Misconceptions about electric cars

Many people still think that electric cars are expensive, hard to find charging stations, run out of power quickly, and even have batteries that wear out quickly… In reality, that is not the case.

Electric cars will run out of battery quickly?

Some electric cars can travel 200 miles or more before needing to be recharged. Thanks to technological advances, that range is only getting wider.

Meanwhile, hybrid cars with electric and gasoline (or diesel) engines can move comfortably like conventional cars. Electric engines are often used when moving in the city, while fuel-burning engines are used for long distances.

In fact, up to 90% of journeys are only 20 to 25 km, so electric motors are more than enough to meet this travel need.

Expensive?

In fact, the price of electric cars is trending down and the difference with traditional cars is not large. Some governments even subsidize people to buy hybrid cars and trucks with 6,000-12,000 USD, some cities even provide free parking.

In London, for example, tram drivers do not have to pay rush hour traffic charges. On average, a tram costs 3 pence per mile (1.6 km).

Charging an electric car is a nightmare?

Many people think that electric car drivers always have to worry about finding charging stations on the street every time they move.

In fact, 90% of electric charging stations in the UK are located at home and even when on the move, drivers can easily find charging stations on the road.

There are over 15,000 electric vehicle charging stations in the UK, and the number is growing rapidly. An electric car can be charged to 80% in just 30 minutes.

Boring driving experience?

In fact, electric cars are increasingly being perfected to a high level, helping to bring a driving experience and comfort that is not inferior to traditional cars.

Electric cars are the inevitable trend. Manufacturers are racing to make electric cars better, faster and with more technological features.

Will the battery quickly wear out like a smartphone?

The reality is quite different. Electric car batteries last longer than the car itself. The battery capacity barely degrades over hundreds of thousands of miles.
