The nuclear electric power generation.

Electric-Lawn-Mower: Start mowing from the spot closest to the electric outlet.
Mow your way away from the plug, this way the cord should not be in your way. - 200
Electric motors deliver more torque than gasoline engines at low speed. This makes Electric motors much better at acceleration. - 13792
Electric vehicles have:
- No oil or filters to change
- no exhaust system and muffler to rust out
- no gear box and clutch and fluids to service and replace
- no transmission to wear out
- no emissions control and catalytic converter to break
- no timing chains or belts to snap
- no valves or injectors to clog up
- no cooling system to leak or blow a gasket causing the engine to seize up
- no worn brake pads (regenerative braking makes the brakes last almost forever)
- no cylinder rings to wear out
- no pistons or crankshafts to punch through the engine block on a catastrophic failure.
