Topic: How does the electric cars changed in the recent years
Research question: what’s the impact and influence of electric vehicles in recent years?
How electric vehicles changed in recent years?
During these years, there are increase number of electric vehicles showing up in society. Batteries, engines, and other technologies are more technologically advanced and less expensive. Also, it developed the comfort level and outward appearance for the customers.
Research Contents:
Positive:
Electric cars can reduce environmental pollution.
Saving money for the customers.
Opposite:
Battery in the electric cars will damage people’s health and ocean.
The price of electric cars will go up in the future, meaning that it can’t save money.

Summary:
Automobile production and sales-driving the rapid growth of China’s environmental pollution is increasing day by day. In this case, China’s government promotes new energy vehicles, because this is the key technique to handle China’s energy and environment problems.
Annotation:
I choose this resource because:
Environmental Protection
Flexibility (Alterable battery)
Positive:
Benefits for the environment
Scholar source from the ScienceDirect website
Authors are professional professors in China’s colleges
James Ellsmoor (2019). Are electric vehicles really better for the environment?
Summary:
Europe has a better technology for electric vehicle's engine compared with Asian, which could reduce carbon dioxide emission by 66%. By analysing the tail gas emission, electric vehicles are much better than a regular car.
Annotation:
Provide data - logical
Chart (Display technology is advancing)
Positive:
Benefits for the environment
Mature technology

In this paper, the Norwegian electric cars association randomly selected a few users of electric vehicles. The user agrees that the electric car can save time and money. Let the customer is the first priority in Norway to have free toll roads and with zero purchase tax.
Annotation:
The author utilized ethos in the article.

Positive:
Saving money

Summary:
The authors conducted 40 reports to conclude that the disadvantages of the battery for electric vehicles. This is the main reason why people don’t want to buy electric vehicles, because they think the battery will destroy the environment.
Annotation:
I choose the source because it analyzes the disadvantages of having an electric vehicle.
The source is credible because it is a scholarly article from the ScienceDirect website.
All of the authors are all the professors from china's famous colleges.
Opposite:
Counterargument
Damage for the environment
Isaac Orr (2019). As $7,500 Federal subsidies expire, electric vehicles are about to get more expensive.
Summary:
During the short period, the Federal Government offers 7,500 tax credit when every electric vehicle sold. But, the government can’t offer that much money in the long term, because batteries need to be replaced regularly. In this case, the vehicle company will raise the money up to earn a profit. (Not save money)
Annotation:
Take Tesla's company to be a typical example of this situation. (Credible)
Also, the author cites the L.A times’ report about the electric vehicle’s price is two times much than regular cars.
Using the Federal data
The author is a policy advisor, writing lots of reports in the Center of the American Experiment website.
Opposite:
Counterargument
Not save money for a long-term period
Andrea Aurora Racz, Lonut Muntean. (2015) A look into electric / hybrid cars from an ecological perspective. 19(C). 438-443
Summary:
The article mainly talked about the along with the increase of electric vehicles, and the wasted the number of electric cars and batteries will also continue to increase. It’s leading to a greater impact into the environment.
Annotation:
This is a powerful article to argue that electric cars can decrease pollution in the air.
This article is scholarly.
Opposite:
Counterargument
Damage the environment
Conclusion
Although some people state that the electric car can reduce air pollution, but the batteries of electric vehicles will still damage the environment.
Also, although in some countries of the world, purchasing an electric car at a lower price, today. But, the price for the electric vehicles will raise in the future when the car company lost the support from the government.
