CO2, a gas that is part of the atmosphere, is important for many elements of nature like plants, as it helps them make their own food. We produce CO2 when we use petrol cars. This is now dangerous for our world because these cars have sent a lot of CO2 into the air.
Using electric cars instead of petrol cars is an excellent way to stop problems like changes in the weather. In the United Kingdom not many cars are electric; so the government, those in charge of the country, believes there is a lot to do to make electric cars a good option and have a better world to live in, but it will take at least five years to do so. The government also believes that it will help the UK become the first country in the world to make cars that produce much less CO2. However, during the last three years, some pro-nature groups that work to make the world better have said that this plan will not work and that it is too late to stop petrol cars from producing CO2.
In the past two years, the British government has spent billions of pounds studying how to make electric cars and produce their parts, and how to make the British use them. Now it is ready to help companies make more electric cars and fewer petrol ones, along with fewer hybrid cars that work with both petrol and electricity.
