Electric vehicles are taking the world by storm! With recent projections showing that all vehicle sales should account for approximately 29.5% of all new car sales by 2030 there’s no denying the demand for EV’s.
With certain countries like Norway increasing the market share of EV sales from 1% of the market share in 2010 to 54% of the market share in 2020 it’s time to take notice.
With all this demand there have to be reasons as to why people are buying up EV’s in swarms? Find out below our top five benefits for switching your gas guzzler over to the future of transportation.
BENEFITS OF EV’S
1. Save your money
There are many savings advantages to driving an electric vehicle, which make for great reasoning to switch to electric driving.
Not only can you save money by driving electric based on the rising fuel costs we are experiencing globally, but also on maintenance costs. The electric vehicle drivetrain is a much more reliable and easier to maintain system compared to a regular gasoline engine.
On average it costs roughly half the price of powering a standard gasoline car for driving the same distance.
2. Hassle-free maintenance
Electric vehicles have much fewer moving parts needed to power them compared to traditional gasoline vehicles, it means that there are far fewer things that could go wrong.
The electric drivetrain does not need gearboxes, clutches, pistons and masses of oil that is needed with gasoline vehicles. Because of this, the electric motor needs perhaps half a dozen moving parts instead of hundreds of parts, meaning less potential for things to go wrong and much fewer parts to maintain and replace.
3. Helping the environment
Since electric vehicles have no toxic tailpipe emissions (because they have none) they are the clear choice of transportation.
Along with emitting no harmful gasses and chemicals they also can be fully charged via renewable energy such as solar if your home has a solar set-up. This allows for true emission free, renewable driving to be accomplished.
4. Silent motoring
We are sure that at some point in their lives everyone has gotten into a vehicle after not enough sleep, turned the engine on, and thought all hell was breaking loose due to a cracked exhaust or a trusty old diesel engine warming up for the day.
With electric vehicles, this is a thing of the past. At low speeds (under 15 miles per hour) sound levels from electric cars are much lower since the whisper-quiet EV technology emits less noise than what is occurring from the roads or from air friction.
5. Convenience
Never worry again about when and where you are going to get gas. When you get home from your day at work or day out simply charge your vehicle in the comfort and safety of your own home.
EV batteries and technology are developing at a rapid rate so you are able to travel further on a single charge.
There is also a global adoption of electric charging stations currently being installed for the future electric vehicle infrastructure, so for those family road trips, you won’t have to worry about not being able to plug in and charge up.
We could go on and on about the benefits of electric vehicles over the old gasoline technology however we feel the best way to understand is to experience it yourself.
