41、these is driving an electric car. Electric cars produce about 80percent less pollution than cars with gas-power motors. In fact, the only reason that electric cars produce any pollution at all is that their electric energy is produced by power plantselectric cars themselves produce no waste. When en
42、ergy comes from large sources such as power plants, its easier to control, so theres less waste than if the energy is produced by many smaller sources, such as the gas engines in individual cars. Furthermore, electric cars are simply more efficient than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, e
43、lectric cars have regenerative braking, which means that when you use the brakes in an electric car, the battery has a chance to recharge（再充电） .

In addition to the environmental benefits of driving electric cars, there are also finan
45、cial and time-saving 8 benefits for the drivers. For one, they cost less to maintain（维修） . The cost of charging an electric car is about 20percent of the cost of gas, and electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered cars.

46、oling system, fan belts, radiators, hoses, or oil just a battery. There are fewer moving parts overall, so there are fewer possible problems. Also, after the body of an electric car gives out, the engine can be reused in another body. Electric cars can also save people time. While gas-powered cars r
47、equire visits to a mechanic every few months, the only routine maintenance required by electric cars is replacing the battery every four years.
