In the world of automobiles, the electric car or electric vehicles (EV) is a relatively recent term. An electric vehicle, such as the Mercedes EQC, Jaguar I-Pace, Tata Nexon EV, MG ZS EV, or Hyundai Kona Electric is a perfect way to save money while still contributing to a safe and prosperous climate.
Many reasons can compel you to buy an electric car. Lower fuel costs, environmental stewardship, and energy independence are valid reasons to go electric with your next vehicle. Here are the top 10 benefits of electric cars when compared to conventional engine cars.
1. Reducing your fuel cost
Trips to the petrol station to fill up your car are costly, especially today, as petrol and diesel prices are skyrocketing. You will avoid paying for fuel and being at the mercy of petrol prices by opting for an electric car. Electricity is not only less costly than oil, but it also has a very stable price point.
2. Making you environment-friendly
We have had a long history of harming the environment, and moving to an electric car is one way to help the planet avoid more damage. Traditional cars spew carbon dioxide and a host of other pollutants into the air. When you drive an all-electric vehicle, no pollutants are directly released into the atmosphere. Electric vehicles can run on electricity generated from renewable sources, including wind, hydro-power, and solar, while petrol or diesel are non-renewable resources. Electric cars are also environmentally friendly than traditional vehicles because the battery inside your electric vehicle can be recycled. You will help protect our natural world by reducing your carbon emissions and air pollution effects by selecting an electric car.
3. Becoming energy independent
By installing renewable electricity generation, such as a solar panel on your rooftop to power your car, electric vehicles allow you to become energy independent. You will become energy independent and generate free electricity from the sun to power your vehicle instead of buying petrol or diesel at the pump by combining a solar PV system with an electric car.
4. Convenience
The electric vehicle is simple to charge at home, and the best part is that you won't have to stop at a petrol station to do so before hitting the road in the worst-case situation, an electric car can be charged using a standard household outlet.
5. Cost-Effective
Many new electric car owners can have excellent benefits for going electric, such as subsidies from the government. To give a massive push towards greener options, the Government of India has announced a subsidy to support 15.62 lakh EVs.
6. High performance
Electric vehicles have far better acceleration compared to normal cars with internal combustion engines, as motors provide instant full torque to the tires. They also need less gears, thus improving driving comfort and ride quality.
7. Minimal noise pollution
Electric vehicles reduce noise pollution because they are comparatively quieter. Over longer distances, electric motors can provide a smooth and comfortable drive.
8. Low maintenance
Electric vehicles use electrically-driven motors, eliminating the need for motor oil, lubrication and filter changes of engine and transmission components. Thus electric cars don’t need to be brought to the service center for servicing every 10,000 km like conventional cars, but instead need servicing only every 50,000 km. Other costly engine work is also no longer necessary. As a result, the cost and convenience of maintaining electric vehicles is much lower. You won't have to take it to the service center or mechanic as much as you would with a regular vehicle.
