| Charging inlet instead of petrol |
An electric car in Singapore being charged by electric charging station at ITE College West. The car is a converted Renault.
The body artwork says 100% Electric and zero emission directly from the car motor. However, it will still have carbon footprint because in Singapore, electricity is produced by burning fuel which power the generators.
The concern for electric cars is the lifespan of batteries. It is still rather expensive at this point in time but technologies will probably make it cheaper in the future. With the current oil price at around US$45 per barrel, it may be difficult to push for the agenda of green technology. Secondly, the charging stations are also not commonly found in carparks around the island.
Nonetheless, it is a good effort to maintain a social responsible green initiative of reducing carbon footprint.
