Pound for
pound, electric vehicles would leave internal combustion engine cars
in their dust. There are many pluses why one should start saving to
purchase an electric car in the near future. Here are some of the
positive benefits that electric car provides.
Fuel Efficiency
Electric vehicles do not produce pollutants that are
introduced into the environment. Also, the fuel it uses is
efficiently utilized unlike in internal combustion engines, most of
the power from the fuel is lost as heat. The current statistics
indicate that an electric vehicle uses half of the fossil fuel
resources an internal combustion engine per mile. Their electric
motors run at 600% more efficiency compared to a normal internal
combustion engine car. Fueling the electric vehicle is one-tenth the
cost of fuel for internal combustion engines per mile. EVs also are
not tied down to gasoline, as it can source electrical power even
from renewable sources.
Cost Efficiency
Because of the fuel efficiency, the cost of powering an
electric vehicle is a fraction of what it costs to fill up a gas
tank. Other costs include maintenance costs, parts costs and repair
costs. An internal combustion engine requires high maintenance costs
because of the many parts needed to operate it. Parts also become
expensive and one needs an expert mechanic to properly repair an
internal combustion engine. This does not hold true for an electric
vehicle as there are few moving parts used. The concept is quite the
same as any household appliance and instead of repair, replacement is
the better option without skipping a beat in its efficiency.
Pollution Efficiency
As previously stated, the electric vehicle does not
produce any pollutants. Internal combustion engines on the other hand
produce as a byproduct of power production pollutive gases such as
carbon monoxide. Furthermore, the production of fuel for the
individual unit produces less pollution for the electric car compared
to the internal combustion engine car. Another source of pollution is
the creation of the vehicle. Because of the green perspective in the
creation of the electric car, the methods of producing parts and the
body of the vehicle has a much lower pollution result compared to the
steel and ironworks needed in the creation of an internal combustion
engine car. As a final result, the electric car’s parts can be
recycled unlike most of the parts in an internal combustion engine
car.
As can be
seen, there are many benefits and advantages an electric car has over
an internal combustion engine vehicle. The electric car is more fuel
efficient, cost efficient and pollution efficient. This benefits not
only the individual owner but also the environment as a whole.
