如何用英文準確介紹電動汽車

想要用英文準確介紹電動汽車，可以從以下幾個方面入手。

首先，介紹電動汽車的定義，比如‘An electric vehicle is a car that runs on electricity.’

接著，說說電動汽車的類型，像‘There are several types of electric vehicles. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) have a petrol engine and a battery but are never plugged in. Plug-in Hybrids have a petrol engine and an electric motor and need to be plugged in. Full Electric vehicles have only an electric motor and a battery and are plugged in.’

然后，講講工作原理，‘They work by using electricity instead of petrol. The energy comes from a power outlet via a cord to the car and is stored in a battery. This energy powers the electric motor to move the car.’

還要提到再生制動，‘Regenerative Braking captures the energy from braking, which is normally lost as heat, and uses it to ‘top up’ the battery.’

再比較電動汽車和普通汽車，‘Electric vehicles get energy from electricity while normal cars use fossil fuels. Energy in EVs is stored in rechargeable batteries and in normal cars in petrol tanks. The engine type of EVs is an electric motor and of normal cars is an internal combustion engine. Energy is put in through a power outlet and charging cord for EVs and a petrol cap for normal cars. EVs have no tail-pipe emissions but normal cars do.’

描述電動汽車的外觀和聲音，‘An EV looks like a normal car but sounds silent when running as it has fewer moving parts.’

強調其對環境的好處，‘EVs are better for the environment as they produce 27 per cent less CO2 than petrol cars and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They produce no carbon emissions when powered using renewable energy.’

說說優點，‘The benefits of electric vehicles include being cheaper to run as electricity is cheaper than petrol, being better for the environment, reducing noise pollution and having less environmental impacts across their life-cycle.’

當然，也要提提缺點，‘Some disadvantages of EVs are that they are currently more expensive than normal cars, there aren’t many places to charge them, they can only travel 100-160km between charges and charging can take hours. The silent operation can also be potentially dangerous for pedestrians.’
