It is heartening to see that people in Goa are buying more e-vehicles in present times. Also it is a positive aspect that electrical buses are in operation in Goa. It is estimated that there are about 15 lakh four wheelers in Goa along with about 12 lakh two wheelers and thus if only petrol vehicles are bought the air quality index of ambient atmosphere will result in more emission of greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide into the atmosphere thus significantly affecting the air quality in Goa.
Also it is a fact that the conversion ratio of electrical energy to mileage in an electrical car is 93% while a petrol car converts only 50% of energy into mileage, thus over the long run if an electrical vehicle costs twice the amount, still taking into consideration the economic factor as well as the amelioration of the air quality, it is definitely better to use an electrical vehicle as in about 8 years, you have recovered the cost of the vehicle as well as no pollution at all due to use of electrical cars. Thus Goans should buy more electrical vehicles as they are cheaper as well as better for the environment.
