Should My 2021 New Car Be All-Electric?
Many governments around the world would like to see what can only be called an electric car revolution. Does that mean your 2021 new car should be all electric?
Although electric cars have come a long way, there are still many problems related to their use. One of the biggest problems that concerns the general public is range. Far from all electric cars have generous ranges. Having a good range is certainly important when you drive longer distances on a regular basis.
That leads to the next problem. Despite new technology, it does take a long time to charge electric cars. What happens if you have to drive 500 miles in a day?
Driving longer distances means that you really need to have some way of speed charging your car. Not only that, you must be sure that charging facilities are going to be available before you even go on that long drive.
Are electric cars cheaper to run? Although they are cleaner, electric cars are not necessarily cheaper to run. Before you go ahead and make your 2021 new car all electric, you had better check out the running costs. Maintenance and insurance are just two of the factors that you should consider. On top of that, you should also check out the expected lifespan of your car’s batteries and their replacement cost.
Yes, one day, we will probably all have to go all electric. But, until we have a clearer picture of what we can expect from our electric car, maybe you should make your 2021 new car a hybrid. In that way, you get the best of both worlds.
You will have the benefit of a fuel infrastructure and know that your car is not going to run out of juice. Before we go all electric, it is important to learn to trust this exciting new technology.
