Why Drive an Electric Car?

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are on a trend these days, and why is that? Well, one of the reasons for this is that electricity is cheaper than gasoline (Petrol). It costs about just half of what gasoline (Petrol) costs. Electric vehicles are known for their simplicity, which means that only a few parts need to be replaced or repaired, and the maintenance costs for these vehicles are way lesser when compared to petrol and diesel vehicles.

It is known that most electric cars have regenerative braking, where the electric motor does much of the breaking process. A regenerative braking system can save the brake pads and rotors in electric vehicles and reduce maintenance costs.

Apart from the costs, one more reason to drive an electric car is that it is pleasant to drive because it has a lower center of gravity that offers better handling, comfort and responsiveness. It’s not just that they have very good acceleration and horsepower for electric vehicles. Electric car motors don't have a transmission and deliver the power directly to the wheels, and because of this, the acceleration is much faster on Electric vehicles. These vehicles also do not have gears, making driving easier, and no complicated controls exist. All you have to do is keep the car charging once you are back home. Since they are quiet compared to other vehicles, they also reduce noise pollution.

Regarding the tax and the financial benefits of having electric vehicles, the road tax and the registration on electric vehicles are comparatively less expensive when compared to petrol and diesel vehicles. The government has also offered many policies and incentives (depending on the city/state).

Electric vehicles are much more reliable when compared to petrol and diesel cars because they do not emit harmful emissions that contribute to climatic change and smog. But by switching to an electric vehicle, you can say that you are doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint.

When it comes to Electric vehicles, one of the biggest worries is being able to recharge, and because of this, many don’t go for Electric cars. But today, even though that issue is getting resolved, the charging stations and facilities are growing increasingly every day.

Electric cars are most reliable because they are eco-friendly and pocket friendly compared to petrol and diesel cars. Electric cars are way more easier to handle and the legalities are comparatively less expensive. Today, the problem of having limited charging stations is also being resolved.
