Advantages of Electric Vehicles

 

Benefits of E – Vehicles

• Nowadays, E – vehicles are slowly takes place by petrol / diesel vehicles. Electrical Vehicless ( EV ) have zero tailpipe emissions and create better environment. 
• In this article, we will discuss advantages of E – Vehicles.

Tailpipes Emissions : 

• Greenhouse Gases are emitted from the tail pipes of cars and trucks from combustion of fuel. 
• Once these gases are releases, they can stay in atmosphere for very long time or say 100 years and more. 
• The Greenhouse Gases raises sea levels resulting dangerous effects to living near sea.

Advantages of E – Vehicles

Lower running cost

• Charging of electrical vehicles is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel. 
• The electric cost can be reduced if the charging is done through source of renewable energy such as solar panel etc.

Lower maintenance cost

• As there are no moving parts as an that of in internal combustion petrol or diesel vehicles therefore running cost of electrical vehicles are significantly low.

Zero tailpipe emissions

• The electric vehicles can help to reduce carbon emission because it does not emit carbon.

Tax and financial benefits

• The road tax as well as registration fees on electrical vehicles are lesser than petrol or diesel vehicles. 
• The incentive offered by country / state are depends on the E – vehicle policies. 
• The incentives for E – vehicles is given under the FAME – Faster adoption and manufacturing of hybrid and electrical vehicles.

Vehicle Type	Approximate Incentive	Battery Capacity
Two wheelers	Rs. 15000 per kWh up to 40 % of the cost of vehicles	2 kWh
Three wheelers	Rs. 10000 per kWh	5 kWh
Four wheelers	Rs. 10000 per kWh	15 kWh
E buses	Rs. 20000 per kWh	250 kWh
E trucks	Rs. 20000 per kWh

 

State incentive: The policy for incentive for different state is given as below.

Easy & Quiet Drive ( no noise pollution )

• Electric vehicles doesn’t have gears so easy to drive for anyone. 
• It does not produce any noise so reduce noise pollution during driving.

Limited source of fossil fuel

• The fossil fuel source is limited in our planet. 
• The Co₂ emission from electrical vehicles lead to adverse effects on public health. 
• The electrical vehicles can convert around 60% of electrical energy from grid to power vehicles whereas petrol / diesel cars converts only 17% - 21% energy stored in fuel to the wheels. 
• The petrol / diesel emit almost 3 times more carbon dioxide than average E – vehicles.

Convenient of charging at home

• Charging of  E – vehicles is as easy as charging of our mobile. 
• Simply plug electric vehicle in at your home charge for 4 – 5 hours for complete charging.
