Electric Vehicles: The Future of Commuting in India
THE COMMUTE OF THE FUTURE
Besides the potential long-term savings on an electric vehicle,
they are also the best-suited environment- friendly option for commuting.
Residents of the city share their perspective on the benefits of owning an EV
Fuel prices in India are all-time highs Besides the high taxes rising prices of crude oil are hardly showing any signs of slowing down. it’s the consumer who has to bear the brunt of the higher prices. The only thing that consumers can do is look for alternatives.
Eléctric vehicles have been prevalent since 1880, but they have recently become more popular due to the rise of fuel prices and the overall negative effect of fuel powered vehicles.
It is always better to have electric vehicles other than petrol and diesel vehicles.
Electric vehicles are cheaper as compared to their ICE counterparts. Also, they help in reducing pollution such an noise, air and It runs at a very low cost shares Sandeep an event planner.
“Keeping the environmental perspective is mind, of course electric vehicles are better options, They will also save money as there is no fuel to buy, no oil change, no smog test, etc. shares Mitali Jain intern at a PR agency.
Most of the indian electric cars still offer a limited driving range “Electute vehicles, be it a car or scooter are still preferable, but the problem is they have a very short driving range. it’s perfect for a city ride. Butt for long distance one will keep a spare car which again doesn’t solve the purpose. It will be considered as a welcome change only when a single charge can take you to at least 700 kms, avers, Abhishek Mishra, owner of a security firm.
Electricity is also one of the vital resources and in future there will have to be an equilibrium between the energy we consume and the energy we generate. De. Ankit, a city-based homeopath says Rather than relying on electric vehicles. I think we should find other alternatives also such as Germany has recently rolled out the world’s first hydrogen-powered train.”
I personally will choose a hybrid vehicle because by improving Infrastructure and automobile engineering we can work on methods which can provide fuel efficient machines because using too much electricity will again cause an energy crisis. He adds. Electric cars are cheaper as compared to conventional gas vehicles. An electric car costs
significantly less to run and maintain than a fuel powered vehicle. “As the fuel prices are at an all-time high our country. Evs are the best option to go for. Becausе we are getting the same efficiency as well as there are no by-products which can harm the environment. And to refuel, you simply plug in at home, at work or at a charging station,” says an engineer from the city Sahil.
“First of all, by using EV, we can save fossil fuels and due to this the demand for crude will apparently go down. As petrol prices are rising with each passing day. EVs are great alternatives. I personally will prefer both hybrid and EV vehicles for different purposes. For daily commute I will prefer electric and for long distances I will prefer hybrid car,” avers, Gaurav a city based stock-broker
