Owning an Electric Car: Pros and Cons

When one is about to buy an electric car, considering the pros and the cons is vital. Electric cars have both, as any other thing, so let’s take a quick look at them.

What would some of the advantages be?

Cheaper operating costs

Lower per-mile fuel costs because electricity is cheaper than gas

Silence is Golden

Lower maintenance costs because there are fewer moving parts

Recharging Your Battery Pack at Home

Powertrain is under warranty for longer than most gas engines (at least eight years/80,000 miles

Zero Tailpipe Emissions

Can be more fun to drive than gas cars because electric power has continuous torque

What about the disadvantages?

Range

Costs more than equivalent gas cars, but federal and state tax credits, plus direct rebates, reduce cost

Charging

Typical range of only 75 to 100 miles

The high price

Long Recharging Time

Popularity has made availability of public charging stations a challenge in some areas

Added cost of in-home charge

Worth the price?

Now you make the decision!
