EVS Are A lot Better than you can think
Electric cars are good! This would have made for a laughable statement some years ago, given how uninteresting the first few electric cars were and how the lack of a sustainable ecosystem for them had almost put a question mark on their future. But electric cars have taken some quantum leaps in terms of technology of late, and are so advanced and impressive today that many are questioning the existence of internal combustion engine-powered cars even before fossil fuel reserves are depleted. Clearly, electric cars are here to stay. So why not take note of how good EVs are for us?
Range anxiety
Blame early electric cars for seeding this! Early EVs struggled to even get anywhere close to the 100km mark in terms of range. But modern-day electric cars can cover more distance in one charge than what petrol or diesel cars could, on a full tank. For instance, the Hyundai Kona electric boasts an ARAI certified range of 452km. So range anxiety is a thing of the past! In fact, 450km is more than what most of us commute in one week, so where’s the question of running out of charge? Effectively you can also head out for that weekend drive with your family in an electric SUV, like the Hyundai Kona, without having to worry about being stranded on a highway without charge. And that’s besides the fact that Hyundai India is setting up fast charging stations at all dealerships selling the Kona electric, so charging infrastructure or the lack of it is not a concern either.
