Auto Expo 2020 - Why Prefer An Electric Car Over The Conventional One?

To save money and the environment

That’s true. Electric cars are gradually making way to the list of prospective buyers. Although, the pace is very slow. The issues of global warming and depleting fossil resources forced the automotive companies to look for alternative energy resources and electric was quick to take the top spot. If it was 2010, it was a vague idea to do such an article. However, things have turned fast in India with more electric cars making to this part of the world. With inflation in full swing, the rising fuel costs are adding fuel to the fire.

If you are looking for a car, we suggest to scroll further and then decide whether an electric car would be more suitable for you. Here are some of the benefits of electric cars over the traditional ones.

Cost-effective to run & maintain

No two ways about it. Electric cars are highly cost-effective as you can get them charged at your home or charging stations at much lower costs compared to the regular fuel. The electric car cost could be 1/3rd of the gasoline-powered cars.  Since the EV lacks a traditional engine, the maintenance is remarkably low too. The only moving part in the battery-powered electric vehicle is the motor. So you don’t need to worry about radiators, fuel injection systems, spark plugs, oil changes or timing belts as in conventional cars. Your focus in electric is limited to only brakes, tyres and suspension, that’s it.

No emissions

Running only on electric-powered engines, the EVs are 100 per cent environment-friendly vehicles. They do not emit any toxic gases and help keep the atmosphere clean. They are even better than hybrid vehicles which employ both electric as well as gasoline to feed its drive. Electric cars run on clean energy source and release zero carbon emissions.

Silence in, and out

The car running on an electric motor is super silent; in fact, it is hard to recognise you have a car behind you unless the driver horns. Just imagine if more and more electric vehicles are on the road, the traffic noise pollution will go down considerably, isn’t it? Moreover, the cabin is super silent and free from most vibrations (which used to prevail due to the traditional engine). It acts as a stress buster.

Smooth drive

With a linear flow of power, the electric car drive feels more smooth and composed than its gasoline counterparts. It gives you quick acceleration even when you have just started or are struggling in bumper to bumper traffic. The responsive acceleration and deceleration added with a low centre of gravity of electric vehicles result in better handling and impressive ride comfort.

More cost savings with solar power

If you have solar power panel set up at your location, you can further save your running costs as there won’t be any need to source electricity from the grid. By using the renewable energy resource you would not only be saving a few bucks but also contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment.

Come February and you would be witnessing the 2020 New Delhi Auto Expo which promises to revolve around electric cars and technologies. It would be a grand event for EVs and would be displaying the highest number of electric vehicles showcased to date.
