With the fact that the conventional car industry has been revolutionizing, people around the globe are keenly captivated in buying electric vehicles despite cheaper petrol and diesel sucking engine vehicles. Electric cars will take over conventional vehicles throughout the world. Here is why you should look no further in adopting the trend!
Less to No Maintenance
Since electric motors have few moving parts (20) as compared to their inefficient counterparts (up to 2000). ICEs also have air/fuel filters, engine oil, coolant, spark plugs, exhaust system, starter motor, fuel injector, radiator, and oxygen sensor. EVs do not have any such parts and it's much simpler. Batteries of an EV do not degrade that easily and have a high mileage warranty with most dealers. More research is underway to scale back production costs for long-lasting batteries.
Lower Fuel Cost
EV drivers have the advantage of significantly lower operational costs. Their electricity to charge per km works out to be one third cheaper than petrol/diesel. You can calculate your savings from an web calculator such as BeFrugal's.
Higher Efficiency
Electric Vehicles are around ninety percent (90%) efficient and a few even more as compared to ICEs which have a maximum thermal efficiency of about (50%).
Extra Space
Electric Vehicles have no engine under the hood and the batteries are mostly built into the lower body which gives it an additional trunk in the hood enough for small bags or so.
Instant Acceleration
Electric motors in an EV provide instant torque at any revolution per minute (rpm) which is why they are much quicker than their comparatives which have a specific rpm range for optimum torque.
Improved Safety
Due to the heavy battery packs placed at the underside of an EV, it's body roll is much lesser than standard vehicles due to the lower center of gravity. The absence of an engine in the hood of an electric vehicle gives it extra space during a front collision making the passengers safe and fewer vulnerable to fire in an event of an accident.
Eco-friendly
EVs have zero exhaust emissions. They have even reduced the carbon footprint of conventional vehicles.
Renewable Energy
While you plan to drive your car daily, you may charge your vehicle with your solar panels or any other green power source in your vicinity and not like your old inefficient vehicle.
Budget-friendly
According to Kelley's Blue Book, the five-year cost of ownership which is also the true cost to own (TCO) a Tesla Model 3 SR+ (EV) is much lesser than an economy car for the masses that is the Toyota Corolla XSE (ICE) even though the Corolla has a lower price tag.
Zero Noise Pollution
The electric motors of an EV are boasted to be much quieter which brings peace of mind as compared to any of the ICEs.
Tax
Many states also offer a tax credit to eligible EV buyers to lower the up-front costs of plug-in electric vehicles which are a part of a financial incentive program.
Cash Rebate
Some states even offer a cash rebate to encourage buyers to purchase an EV. California offers a state rebate of $2,500 while Connecticut customers are eligible for a $2,000 rebate for new Model 3 RWD vehicles. Similarly, Colorado customers are eligible for a rebate of $5,000.
Those were the explanations for you to contemplate EVs on your vehicle purchase. Do leave a comment below if you have any questions.
