Title: Electric Cars - What You Need to Know

Electric Cars
  • What You Need to Know

Introduction
  • An electric car is propelled by at least one
    electric motor that uses electrical energy to
    run. This energy is stored in rechargeable
    batteries or other electrical storage devices.
  • Contrary to a hybrid car that is powered by
    petrol or diesel and uses a battery as well as a
    motor to enhance its efficiency, an electric car
    is fuelled by electricity only.

Electric Cars Require Minimum Maintenance
  • In contrast with combustion engines, the motors
    of electric cars have fewer moving parts. As a
    result totally electric cars can go without
    maintenance for much longer running hours.
  • However, electric cars lose their efficiency
    beyond a certain number of recharges. This is
    because, like any battery, the cells in the
    batteries of electric cars can only be recharged
    a specific number of times before they lose their
    efficiency.

4
Electric Cars Can be a Money-Saver
  • Appropriate use of an electric car saves you
    money in the long term. If you intend on using
    the electric car for local commuting then the
    cost to recharge the car will be lower than
    running a vehicle on fossil fuels.
  • Not all electric cars are expensive and grants
    are also available in the UK

5
The Battery is the Most Expensive Component
  • A larger and more complex variant of lithium
    battery technology is used in most electric cars
    today. This is what makes an electric car
    expensive. However, these high-tech batteries are
    equipped with technology that makes them less
    prone to fault or failure.
  • Some car manufacturers also offer replacement of
    the battery in the event of total battery
    failure. The Tips to maintain your car engine PPT
    doesnt need any changes making.

6
Electric Cars Can be Charged at Home
  • Charging an electric car is as simple as charging
    a smartphone. All you need to do is, plug it in
    at night, and you can then use it in the morning
    for your daily commute.
  • Additionally, there are an increasing number of
    public charging points that you can utilize
    during the day, when at work.

7
Electric Cars Have a Short Range
  • Electric cars cannot travel as far as cars
    powered by traditional fossil fuels. However, new
    innovations in technology are being utilized to
    increase their range and to meet with the
    expectations of new drivers.

8
  • Your driving habits will determine whether an
    electric car will be suitable for you.
  • Your budget is also a major consideration when
    buying an electric car. If you decide to buy one,
    you can further enhance its look by adding a DVLA
    private number plate.
  • With soaring market competition, the electric
    vehicle manufacturers are set to break new
    barriers and make electric cars suitable for all
    drivers.
