Are You Aware Of The Benefits Of Using Electric Cars

By Nicole Dubrock


I'm sure you have seen the commercials on television for the new all electric automobiles. And just so you know we are not referring to the hybrids that run on both gas and electric, we are referring to electric vehicles which use 100% electricity to power them. Years ago these types of vehicles was something that you would see in a science fiction movie, but these vehicles are now being used today. While there are not plenty of auto manufacturers creating these vehicles yet, there are organizations that are manufacturing them. In the following paragraphs we're going to be taking a look at the positive aspects and also the drawbacks to the electric car.

With regards to one of the benefits of this kind of vehicle you must understand that the major benefit isn't needing to invest in fuel for this car ever again. And because of the cost of gas nowadays getting up to $4.00 per gallon this can also mean some enormous savings for you. Nearly all folks in the United States spend more than $60.00 every week on gas, and when you fall into this category you are going to realize that you can wind up saving $3000 each year by not needing to purchase gas. This is obviously not a small amount of cash, and also a savings which could definitely improve your lifestyle.

You are going to also wind up reducing the pollution created every single day to our planet by not burning standard fuels in your vehicle. Of course one of the greatest things about this apart from reducing pollution, is that you will no longer be supporting major oil companies. These big oil companies obviously don't care about our planet as they continue to find new oil all over the world, which of course leads to more pollution.

I am sure you have realize that anytime new technology enters the marketplace there will always be drawbacks. The only downside I can think of would be the fact that these electric cars have a limited driving distance of approximately 100 miles. Even though some individuals may see this as a disadvantage other folks who only use their vehicle for traveling to work do not see this as a downside. But you will find other folks who have an issue with this if they wish to take their vehicles on long trips. This of course also means that traveling across the nation in this vehicle would be incredibly difficult.

Getting an electric car may be one of the best options you have in relation to reducing pollution, saving cash on gas and helping our world. Huge money can be saved with this vehicle but you are going to find it costs considerably more than a standard vehicle would. Of course the $3000 savings every year would wind up meaning that you're saving $30,000 every 10 years. In short, the advantages of owning an electric automobile are much greater than any of the disadvantages you may find which comes with them.
