Why The Automotive Future Is Electric
As the name suggests electric cars run on electricity that is stored in the batteries. Compared to its ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle counterparts, EVs are quieter and emit fewer pollutants. Here are its key features
Lower Running Costs
When compared to traditional combustion engine cars, electric vehicles (EVs) are more cost-efficient in the long run. With fewer components and no need for fuel, EVs have lower maintenance costs and electricity is generally more affordable than fuel.
Performance And Driving Dynamics
When it comes to power, acceleration and top speed, EVs perform better than petrol cars, offering a more responsive and exhilarating driving experience.
Acceleration: Electric vehicles deliver instant torque from a complete stop, unlike petrol cars, where there is a delay between pressing the accelerator and feeling the power.
Top Speed:
EVs can achieve high speeds quickly since power is delivered instantly. Petrol cars, on the other hand, may take longer to reach their top speed due to gear shifts.
Power:
Electric cars tend to have higher horsepower than traditional petrol vehicles. For instance, while a typical petrol car may have around 120 horsepower, a Tesla Model S boasts between 360-470 horsepower.
Advanced Technology
EVs are designed to integrate the latest technologies, making them superior in terms of safety, infotainment and connectivity.
Software Integration:
Thanks to their electrical architecture, EVs support seamless software updates, advanced infotainment systems and over-the-air downloads.
Energy Efficiency:EVs are more energy efficient than internal combustion engines (ICE), providing better energy consumption and often a longer range.
Regenerative Braking:EVs capture kinetic energy during braking, which recharges the battery and helps extend the vehicle’s range.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS):EVs are equipped with best-in-class ADAS, benefiting from their electrical systems for smoother integration.
Eco-Friendly Impact
Unlike traditional cars, EVs produce no exhaust emissions or greenhouse gases, making them a cleaner choice for the environment and improving air quality. Switching to an electric vehicle can significantly reduce the carbon footprint.
Convenient Home Charging
Lower Maintenance CostsWhat Are Electric Vehicles Types?
-
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
Similar to a Hybrid, but with a larger battery and electric motor. Has a fuel tank and a charging port. Can charge by using regular chargers.
PHEV Cars
-
Battery Electric Vehicle(BEV)
Powered solely by an electric battery, with no gas engine parts. Most BEVs are capable of fast charging and regular charging. Zero emissions.
Electric Cars
-
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)
Low-emission vehicles that use an electric motor to assist gas-powered engines. All energy comes from gasoline. Cannot charge with external chargers.

Good And Bad Things About EV
- Advantages
- Challenges
-
Low Carbon Emission
Electric vehicles (EVs) do not emit CO2 and other harmful gases, greatly contributing towards reducing the overall carbon footprint, making EVs a highly sustainable option compared to conventional ICE vehicles.
-
Lower Maintenance And More Cost-effective Ownership
The simplified mechanical structure of an electric or PHEV means that it will demand far less maintenance than that of a conventional ICE vehicle, resulting in lower long-term costs as relatively fewer parts require replacement over the long term.
-
Thrilling Performance
Electric motors have no lags as compared to the conventional ICE vehicles making the EV agile, with more torque and a better performance.
-
Silent Ride And Spacious Cabin
Since these vehicles make use of fewer mechanical parts, these EV's, along with hybrid automobiles make sure to offer a silent cabin and more interior space with comfortable space to be in during the ride and plenty of storage space for luggage or whatever else might be needed while travelling.
-
Developing Charging Infrastructure
The charging station infrastructure is still in the development stages and the network of EV charging stations is still less in number. This sometimes makes charging cumbersome, especially when travelling on long drives or along rural routes where charging points may be very few.
-
Shorter Driving Range
Electric cars are known to have a shorter driving range when compared to conventional ICE vehicles. This can sometimes be limiting while travelling long distances.
-
Long Charging Time
Recharging an EV takes so much longer to recharge than refuelling a conventional gasoline vehicle. Even with fast-charging stations, it takes at least 30 minutes of time to get the kind of distance that could be filled up in a conventional car in only a few minutes.
-
Battery Replacement Costs High
The battery replacement of an EV is expensive. Most electric vehicle batteries are designed to last the life of the car but, when the time comes to replace them, there is most likely a hefty bill.
How to Take Care of Your EV’s Battery
-
Avoid Exposure to High Temperatures
It is important to keep your EV out of extreme heat to preserve battery life. While the cooling system of the car will manage the temperature, it will consume power in the process, lowering battery efficiency.
-
Don’t Charge All the Way to 100%
To prolong your battery life, avoid charging it to full capacity. Most EVs come with a battery management system that prevents overcharging, but it is best to unplug before hitting 100%.
-
Avoid using Fast Chargers
The fast chargers are handy when you are running low on power, but frequent use can wear out your battery faster. Try to use normal charging methods whenever possible.
-
Maintain a Balanced Charge When Not in Use
If your EV will be sitting idle for a while, avoid leaving it fully charged or completely empty. Keeping the battery at a mid-range level with the help of a timer charger, can help prevent wear and tear.
-
Drive Smart to Save Battery
To maximise your EV’s battery life, try practising efficient driving habits, like using regenerative braking, smooth acceleration and ensuring the right tyre pressure.
