Electric cars have low range and can have problems with the battery, which is expensive to replace unless covered by warranty.
A regular car will have a much longer lifespan unless you are willing to replace batteries in your electric car.
One of the major benefits of hybrid electric cars is the longevity of the cars. Electric cars simply last longer than traditional cars. If you buy an electric car, you will notice that your engine lasts for years. You will be able to enjoy all of the benefits of your car for years to come. There is little to no maintenance required with a brand new hybrid car. It is a great investment.
the short answer is yes. However - that is so much as almost everything we do has an impact. The argument for electric cars is that they harm the environment less than traditional petrol, diesel and gas cars. The energy required by an electric car comes from the electricity grid. If the grid is using wind, solar etc then the car would be completely "clean". However all electricity grids still have some coal fired power stations. So the energy you consume to drive an electric car will still produce CO2 at the coal station. However: It is believed/assumed that the large coal station is much more efficient than the thousands of little petrol motors in cars. So will produce less pollution. An electric car is typically lighter weight so consumes less energy to get around. An electric car needs less maintenance - so consume less energy to be serviced. So while they still "harm the environment" they are/should be considerably less harmful. Ideally the less harm you could do to the environment: 1 - stay home - uses no energy 2 - cycle (energy only required to build/maintain the cycle and roads) 3 - public transport on electric buses, trains, trams. 4 - public transport on petrol based buses etc 4 - electric cars 5 - traditional cars 6 - unserviced traditional cars Not sure which order for 4? Would a bus with 50 passengers cause less pollution than 50 electric cars? Not sure
Hybrid cars are not the same as an electric car. Electric cars run on electric power exclusively, while hybrid cars use a combination of electric energy and another fuel to run.
One of the greatest reasons to invest in electric vehicles is for their reliability. An electric vehicle has a motor that is much more reliable than a conventional car. There is a misconception that electric cars will simply die out on the road. This is a completely unfounded misconception. The truth is that electric cars can run for up to 600 miles without requiring a battery recharge or any gasoline.
The first electric cars appeared in the 1880s.
Electric cars reduce the amount of fuel-dependent cars on the road. As more electric cars are produced, the US will need fewer barrels of gas.
The population of Liberty Electric Cars is 40.
Liberty Electric Cars was created in 2007.
Electric cars have a limited driving range.
Electric cars are electric, hybrids are gas, and electric.
