5. Better Braking Experience
An electric vehicle drives better than gas car. The brake system in EV is much smoother than gas car. Reason: While slowing down the gas car, you need to use friction brakes which turn car’s momentum into heat and brake pad wear. Not only energy is wasted but wearing out your brakes also adds another expense. On the other hand, motor in electric vehicle acts as a generator which helps to slow down the car very smoothly as well as charge battery, save money on fuel and brake wear. By comparing driving of both gas car and EV, you can feel much better driving experience with electric vehicle. When you are driving down a sheer hill in gas car, you must require to either riding the brakes or downshift and hope to find a gear which will control the speed. But in electric vehicle, you can easily control the amount of regenerative breaking as well as control the speed of vehicle as per your need and charge the battery. Due to the lesser moving parts in EV, it will give 100% of torque from the get go.
6. Less Noise Pollution
With electric vehicle, you can experience quieter ride and contribute towards the control of noise pollution. During slow speed, you just hear little fan and pump noise as in case of modern gas burning sedan. EV produce much less noise during acceleration which makes the ride quite and less noise polluted for those who are inside or outside the car.
Just one ride in battery powered car is enough to understand the enhanced ride quality of electric vehicle as compared to gas car. After the ride, all other regular car will seem clunky and outdated.
7. Cost Effective
Electric vehicle has proven cheaper than fuel car. The fuel price is dramatically rising over the time while electric price is quite constant. During the hot summers, electric rates can be high at peak time i.e. on afternoons but you can charge electric vehicle overnight or at off-peak time when electric rates are comparatively low. The dependence on oil for all transportation needs makes our economy extremely fragile. The demand of oil is increasing with a rapid rate while the production from cheap sources of oil is limited. This gives a high rise in fuel prices. Thus comparatively to gas car, you can save lots of money with EVs.
8. Generate Own Electricity to Power your EV
With EVs, you can even save money on electricity by producing your own fuel i.e. you can generate electricity with solar panels to power your car. Installation of solar panel is quite expensive but with time will save huge money on electricity. Today many states provide various facilities and incentive programs that make the installation of solar panel economical.
