Question

Which of the following is a reason that drivers prefer gasoline-powered engines to electric motors?

a.) The cost of fuel for a gasoline-powered car is lower than that of an electric car
b.) Gasoline-powered cars are more fuel efficient for short trips
c.) The environmental impact of gasoline-powered cars compared to electric motors is small.
d.) Gasoline-powered cars are better for fast acceleration and traveling at high speeds.

Answer 1

The correct option is Gasoline-powered cars are better for fast acceleration and traveling at high speeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that electric power is the product of voltage and current and in an electric car the voltage is likely 24 volts and 1 ampere. So its power is comparative less. Similarly if something goes wrong with battery everything goes down. On the other hand a gas engine has a peak output related for its rpm, torque, and resulting horsepower. It is more powerful as compared to electric engine so that is the reason that gasoline-powered cars are better for fast acceleration and traveling at high speeds.
