10 Reasons to Own an Electric Car

 1: ELECTRIC CARS ARE COOL

 

 2: ELECTRIC CARS ARE QUICK!

 

Most electric cars are extremely quick! EV 0-60 times are very impressive, and if it were not for the massive weight of the batteries they’d blow away even the best 12-cylinder supercars. The Tesla Roadster is crazy-quick with a 0-60 time of just 3.7 seconds.

3. ELECTRIC CARS POLLUTE LESS

 

•Critics who are totally ignorant on the subject claim that electric cars pollute just as much because the electricity has to come from somewhere, and it’s usually from coal-fired power plants. Even if 100% of our electricity came from coal power plants it would still result in far less pollution compared with everyone having their own gas powered engine in their cars. The truth is that it is far more efficient to generate large-scale power from a single power station than from 500,000 individual internal combustion engines. Additionally, much of our electricity comes from hydro, wind and solar sources which are clean. According to a range of studies doing a ‘well to wheels’ analysis, an electric car leads to significantly less carbon dioxide pollution from electricity than the CO2 pollution from the oil of a conventional car with an internal combustion engine. You can also use solar powered electric car charging to porivde 100% clean energy

Most people charge their EVs at home overnight. Charging EVs in public is also getting increasingly convenient. Many workplaces and businesses have installed a public EV charger along highways and at stores and offices, some businesses and agencies are installing fast- charging stations that can re-charge a car to 80% of battery capacity in less than 30 minutes. Considering you park your car at home or in the office, a constant supply of electricity should be available
