It is understandable that people are still skeptical on buying an electric car. They are not yet seen everywhere else, meaning only a few are driving electric cars. Besides that, they see no reason to shift to electric cars right away despite of the government’s aggressive promotions of EV for their minimal impact on the environment.

More importantly, electric cars are way more expensive than traditional and hybrid cars until now. But when the time comes that EVs will be massed produced, and more people will be buying them, prices will surely go down. That may be the time when more people will be shifting to electric cars.

While EVs are more expensive, tax incentives and rebates from the government can lower the cost. You will also be spared on gas expense and maintenance. And above all, you are decreasing your carbon footprint. With all these advantages of an EV, will you now buy your first electric car?

Accordingly, batteries that have a mileage of 300 miles may need to be recharged after 10 days if you do not use it for long distance travel.

Unlike petrol oil stations which are everywhere, EV battery charging stations may not be found in small towns and not-so-busy roads. It will truly be a problem if your battery is emptied where there are no near charging stations.
