Optimal Operating Cost

The cost of running electric vehicles is lower than those of petrol or diesel vehicles. Electricity prices are much more stable than petrol or diesel, and charging your electric car will cost you less than filling the fuel of a petrol/diesel car.

Lower Maintenance Cost

Cars running on petrol or diesel have higher maintenance costs as they have more moving parts. But, such is not the case with electric cars, as they are battery-operated and run on electricity they have fewer moving parts. The moving parts of petrol/diesel cars require regular maintenance to run smoothly.

Environmental Benefits

Electric cars benefit the environment in the long run as they are operated on batteries. There is no chance of carbon emissions that cause air pollution. Moreover, electric vehicles do not make any noise that is usually heard while driving petrol/diesel cars, which means less noise pollution.

Government Inducements

As mentioned, electric vehicles are environment-friendly and fuel-efficient; thus, the government promotes their sale and encourages people to buy electric vehicles. People who buy electric vehicles can get electricity at subsidised rates, exemption on sales tax and registration fees.

Moreover, there are tax benefits of electric cars under Section 80 EEB, in which, buyers can claim tax deductions on loans taken to buy electric vehicles specifically.

Perfect Performance

The early stage electric cars were slow and mediocre performing, but with the advancement of technology, powerful batteries, better motors and controllers were developed, improving the overall performance of electric vehicles.

Charge-at-Home

Electric cars provide the convenience of charging the vehicle at home before using it. It is better than petrol or diesel cars, where you need to find fuel stations to fill up your vehicle.

More Storage Space

As mentioned earlier, electric cars have fewer moving parts, making more cabin and storage space. You can easily find good seating space and store more luggage for your long journeys.

Better Safety Features

Indian roads are always congested with traffic, and incidents like road accidents or collisions happen every day. The right choice is to drive a vehicle that has enough safety measures; electric cars have such features.

These include driver assistance safety features such as automatic emergency brakes, forward collision warnings, lane-keep assist, and several other advanced safety features.

Renewable Energy

The usage of electric cars provides a chance for renewable energy sources integration to the vehicle owners. For example, electric car owners can use electricity produced from solar energy to charge their vehicles. It not only reduces the dependency on fuel-produced electricity but also helps decrease carbon footprints.
