The Future is Here

Electric cars are future of the world and not only INDIA. These are the cars which are getting support from almost every countries government on the slogan of " Say No to Pollution" or " No More Pollution" or "Save World For Future Generation" etc. These cars are better for a person in many ways but at the same time have certain drawbacks. Talking only about INDIA currently these cars are more expensive than diesel and petrol cars because of which electric cars are mostly being preferred by the people who are either driving a CNG vehicle ( i.e they have a nice running of car on daily basis) or people trying these cars because they already have petrol and diesel cars and want to try something new or who want to buy a new car in exchange with old one and invest in something new ( this helps in the price reduction of the car as old one is being exchanged).

• These cars are expensive than normal cars.
• The cost of replacement of batteries is a lot which have to be changed roughly after 5 years.
• Charging stations must not be available all the time likewise petrol pumps.

• There is no noise in the car which sometimes may be riskier when overtaking.
• These cars cannot be repaired by a local mechanic as these run totally on software which are only present with the companies.
• The cost of cars are expensive and when calculated it is not reliable for people who are not a daily driver.
