Conclusion
The idea of the electric car is not new, but the idea started to come true in recent years when Tesla started the production of electric cars. Tesla is the first company who successfully proves that it is possible to use the fully electric car for daily use. The problem nowadays electric cars face is the range of the battery, charging time, and unavailability of charging stations. Tesla has been working on those issues for the past few years and they continuously improve. Nowadays, Tesla cars get a range of 250 to 350 miles depending on models and they are also improving charging time and building new supercharging stations all over the US. The biggest advantage of electric cars is they are environmentally friendly because electric cars have zero emissions. According to the AAA survey, AAA, 80% of the consumers of electric cars buy an electric car because the electric car is environment friendly. Nowadays, people don’t buy electricity because they are environmentally friendly also because of the performance. Even though luxurious car brands like Mercedes, Porsche, and many more companies are now producing electric cars. Government incentives also help to develop the electric vehicle market. markets. The electric car makers are not only making electric cars they are also trying to set up a driverless driving system. Tesla’s autopilot program allows their cars to drive without any driver but they are not fully successful yet but the driverless riding is not that far. Also, a ride-sharing company like Uber is investing in it. Electric cars are cost-efficient, they need much less maintenance than gasoline cars. Usually, electric cars have only batteries and an electric motor, but the gasoline cars have so much stuff underneath the hood, that stuff like the engine, transmission, and other stuff needs regular maintenance. That needs a lot of money to maintain those gasoline cars but electric cars usually don’t need that kind of maintenance. Another biggest advantage of the electric car is people can charge their car at home, they need not go to any charging station and wait there hours to full charge. I think that there is no alternative to electric cars. Still, the price of the electric car is higher than the gasoline car, I think more government incentives are needed to keep the price of electric cars in the price range of everyone. There is also a need to raise awareness among electric car consumers because people still believe that electric cars are not as safe as gasoline cars.
