▶ Your Answer :
Although electric cars have been released many years ago, we can still see a lot of conventional gasoline vehicles on the road. Therefore, some people might insist that electric cars will not replace conventional automobiles soon. However, I presonally disagree with the statement, because charging electricity is getting easier, and electric cars are better to environment. To begin with, more infrastructures for electric cars are being deployed. This is because technology to generate electricity is getting better. Although electric cars need a special charging station, and it requires a lot of energy, there are a lot of examples to show the improvements. For example, Tesla has announced an innovative charging facility which leverages solar energy and can be installed at normal houses. By using this, drivers who are using a electric car can charge easily,and they don't have to find charging stations far from their home. Next, electric cars are more eco-friendly. There are a lot of signs indicating global warming. For example, there are news that average seal level is rising contiuously over years, and irregular weather conditions has been spotted over the world. However, electric cars are known to impact less on these phenomena. According to a study by Ministry of Environment in Korea, researchers says that electric vehicles consume less power compared to gasoline vehicles. While electirc cars did not consume any energy when stopped, gasoline vehicles kept running, since its generator needs to produce energy for the engine. As a result, overall energy consumption was higher in gasolie vehicle. To sum up, advancements on technology and environment-friendliness make electric cars more appealing. In conclusion, I think it is electric cars replacing conventional vehicles in near future.

Intermediate 교재 독립형 아웃라인 Day 5 입니다.
추가로 라이팅을 독학으로 하고 있어서 궁금한게 있습니다. 설문조사 결과나 연구결과를 서술할 때, 그 내용과 실시기관, 그리고 연구결과의 구체적인 수치들이 꼭 사실이 아니어도 되나요? (예를 들어, -터무니없는 경우 제외하고- 수치를 대략적으로 제시한다던가, 실시기관이 조금 다르다던가하는 경우입니다.)
미리 감사합니다.
