Major Reasons For Electric Vehicles by autoremedy365: 1:29pm On Nov 25, 2022
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a growing trend in the automotive industry. They're more efficient than traditional gas-powered cars, which mean they produce fewer greenhouse gases and other pollutants. But EVs aren't just good for the environment, they can also save you money on fuel costs. We'll discuss how electric cars work and some of their advantages over traditional vehicles:
1. Electric cars can save you a lot of money
The cost of owning an electric car can be significantly cheaper than a conventional car. The following are some reasons why:
• Electric vehicles tend to require less maintenance. There are fewer moving parts, so there's less that can go wrong and need fixing. In addition, since you don't have to worry about oil changes or changing the air filter every so often, you'll save yourself some money each year on those expenses alone.
• Electric cars also tend to cost less in general to run than ones powered by gasoline or diesel engines (which actually burn fuel). You won't have any gas stations to stop at along your way either, you simply plug your vehicle into an electrical outlet when it needs recharging! And while some people might think this limits their freedom as drivers, remember that not every trip has to be a long one (and if it is then maybe consider renting an RV instead). In fact, even if your commute only takes 20 minutes each day then chances are good that most of those miles will be covered on battery power alone anyway--making them essentially free rides!
2. Electricity is cheap
Electricity is cheaper than gasoline, diesel and hybrid fuel. And it's also cheaper than hydrogen fuel.
But how much? Let's take a look at some real-world numbers:
• In California in 2016, the average price of electricity was 12 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh). The average price of gasoline was 26 cents per gallon—that's more than three times as expensive!
• A Tesla Model S P100D uses around 100 kWh per 100 miles driven—meaning if you drive your car on electricity instead of gasoline (or diesel), you'll save almost $30 every time you fill up!
3. Electric cars are easier to maintain
While electric vehicles may require more specialized maintenance, they require significantly less overall maintenance than their gas-powered counterparts.
With an electric car, you don't need to worry about oil changes, transmission fluid changes, spark plugs or air filters (like in a diesel car). You also won't have to deal with timing belts or even mufflers; there's no need for radiators; you won't have to check coolant levels and serpentine belts; and fuel filters are unnecessary because EVs don't use gasoline!
4. Electric cars are quieter
[/b]When driving an electric car, you won't have to deal with the noise of a gas engine. This can be a great advantage in cities where cars are constantly honking their horns at one another and pedestrians are being yelled at by drivers who don't want to stop for them. In addition to making your commute more peaceful, this can help prevent congested roads in big cities by allowing people to drive faster without worrying about being heard over their loud engines.
