a lot of energy, emits high CO₂, and relies on mining materials. But it also has positives effects when you use it since it produces no tailpipe emissions, reduce air pollution, and can run on renewable electricity, making them much cleaner than gasoline or diesel. However, I believe that In the future, with better technology and clean energy, they will be much more sustainable and beneficial.
- - - - Difference = the way that energy is converted into movement. Gasoline engines lose most of their energy in heat and friction
        
        Even all, the electricity needed for the creation of the engine and motor, of electric vehicles, leave a strong carbon footprint.
- - - - Conclusion: reuse materials of already produced cars and implementing an electric system to reduce emissions in the production process and while it works
- - - - ALBA GARCIA CONCLUSION:
        
        I believe that electric vehicles can be a great project for the future, not just as an alternative mode of transportation, but as a symbol of the urgent transformation of our society. They have the potential to reduce emissions and improve urban air quality, improving the health of inhabitants, and at the same time is a crucial tool in the fight against climate change and the protection of our planet.
        
        However it also means important costs: Battery production depends on rare minerals, often extracted under ethically questionable conditions, and the rising electricity demand may put strain on power grids that are not yet ready. There’s also a risk of deepening global inequalities, as wealthier regions move forward while the poorer are left behind.
        
        Also electronic vehicles have to improve a lot before creating a completely electric transportation system. Some topics such as security or safety are already untrusted by most of the society, taking into example some accidents that have occurred with this system integration.
        
        I truthly believe that electronic vehicles are a good option for the future. But before revolutionizing our current system there is a lot to do, and topics to adjust. Even more, I think that legislation should be renewed with its implementation, as some crimes for example will become the fault of robots, and not humans.
