Looking At Electric Automobiles And A Few Of Their Benefits

By Nicole Dubrock


I'm sure you have seen the commercials on television for the new all electric automobiles. And just so you know we are not referring to the hybrids that run on both gas and electric, we are referring to electric vehicles which use 100% electricity to power them. Years ago these types of vehicles was something that you would see in a science fiction movie, but these vehicles are now being used today. While there are not plenty of auto manufacturers creating these vehicles yet, there are organizations that are manufacturing them. In the following paragraphs we're going to be taking a look at the positive aspects and also the drawbacks to the electric car.

One of the clear benefits of driving an electric car would be the fact that you'll not have to stop at the gasoline stations to fill up. And due to the cost of gas these days getting up to $4.00 per gallon this can in addition mean some enormous savings for you. In fact if you are one of the folks who spend about $60.00 in order to fill up their gas tanks, and you have to do this every week, you are going to end up saving over $3000 each and every year by utilizing an electrical car instead of a car that runs on gas. You'll not only be able to improve your everyday life with an extra $3000 each year, but you will also love the fact that you will not need to stop at gas stations any longer.

You will also end up decreasing the pollution developed every day to the planet by not burning standard fuels in your vehicle. What this means is that not only will you not be reducing pollution on account of the exhaust of your vehicle, but you are going to also not be contributing to the big oil organizations. The pollution of our world is something that is incredibly serious and anything you can do to help reduce this will be useful.

As with anything that's new, you're going to find down sides and to be honest there is a downside of owning an electric car. The only disadvantage I can think of would be that these electric vehicles have a limited driving distance of about 100 miles. For many individuals this won't be a problem as this is much greater than their daily travel time back and forth to work. On the flip side there are men and women who take long drives every week, over 100 miles, so this vehicle would not be the best choice if it's your only vehicle. This is certainly not the sort of vehicle that you would want to take on a cross country trip.

Getting an electric car might be one of the greatest options you have when it comes to reducing pollution, saving money on gas and helping the planet. Obviously the price of these vehicles are a lot more expensive than you would wind up paying for standard gas powered vehicle, but the money you save makes it worth your while. Of course the $3000 savings every year would wind up meaning that you're saving $30,000 every 10 years. So if you want to help our planet along with your pocketbook simultaneously, buying an electric car might be an excellent method for you to do this.
