1 INTRODUCTION
The first electric passenger vehicle was invented around 200 years ago, predating the combustion engine, with
mass produced electric cars manufactured in the late-1800s, however it was quickly superseded by petrol power
by the 1930s. Today more and more vehicle manufacturers are launching new electric models in line with
targets to end the sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles, with more than 130 electric vehicles available in the
UK. An electric vehicle (EV) is powered by electricity, via an electrically charged battery pack that powers the
motor to turn the wheels, unlike petrol or dieselpowered vehicles, which run off a traditional internal
combustion engine (ICE). Electric vehicles are recharged using a dedicated charging unit, where the car’s
charge port is connected to a source of electricity and the vehicle receives and stores that electrical energy in the
battery.
A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) runs purely on electric power, stored in an on-board battery that is charged
from mains electricity (typically at a dedicated chargepoint). Battery electric vehicles do not have tailpipes
(exhausts), and therefore produce no tailpipe emissions. They are more environmentally friendly than ICE
powered vehicles and are often chosen by eco-conscious drivers. While the vehicle may be zero emission when
driving, it is important to note that there are emissions involved along the whole life of a vehicle: from the
extraction of raw materials, manufacturing, vehicle use, to recycling and disposal of the vehicle. While EVs are
cheaper to run than a petrol or diesel vehicle, their up-front cost is approximately 25% higher than the
equivalent ICE vehicle, but they are expected to achieve cost parity with ICE vehicles by 2025.
There are several benefits to owning and operating an electric vehicle, from reduced environmental pollution to
reduced fuel costs. The main benefits have been outlined below:
1.1 Environmental
Research shows that Evs are better for the environment, emitting fewer greenhouse gases and air pollutants over
their life than a petrol or diesel car. This is true even after we consider the production of the vehicle (including
battery pack) and the generation of the electricity to fuel them.
1
1.2 Cost
Evs are also cheaper to run when compared to petrol or diesel. Typically, an electric car costs less than 96.97
L.E to drive 100 miles, while the average petrol equivalent, to drive the same miles, would cost around 323.23
L.E .
1.3 Maintenance
With fewer moving parts, Evs need less maintenance and servicing is much simpler. This means that you could
save on the cost of service and maintenance.
Instant torque from the electric motor gives high and responsive acceleration and regenerative braking feeds
energy back into the battery adding to the overall vehicle efficiency. Also, the weight and distribution of the
batteries and low centre of gravity benefits handling, comfort, and safety. When driving an electric car, you are
less likely to be seriously injured.

2.1 The latest findings of the leading companies in the electric car industry
2.1.1. Tesla – the American company since 2003, the producer of electric vehicles and (through the SolarCity
branch) decisions for storage of electric energy. Unlike most car makers, Tesla does not sell cars through
independent dealers. As a rule, Tesla salons represent only show flats, purchase is carried out directly via the
website of Tesla.
2.1.2. BAIC Group– the Chinese state holding company since 1958 uniting several automobile building and
machine-building enterprises. The headquarters is located in Beijing. The main subsidiaries BAIC Group are
BAIC Motor (cars), BAW (military and SUV cars), Foton Motor (trucks, buses, agricultural machinery),
Changhe (minibuses and SUVs). Cooperation management enterprises of Beijing Hyundai and Beijing Benz
release for the Chinese market cars of brands Hyundai and Mercedes respectively. The first mass NIO electric
vehicle – the seven-seater ES8 crossover with the price from $53 thousand that is twice cheaper than the cost of
Tesla.
2.1.3. BYD – the producer of cars located in Shenzhen (China). BYD Auto is subsidiary of BYD Company Ltd
which for the first time announced itself in 1995. The company promotes development model “Independent
design, own brand, independent development”, considering the purpose “Production of world-class qualitative
cars”, and the industry purpose “Creation of the national automobile brand of world class” (Electric cars: world
market, 2019).
Driving range is one of the biggest concerns for car shoppers considering an electric vehicle. That’s because
range anxiety, the concern that your EV won’t have the battery charge needed to complete a journey, is one
very strong motivating factor. Like running out of gasoline in a conventional car, driving an EV that’s suddenly
out of charge is no one’s idea of fun.

If you’re pondering your automotive future, it appears you can count on a few things through the rest of this
decade. One is that EVs will become more convenient to own as public charging expands and the electric grid is
upgraded to handle a huge increase in home demand. Another is that EVs will get a lot better: The EV you buy
or lease today could be like an iPhone 5 in 2025 or 2030. Also possible is that a slowdown in the steady
improvement of gas-only vehicles will accompany the EV progress as the current flurry of announcements on
new electric platforms, models and battery-production facilities reflect a tectonic shift of research and
development efforts toward EVs.

2.3 History of the Electric Vehicle
Figure 2-2
Electric vehicles are not really “new” and have been in the market for almost 200 years. The innovation just
continues, making possible solutions for the shortcomings electric vehicles have. In fact, almost all countries
invest money in order to have these improved, exceeding the conventional vehicles’ performance.
The invention of the first electric vehicle is quite uncertain as several inventors are being mentioned and
credited. In 1832 to 1839, Robert Anderson, an inventor from Scotland, has created the first crude electric-
powered carriage. In 1835, another small-scale electric vehicle was designed by Professor Stratingh which was
built by his assistant, Christopher Becker. Also in 1835, Thomas Davenport created another small-scale electric
vehicle. He also created the very first American-built direct current electric motor. In 1870, Sir David Salomon
created a car with a light electric motor; however, very heavy batteries were used.
The passion to uplift the quality of electric vehicles continued years after. Great Britain and France were the
countries that focused on the improvement of the vehicles. Thomas
Davenport and Robert Anderson created more advancement in 1842.
In fact, they were the ones who used the first non-rechargeable
electric cells. Batteries were the main concern because it is the main
source of electricity; therefore, experiments on improving batteries
were rampant. In 1865 to 1881, Frenchmen Gaston Plante and
Camille Faure consecutively made several progressions with the
existing battery type. In 1980 to 1910, H. Tudor developed the
modern lead-acid battery while

