This group have 5 members with included me and we needed to do research for this debate. We was decided going do research with individually, after done we will decided and make decision after. Due to the lecturer, we needed showing our the information which we was found out and show it on the e-portfolio. From the below was the main point which we we done for the debate.

-Gasoline engine (petrol engine) is more powerful compare to electric vehicle.
-Petrol has higher energy density than any format energy which enable vehicle travel further.
-The gasoline engine is cheaper to run if compared with other fuel.
-Smaller and lighter and also it"s not complicated as other type of energy.
-Maintenance of petrol engine which is much cheaper to EV as it's not as complicated as EV engine.

-The spare part of the gasoline engine is easy to achieve.
-Much polluted compared to gasoline engine.
-The knowledge of about gasoline engine technician is limited.
-This type of engine warming up in a short time if compared to hybrid vehicle.
-Provided same power all the time.
-Affect other industry such as power generator motor.
-Delphi- a leading global supplier of electronic and technologies for automotive comes out an advance
technology that will lower cost (cheaper)
-From the research of American Thresher man, a gasoline engine is one-man power which concludes to power that one man alone can operate and do work for two or three men with other kinds of power.
-The impact of gasoline engine to other industry, such as marine industry, power station and also vacancy of jobs for the petroleum extraction will reduce if gasoline engine were kick out from this society.
- According to BBC News on 4th October, a report wrote through the research from Norwegian University of science and Technology has mentioned that, the pollution of the electric vehicles EVs or Hybrid vehicles HEVs is even higher than the gasoline engine. Basically a electric vehicles required a lot toxic materials such as the nickle, copper and aluminum.
-Electric vehicle produce an indirectly pollution to the environment and human. As we can know, as many the electric vehicle drive in future, as many power station or power source need to be build up.
-Excessive power station will produces others pollution to the environment such as the acid rain, airborne particulate matter, smog, and human toxicity.

Group discussion with my groupmate.

All the collected data and share among the groupmates.


We had the group discussion and went to debate quite prepared. It was a very fierce battle with the opposing team but in the end feel that debate increase our knowledge especially the advantage and the disadvantage on the related topic.
