What is the author's tone?
Electric cars use batteries instead of gasoline, so they do not produce exhaust from a tailpipe. Many drivers like them because they cost less to fuel and need fewer repairs. However, electric cars have drawbacks. A full charge can take much longer than filling a gas tank, and charging stations are not yet common in every area. Some drivers also worry about how far a car can travel before it needs to be charged. Manufacturers say that new batteries will soon be cheaper and will last longer.
