Electric Cars

Electric  Cars Should Not Be Underestimated

Arguments over the electric cars have never changed. People think of electric cars as slow and expensive machines. However, if they dug a little deeper, they would find that all these things about electric cars wrong.

Slow?

First, lets get up to speed. The typical car brands that aim for speed are Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and etc... It seems hilarious to compare the cars that these companies make against an electric car, or is it? The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 costs about $200,000 and has the acceleration of 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. A Tesla Roadster also has 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. Though you might argue that the top speed is vastly faster for the Gallardo, unless you own or can rent a track or airport,
you have no where to use that speed. Besides, the Tesla costs $72,000 less, and for that you are saving the planet.

Expensive?

This problem is initially directed at the likes of the Tesla Model S. Yes for an electric car, the $60,000 - $100,000 price range doesn't seem cheap. Here's the thing. The Tesla Model S is a LUXURY ELECTRIC CAR. We can obviously see that with luggage capacity, seating, interior design, and of course, the gigantic touch screen. The Model S's competitors are the Mercedes CLS and the BMW 6 series, which also have a similar price range.

 

What about the Nissan Leaf and the Ford Focus Electric?

Though these electric cars might seem a bit more expensive than the usual cars, these cars have better fuel efficiency. While hybrids will have around 40 to 50 mpg, the electric cars range from 80 to 100 equivalent. Also, the gas prices will probably not stop rising.

What about Hybrids?

In my opinion, the word hybrid is like saying half. When you get a hybrid, you get HALF an Electric car. You also save HALF the environment. People tend to get confused about the main point about the electric car. Hybrids are made for FUEL EFFICIENCY, not saving the environment. Electric cars on the other hand, are made to help SAVE THE PLANET. Though they can HAVE good fuel efficiency, that is not their sole purpose.

Conclusion

As a result, we can conclude that electric cars are just as good as normal cars. Being electric, they even have additional advantages. As of the end of this piece we can see that saving the environment and being nearly completely silent just some of the great features of electric cars. The conclusion is not whether to buy or not to buy an electric car. The conclusion is that electric cars are just as good as gasoline cars.
