The
"
Everything
Electric
"
show
in
Sydney
the
growing
shift
toward
electric
transportation
and
clean
home
energy
solutions
.
Experts
,
including
Professor
Renate
Egan
from
the
of
New
South
Wales
,
strongly
suggest
that
buying
a
new
petrol
car
is
no
a
logical
choice
.
Electric
vehicles
(
EVs
)
offer
significant
economic
advantages
,
such
as
lower
costs
,
better
fuel
economy
,
and
long
-
term
savings
as
petrol
prices
continue
to
rise
.
Beyond
economics
,
the
environmental
argument
is
compelling
;
switching
to
EVs
is
essential
to
reduce
reliance
on
fuels
.
Even
for
owners
without
home
solar
panels
,
charging
an
EV
still
utilizes
greener
energy
than
burning
petrol
,
making
it
a
cleaner
choice
for
the
planet
.
Robert
Llewellyn
,
the
show's
,
notes
that
while
it
is
becoming
harder
to
identify
EVs
by
look
alone
because
manufacturers
now
hide
exhaust
pipes
,
the
absence
of
these
pipes
and
the
lack
of
engine
noise
key
identifiers
.
As
the
automotive
industry
transitions
,
most
major
car
companies
are
now
offering
electric
to
survive
,
and
workers
in
traditional
automotive
fields
are
expected
to
transition
into
new
sustainable
sectors
,
such
as
solar
energy
installation
.
Battery
electric
vehicles
produce
zero
exhaust
emissions
,
a
clear
benefit
over
hybrids
,
petrol
,
or
diesel
engines
.
As
society
moves
toward
a
renewable
energy
future
,
the
increasing
presence
of
EVs
on
our
roads
a
cleaner
and
healthier
world
for
everyone
,
marking
a
permanent
change
in
we
travel
and
power
our
lives
.
