3. Environmental Benefits
One of the most compelling reasons to buy an electric car is to help reduce your impact on the climate. Recent studies have shown that while building a new car has an immense environmental impact, EVs are better for the environment after just a few years of ownership.
4. Improved Driving Experience
Gasoline engines build up their power gradually, beginning when you step on the gas pedal. Even the fastest gasoline engines take a few seconds to reach full torque.
Electric motors make 100% of their power available at all times.
This means that electric cars accelerate dramatically faster than their gasoline-powered counterparts. Tesla now produces an electric car capable of a 0-60 mph sprint in less than 2 seconds — a mark never achieved with gasoline.
It’s difficult to overstate the impact of electric power on automotive performance. Thanks to the rise of electricity, there is now a Kia hatchback with a faster 0-60 mph time than even Lamborghini or Ferrari had achieved just 10 years ago.
