Project 2 Draft

Have you ever imagined about buying an electric vehicle makes you feel helping the
world greener but facing problems with charging it? There are a lot of people in Canada who
owns electric vehicles having problems with charging it because the charging stations are
significantly lesser than the vehicles. “Not again. All the electric vehicle charging stations were
taken, and I knew I was in for at least a 30- to 40-minute wait. And yet, the app on my phone
showed two chargers had been available five minutes ago.” Hara stated her experience that she
was happy about making a decision to buy an electric vehicle in the first year, but in the second
year, life is not smooth as expected. Hara’s narrative is relevant and underscores the importance
of addressing this issue to support the widespread adoption of EVs, which aligns with current
efforts by governments, businesses, and communities to develop robust charging networks.
In “I love my electric car but I didn't realize my life would revolve around charging it” article,
Hara shares her journey of embracing electric vehicle (EV) ownership and the challenges she
faced in accessing charging infrastructure. Despite initial excitement and the hope of installing
EV chargers in her condo, the proposal was rejected due to concerns about cost and equity. The
author reflects on missed opportunities to share her story and advocate for sustainable
transportation at a crucial meeting. However, she remains passionate about EVs and expresses a
desire for easier access to charging stations. She highlights the importance of individual actions,
engagement with local communities, and continued support for promoting EV adoption and a
greener future.
The author effectively conveys her personal journey and experiences with EV ownership in a
relatable and authentic manner. Through her storytelling, Hara successfully portrays the
frustrations and challenges faced by many EV owners in accessing charging infrastructure. The
article's personal perspective allows readers to empathize with the author's passion for
sustainability and understand the significance of addressing the infrastructure gaps hindering
the widespread adoption of EVs. By sharing her story, the author brings attention to the
importance of accessible charging infrastructure and encourages readers to consider the
environmental impact of their transportation choices.
While the personal narrative in this article effectively conveys the frustrations and
challenges of accessing EV charging infrastructure, it lacks a comprehensive exploration of
alternative perspectives. The article primarily focuses on the author's experiences and desires,
which limits the overall depth of the discussion. It would have been valuable to include
interviews or viewpoints from individuals who hold contrasting opinions, such as those
concerned about the cost or feasibility of installing electric vehicle chargers in condominiums.
By incorporating diverse perspectives, the article could have provided a more balanced and
nuanced understanding of the issue.
 The article effectively conveys the author's passion for EV ownership and their commitment
to sustainability, but it could benefit from a stronger emphasis on the broader societal benefits
of transitioning to electric vehicles. While personal anecdotes and experiences are valuable, the
article missed an opportunity to present a more robust case for the environmental advantages
and positive impacts of widespread EV adoption. By incorporating data and research on reduced
greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution mitigation, and energy independence, the article could
have made a more compelling argument for the importance of supporting EV infrastructure.
Providing a more evidence-based perspective would have strengthened the article's impact and
relevance to a wider audience concerned about climate change and the urgent need for
sustainable transportation solutions.
Hara’s Article is important because narrative contributes to raising public awareness about
the challenges faced by EV owners and the need for supportive infrastructure. Does this
narrative relevant with other EV owners who are hardly charging their cars? Hara’s article shows
that we can collectively pave the way for a greener and more sustainable tomorrow by
addressing the hurdles faced by EV owners and promoting widespread access to charging
infrastructure.
