Taking A Look At Electric Cars And Some Of Their Benefits

By Elvia Millhiser


Whenever you turn on the TV right now you will find commercials for electric cars. And just so you understand we are not referring to the hybrids that run on both gas and electric, we're referring to electric cars that use 100% electricity to power them. I remember a long time ago watching The Twilight Zone and seeing an episode which had an electric car and thinking how great this would be if it was reality, and now it is. While there aren't loads of auto manufacturers creating these vehicles yet, there are companies which are manufacturing them. Here we hope to explain to you a couple of the benefits and also disadvantages of having an electric car.

The point that you will have the ability to drive right by filling stations without ever having to pull in to fill up is among the major benefits of having electric car. By not spending a small fortune each week on gas, this is actually cash that you'll wind up saving. The majority of individuals in the United States invest more than $60.00 every week on gas, and when you fall into this category you are going to realize that you can end up saving $3000 each year by not needing to purchase gas. This is obviously not a little amount of cash, and a savings which could definitely improve your lifestyle.

Along with the benefit of you saving all this cash you are going to also realize that you are not contributing to the pollution of our world. Needless to say one of the best things relating to this apart from reducing pollution, is that you will no longer be supporting major oil businesses. These big oil organizations obviously do not care about our world as they continue to find new oil around the globe, which obviously leads to more pollution.

I am certain you've recognize that anytime new technology enters the marketplace there will always be disadvantages. You are going to discover that when your car is fully charged you'll only have the ability to travel around 100 to 120 miles. For most folks this will not be an issue as this is much greater than their daily travel time back and forth to work. Nevertheless you'll find other people who have a problem with this if they wish to take their vehicles on long trips. This obviously also means that traveling throughout the country in this vehicle would be extremely difficult.

Getting an electric car might be one of the best options you have when it comes to reducing pollution, saving cash on gas and helping our world. Obviously the cost of these vehicles are much more expensive than you would end up paying for standard gas powered vehicle, but the money you save makes it worth your while. Obviously the $3000 savings every year would end up meaning that you're saving $30,000 every 10 years. In other words, the benefits of owning an electric vehicle are much greater than any of the disadvantages you will probably find that comes with them.
