Nowadays the world is stepping forward on solutions to global warming and everyone is looking for options on reducing carbon emission. As we all know we are having limited sources of fuel which will not be lasting long for us in the future as it gets limited our economy will also be affected by it, so we have to find and invent new alternatives for fuel-based transport systems.
There are numerous benefits of Buying an Electric Car as they are the best for clean and pollution-free result options, Day by day technologies, and invest making progress to make it affordable and effective too. Electric cars or simply e-cars are becoming one of the moods of interest, innovations, and researches over a decade working to improve it. The advantages of electric vehicles are environment friendly and they light out a day by emitting lower carbon.
We have mentioned a few advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles:
Advantages of electric vehicles
- Electric cars are far cheaper when compared to traditional fuel-powered cars in the long run even when the cost of a supercharge is almost similar to that of the average cost of gasoline in various countries.
- For instance, if 20 AED is needed to fill up 45 litres of a traditional car, the same amount can recharge a Tesla Model S battery completely. You will be able to cover roughly 400 kilometres (considering an average of 12 kilometres per litre) on a traditional vehicle when compared to the same range on an electric car with a 100 kWh battery. The catch here is that electric car owners step out of their homes typically on a full battery and the cost of recharge at home is going to be significantly less when compared to a supercharger. This makes a difference as fuel needs to be purchased outside at a fixed price. Also, EV owners need to rely on superchargers only on long commutes and this too contributes to lesser money spent.
- Electric cars are cheaper to maintain. The service cost is less as the structure of an electric motor is far simpler when compared to a traditional fuel engine which needs radiators, exhausts, fuel injection systems and so on.
- Electric cars are a lot cleaner when compared to traditional fuel cars and this, in turn, results in lesser pollution. Also better air quality will result in improved health benefits to us.
Disadvantages of electric vehicles
- Electric cars are expensive to purchase when compared to a fuel-powered vehicle. This is because of a variety of factors like high battery costs, research, and development cost which is typically high as the technology is newer when compared to traditional fuel-powered cars.
- Electric cars require a good charging network for them to be considered while opting for longer drives. It also takes quite a while to charge an electric car during a long drive whereas fueling up a traditional car is done within minutes. This in turn causes a bit of delay during traveling.
- The recent announcement of the Porsche Taycan brought to light that the company prefers not to use the Tesla Supercharging network as it is not sustainable and is planning on adopting a different route for the charging infrastructure. If companies producing electric cars opt to do this, then this will make refueling an electric car proprietary to the company’s charging station. You don’t want to hunt for charging stations on a long drive.
- You may need to install a charging station at home to save money on recharging at supercharger points which cuts into cost savings estimated while purchasing an electric car.
