Hybrid vs Electric Cars

Electric cars are so much amazing for the environment, they are more effective, produce no population, run silently and the spans life is extra long there is no issue to change oil time by time. Electric cars can be suitable for those who only makes short trips in a short area, because the electric cars does not go so far in a single charge.

Most people buy a hybrid or diesel car instead of electric car because they don’t go far enough. Hybrid cars are suitable for long driving but they are expensive, due to their design considerations. They are having extra batteries and more electronics.

Electric car can run faster than hybrid or gas car but it is having a battery range that is 300 Kms before this range finished re- charge is required. Batteries get charged in 10 minutes but after a particular range it has to be re-charged. The cost of electric cars is much lower than hybrid and gas cars. Maintenance is also very costly in hybrid cars these are zero pollution cars. But in some cases idea of having electric car is bit far they are not so much practical in day to day life in comparison to hybrid or diesel cars due to their recharge requirement after some range.

Many reports says that electric cars are not feasible for general people these days, they can not go so far, hybrid cars are successful but the maintenance and fuel cost is high they are noisy too.

Many benefits are there to have an electric car over a Hybrid car, like less maintenance, less pollution production, less moving parts and ease of maintenance, but still electric cars are not in in the market because of their charging durability, this is the only cause, people don’t go for electric cars.
