Thinking of buying an electric car? There couldn’t have been a better time than now. For quite some time, there’s been an ever-increasing awareness on the benefits of owning electric vehicles, and rightly so. They’re low-maintenance, environment-friendly and much more. Let’s look at the top 5 reasons why now is the right time to buy an electric car.
1. Extremely low running cost: Electric cars lead to huge savings, thanks to their ridiculously low running cost that work out to less than a rupee per kilometre. Compare this to the running cost of a petrol or diesel car and you will see how stark the difference is.
2. Super easy to charge: No more heading to petrol or diesel filling stations and queueing up, waiting for your turn. Just charge it at your home or workplace and you’re sorted.
3. Zero emissions and low carbon footprint: With an electric vehicle, you drive a car and still do your bit for the environment. That’s because they have zero emissions and a very low carbon footprint. So by buying an electric car, you contribute to a greener future.
4. Low-maintenance: An electric car has barely any moving parts as compared to a petrol or diesel car. Besides, there is no engine. This means lesser visits to service stations and lesser hassles of maintenance cost.
5. Very convenient to drive: Given that there’s no clutch and you don’t have to change gears constantly, it’s very easy to drive electric cars. Such cars have direct drive transmission. This means while you enjoy the comfort and ease of driving an automatic car, you don’t compromise on the mileage.
