Driving on gray coal power is not very clean, is it? Correct, but at the bottom line less bad for the environment than burning a gallon of gasoline or diesel in an inefficient internal combustion engine. A fuel engine converts only 35 percent of a full fuel tank into kinetic energy. The rest is converted into heat or lost through friction (even more heat) from the gearbox. This leaves only 30 percent to spin your wheels. Just don&#8217;t think about this when gasoline prices are high again.<\/p>\n<h2>Fine Dust<\/h2>\n<p>Electric cars also create direct emissions. Then we talk about tire wear (microplastics released) and particulate matter from brake discs. EVs often slow down on their motors, putting less strain on the brake discs. The German Aerospace Center thought that was no excuse for doing nothing about it. The institute worked with German manufacturer HWA to build a car with vacuum cleaners around the wheel arches. These suck up all the particulates from tires and brakes while driving.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ZEDU-1-2-1140x732.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-146765\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2>ZEDU-1<\/h2>\n<p>The car, with the catchy name Zero Emission Drive Unit Generation 1, features a bin, in which all dust is collected.
