Thats a good question! Electric cars are more environmentally friendly while gas cars are responsible for more than 50% of pollution in the air. But mountains of battery for are electric cars very hard to make and the materials for them are very rare. Electric cars have a shorter range than gas-powered cars. Recharging the battery takes time. They are usually more expensive than gas-powered cars. In almost every way that counts, an electric car costs significantly less to run and maintain than a gas-powered car. There is no gas to buy, no oil changes, no smog tests, and fewer moving parts to break or wear out. So in my opinion it depends on how much money you have.
