Recharging uses electricity from a power station, is that really “greener” than normal petrol bikes?
::Back to Top:: Firstly, the conversion of fuel into electricity at a power station is being done in a much more efficient way than a similar conversion of fuel into motion in a petrol engine. Secondly, many power stations use alternative fuels to fossil fuels to generate electricity, and more are continually being added that generate electricity from renewable resources like, wind, solar and bio fuels. Thirdly, the main concern at the moment are green house gases and the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere giving rise to global warming. These are mainly caused from the burning of fossil fuels as used in petrol engines, whereas even power stations that use fossil fuels have many sophisticated technologies to try to reduce their output of CO2 and produce less carbon dioxide proportionately. And lastly, as more and more of the worlds transport starts being electric or using other clean technology like being hydrogen powered, even more electricity will start being generated f
