Electric vehicles are taking over the roads, a soothing balm to Global warming affiliated environment
With our precious ozone layer getting depleted by the increased pollution because of fuel and industrial smoke emissions, the advent of electric vehicles is like a lifesaving raft.
Although they have only recently gained popularity among the population, the history of electric vehicles dates back to the late 19th century. They were even popular during World War 2.
Global Warming
The toxic emissions from fuel-powered vehicles are not only harmful to us but the environment as well. They deplete the ozone layer, a protective gaseous layer surrounding Earth, and protect it from the direct onslaught of UV radiation from the Sun.
As a result, the heat which enters our atmosphere gets trapped, creating a greenhouse effect, and making the planet warmer. Besides, direct UV radiation causes various illnesses, the most prominent being skin cancer.
Why an Electric Vehicle?
With the growing understanding among people to save the environment, the demand for electric vehicles has increased exponentially.
The five significant benefits of using an electric vehicle in your day-to-day life are listed below.
-
Reduces gas pollution
Electric vehicles work on electric engines with a closed circuit, which reduces the carbon footprint as they have zero tailpipe emissions. That helps immensely to reduce pollution and contributes to saving the environment.
The presence of solar panels at your home is even more eco-friendly. Not only that, but the use of electricity instead of gas to power your vehicle also reduces your expenditure. With the ever-increasing rates of fuel, this is incredibly beneficial.
-
Reduces noise pollution
Unlike the vibration and noise created by a fuel-powered motor, the E-vehicles are pretty quiet. There is no motor engine, which makes the annoying unwanted noise while driving a forgotten inconvenience. Plus, it also makes your ride smooth and pleasant.
They are so quiet that users have to check if it is “on.” That is why manufacturers started to add fake sounds for the safety of pedestrians.
-
Economical
Electric vehicles are very, very cost-efficient. Not only are you spared the cost of fuels, but the maintenance cost is also low. Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts that require less maintenance than petrol or diesel-run vehicles, which makes them even more pocket-friendly.
Also, the charging costs can be reduced further by using renewable energy sources like solar panels. Moreover, the registration fees and road tax of electric vehicles are less than fuel-based vehicles.
-
Safe to drive
With their easy-to-drive mechanics compared to fuel-based vehicles, electric vehicles are comparatively safe to drive. E-cars have no complex gear transmission system, which makes them secure.
Also, teenagers, who have tuitions to attend, can drive E-scooter or E-bikes without a license and utmost safety because the average speed of E-vehicles is less than the petrol-based bikes and scooters.
-
Convenience
Electric vehicles can easily be charged at home beforehand. Now no need to wait in a long line at a fuel station to get the tank of your vehicle filled. Also, if you want to travel a short distance, then an E-vehicle is the best option for you.
They traverse traffic efficiently, are lightweight, easy to park, and save you from the hassle of traveling in crowded public transport. The age of electric vehicles is here, and with all these benefits mentioned above, one can surely see the merit of purchasing an electric vehicle.
