Advantages of Electric vehicles
Electric cars come prepacked with many great advantages which we will be talking about below:
Low maintenance
Due to the presence of fewer mechanical moving parts as compared to any petrol/diesel vehicles, the chances of wear and tear become very less resulting in very few maintenance charges. Also, the need for timely service is less for electric vehicles which results in an overall running cost being significantly low.
Low running costs
Commuting in an electric vehicle is very cheap compared to any combustion engine vehicle. The prime reason is the rate of electricity, which is much less than petrol or diesel. You can even charge your electric car at your own home, and this cost decreases more if you use renewable energy sources like solar panels.
Tax benefits
When you buy any electric vehicle the road tax and registration charges will be quite less than any other diesel or petrol engine. Also, the government encourages you to shift to electric cars by offering multiple incentives on each purchase.
Zero Tailpipe emissions
There is no tailpipe emission when you drive an electric vehicle. You can further reduce the damage to the environment by charging your EVs with renewable energy sources.
Easy to drive
Electric cars are gearless making them very convenient to drive, you simply need to accelerate, brake, and steer. Also when you are at home, plug in the charger, and while you rest your vehicle will charge.
No noise pollution
Electric vehicles don’t have an engine under the hood which makes them silent while driving. They are so silent that some manufacturers add fake sounds to make them safe for pedestrians.
Disadvantages of Electric Vehicles
There are many great advantages offered by EVs but still, there are a few downsides you should know before you consider buying one.
Availability of recharge stations
You will always have to check the availability of electric fuelling stations in the area you’re traveling to, especially, if you are planning a long trip or going to visit any urban or suburban area.
If you run out of charge and there is no charging station nearby, it might get problematic for you.
Expensive
Even though Government offers some tax relaxations on each electric vehicle purchase, we simply can’t ignore the fact that these vehicles are quite expensive.
The same car model with a petrol/diesel engine and an electric motor will have a good price difference. You can expect to pay almost 30% more money for the electric model making them quite an expensive choice.
Short driving range and speed
Electric vehicles come with a limited speed limit and also the driving range is still comparatively low compared to petrol/diesel models.
The initial acceleration is very quick as electric motors can produce a lot of torque in a very short period, but the high speeds are electronically limited to prevent overheating.
Longer recharge time
Electric cars charging time varies from model to model. While your gasoline-powered car can get full in a few seconds, batteries on the other hand take quite longer up to 4-6 hours to charge.
Conclusion
Through this blog, we tried learning about a few important advantages and disadvantages that electric vehicles have to offer. We also named some of the most popular electric cars across the globe and discussed their range and pricing.
