Advantages and disadvantages of electric car?

Answer 1

If you are talking a pure electric you are range limited; you must live where you can install a charging station; the car will be advertised as nonpolluting, but that ignores how the electricity is produced to charge the battery; the car is likely more costly, but subsidized by the government; it is quiet, but some think this makes it more dangerous; it may be cheaper to operate but may require 10 years to realize a savings given inflated up front costs. There are various options to extend the range of the electric, but none are really good alternatives given current technology. People are not buying electric vehicles in large quantities, so likely the disadvantages outweigh the advantages for most people. It is reported that the medium family income for a Chevy Volt buyer is $175,000 annually. Hence, it certainly isn't the technology for the common person.

Answer 2

Advantages of electric cars include zero emissions, lower operating costs due to cheaper electricity compared to gasoline, and potential for reduced maintenance. Disadvantages may include limited driving range compared to traditional cars, longer refueling times due to charging, and higher upfront purchase costs.
