Yes, the awareness of global warming is becoming greater and greater these days - which is a good thing!
Electric cars
are part of the solution to global warming. And a big part at that, but we can’t stop there.
Another big component to lowering global warming is the use of greener sources of energy. A push away from coal-powered electricity to more renewable sources such as wind and solar or cleaner sources such as nuclear or hydrogen. This of course is at the government level as we don’t have direct access to changing the grid.
However, doing things like installing solar panels on our roofs can help contribute to greener energy as well as lower our electricity bill over time.
Whether you have an EV (electric vehicle) or gas-powered car, you’re going to want strong insurance to protect you and your ride. Super app,
