Why The Automotive Future Is Electric
As the name suggests electric cars run on electricity that is stored in the batteries. Compared to its ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle counterparts, EVs are quieter and emit fewer pollutants. Here are its key features
Lower Running Cost
High fuel prices and an extensive list of components makes a combustion engine model more expensive to run compared to an EV which is easier to maintain and electricity is cheaper.
Performance And Driving Experience
Acceleration, power and top speed in Electric vehicles (EVs) are superior to any petrol cars which suffices a fast responsive driving experience
Acceleration
EVs deliver instant torque from a standstill. While there can be a lag between pressing the accelerator and receiving power in petrol vehicles.
Top speed
The power is delivered instantly, EVs can hit high speeds almost immediately. Gear changes mean petrol cars can also take longer to hit top speed.
Power
EVs have greater horsepower than petrol cars. A typical vehicle has about 120 horsepower and a Tesla Model S is rated between 360-470 horsepower for comparison.
Technology
All EVs are better suited to offer more advanced technology than existing combustion engine models. This applies to features around safety, infotainment, comfort and a connected experience.
Software Integration:
EVs can easily integrate with modern software and connectivity features due to their electrical architecture. This allows for seamless updates, over-the-air software downloads and advanced infotainment systems.
Energy Efficiency:EVs are more energy-efficient than ICE vehicles, leading to better fuel economy (or rather, energy consumption) and potentially longer range.
Regenerative Braking:EVs can capture kinetic energy during braking, charging the battery and extending range.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS):EVs can often integrate ADAS features more seamlessly due to their electrical architecture.
Eco-Friendly
By choosing an Electric car, an owner significantly reduces their carbon footprint, unlike ICE cars, EVs produce no exhaust fumes or greenhouse gases, contributing to improved air quality and a cleaner environment.
Convenient Charging At Home
Low Maintenance CostWhat Are Electric Vehicles Types?
-
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
Similar to a Hybrid, but with a larger battery and electric motor. Has a fuel tank and a charging port. Can charge by using regular chargers.
PHEV Cars
-
Battery Electric Vehicle(BEV)
Powered solely by an electric battery, with no gas engine parts. Most BEVs are capable of fast charging and regular charging. Zero emissions.
Electric Cars
-
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)
Low-emission vehicles that use an electric motor to assist gas-powered engines. All energy comes from gasoline. Cannot charge with external chargers.

Good And Bad Things About EV
- Advantages
- Challenges
-
Eco-Friendly Drive, Low Carbon Footprint
Electric vehicles (EVs) do not emit any CO2 and other harmful gases, offering cleaner and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional ICE vehicles.
-
Low Maintenance Cost, Low Stress
EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) have fewer components, they require much less maintenance, and not many components require replacement even when used over a substantial period of time.
-
Thrilling Performance
Electric motors have a faster response than the conventional ICE engines. EVs can accelerate quickly, giving you a comfortable and very powerful ride.
-
Quiet And Spacious
EVs and hybrid vehicles have fewer parts compared to conventional ICE vehicles, offering more legroom, clever storage and a quiet drive.
-
Limited Charging Stations
While charging station infrastructure is still in its developing stages, it may be difficult to find chargers outside of the home. PHEVs have excellent flexibility, but EV become more difficult to find a charging point while on long drives or rural trips.
-
Low Mileage
The ICE cars have a better driving distance than EVs. The electric cars might be troublesome over extended trips.
-
Charging Takes Longer
Unlike an ICE, an EV requires time to recharge, taking much more time than filling an ICE vehicle. Even super-fast stations can only fasten the process to 30 minutes as against a speedy 5 minutes at the gas pump.
-
Expensive Replacement Battery
Although the EV battery might last longer than that of an ICE vehicle, if replaced, it may still be expensive. Since most cars are of lifetime replacement, this will likely not impact too many owners.
How To Maintain Your EV’s Battery
-
Avoid Exposure To High Temperatures
In order to keep the temperature under control for optimal efficiency, the automated temperature control system installed in the EV will work and drain the batteries.
-
Do Not Charge The Batteries 100%
It is never a good idea to fully charge the batteries as it affects the overall lifespan of the unit. Most EVs these days come fitted with a battery management system that helps avoid extreme state of charge.
-
Avoid Using Fast Chargers
While fast charging offers great convenience when the battery is about to die, doing it frequently will strain the battery and wane them faster than usual.
-
Maintain Optimal Battery State During Long Idle States
Experts do not recommend leaving the EV idle for long with a fully charged or empty battery charge, as it will cause degradation. Here a timed charger will come in handy.
-
Battery-efficient Driving
EVs battery life can be enhanced by driving in a battery-efficient way which includes regenerative braking, controlled acceleration, and right tyre pressure.
