Basic Differences Between Electric and Normal Cars

As the rising temperature of the earth has posed a threat to our environment, everyone is talking about going environment friendly by using eco-friendly products and adopting green technologies in their daily life. Going in the same line, the car makers around the world are developing cars that run on eco-friendly technologies such as electric and hybrid cars. In last few years, there has been a considerable rise in the customer quarries related to basic difference between the sales of electric cars and traditional petrol/diesel run cars. Here we have tried to differentiate the electric and normal fuel run cars on basic factors.
1)Emission: – As we all know, the electric cars carry a very low or negligible emission level and don’t emit Co2 in the environment unlike their petrol run counterparts. The excessive emission of Co2 ultimately contributes in increase the greenhouse effect.
2)Fuel Economy: – The electric cars offer much better fuel economy when compared to the same of their petrol/diesel counterparts. The reason is that the cost of electricity used in electric cars falls much cheaper as against the cost of fuel (petro/diesel) used in normal cars.
3)Maintenance: - The electric cars need comparatively less maintenance cost when compared to the same of their petrol run counterparts. The reason is that the normal car carry a much sophisticated engine system that requires a much more effort and money to be maintained, such as regular oil changes, changing of oil and air filters etc. On the other hand, the electric cars simply run on the power of a battery that is needed to be changed in a few years time.
4)Distance Covered: – Where the electric car can only be driven up to a distance of 150 to 180 kms in a single charge, the petrol run cars can be driven hundreds of kms on a full tank. Also filling stations for petrol/diesel run cars are much higher in density and can be found easily.