3.1.1MOTORS
What is Electric Motor?
Electric motors are very important in today’s life. In everyday life, we are using motors somewhere knowingly
or unknowingly. There are many types of motors available in the market. But we choose the motor based on its
application and voltage. Each motor has two important parts. One is the stator (field winding) and the other is
the rotor (armature winding).
The main function of the stator winding is to create a fixed magnetic field in it while the rotor is placed inside it.
Due to the magnetic field, the armature winding uses energy to generate enough torque to bend the motor shaft.
1. AC Motor
2. DC Motor
3. Special-Purpose Motors

DC Motor
• Advantages:
1. Speed control over a wide range both above and below the rated speed.
2. High starting torque.
3. Quick starting, stopping, reversing and acceleration.
4. Free from harmonics.
• Disadvantages :
1. High initial cost.
2. Increased operation and maintenance cost.
3. Cannot operate in explosive and hazard conditions due to sparking occur at brush.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AC Motor
Advantages :
1. Produces less heat, friction and are lighter and more efficient.
2. The simple design of the AC motor results in extremely reliable, low maintenance operation.
3. Low cost due to the simple design of the motor.
Disadvantages :
1. Inability to operate at low speeds.
2. Produce eddy currents due to the production of a back emf.
13
1. AC Motors
1.1 Induction Motor:
Synchronous speed is the speed of rotation of the magnetic field in a rotary machine, and it depends upon the
frequency and number poles of the machine. The induction motor always runs at speed less than its synchronous
speed.
The rotating magnetic field produced in the stator will create flux in the rotor, hence causing the rotor to rotate.
Due to the lag between the flux current in the rotor and the flux current in the stator, the rotor will never reach
its rotating magnetic field speed (i.e. the synchronous speed).
There are basically two types of induction motor. The types of induction motor depend upon the input supply.
There are single phase induction motors and three phase induction motors. Single phase induction motors arenot
a self-starting motor, and three phase induction motor are a self-starting motor.
It is simple, from the name itself we can understand that here, the induction process is involved. When we give
the supply to the stator winding, a magnetic flux gets produced in the stator due to the flow of current in the
coil. The rotor winding is so arranged that each coil becomes short-circuited.
14
Special Purpose Motors includes the following motors:
• Brushless DC Motors.
These types of motors are highly efficient in producing a large amount of torque over a vast speed range. In
brushless motors, permanent magnets rotate around a fixed armature and overcome the problem of connecting
current to the armature. Commutation with electronics has a large scope of capabilities and flexibility. They are
known for smooth operation and holding torque when stationary.
Figure 3-4
The brushes change the polarity of the pole to keep the rotation on of the armature. The basic working principle
for the brushed DC motor and for brushless DC motor are same i.e. internal shaft position feedback.
Brushless DC motor has only two basic parts: rotor and the stator. The rotor is the rotating part and has rotor
magnets whereas stator is the stationary part and contains stator windings. In BLDC permanent magnets are
attached in the rotor and move the electromagnets to the stator. The high power transistors are used to activate
electromagnets for the shaft turns. The controller performs power distribution by using a solid-state circuit.

3.1.2Battery
Introduction
A battery is a device that converts chemical energy contained within its active materials directly into electric
energy by means of an electrochemical oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. This type of reaction involves the
transfer of electrons from one material to another via an electric circuit.
Whether you are an engineer or not, you must have seen at least two different types of batteries that is small
batteries and larger batteries. Smaller batteries are used in devices such as watches, alarms, or smoke detectors,
while applications such as cars, trucks, or motorcycles, use relatively large rechargeable batteries.
Batteries have become a significant source of energy over the past decade. Moreover, batteries are available in
different types and sizes as per their applications. So we will discuss different types of batteries and their uses,
so let’s get started.
While the term battery is often used the cell is the actual electrochemical unit used to generate or store electric
energy.
In understanding the differences between a cell and a battery, one should think of a battery as one or more of
these cells connected in series, or parallel, or both, depending on the desired output voltage and capacity.
• The Anode is the negative or reducing electrode that releases electrons to the external circuit and
• The Cathode is the positive or oxidizing electrode that acquires electrons from the external circuit and is
• The Electrolyte is the medium that provides the ion transport mechanism between the cathode and
anode of a cell. Electrolytes are often thought of as liquids, such as water or other solvents, with
dissolved salts, acids, or alkalis that are required for ionic conduction. It should however be noted that
many batteries including the conventional (AA/AAA/D) batteries contain solid electrolytes that
16
Figure 3-5
Desirable properties for anode, cathode, and electrolyte materials are noted below.
A primary cell or battery is one that cannot easily be recharged after one use, and are discarded following
discharge. Most primary cells utilize electrolytes that are contained within absorbent material or a separator (i.e.
no free or liquid electrolyte), and are thus termed dry cells.
Generally, primary batteries are relatively inexpensive, lightweight, and convenient to use, with little or no
maintenance. Primary batteries exist in many sizes and forms, ranging from coin cells to AA batteries. These
are commonly seen in applications like pacemakers, animal trackers, wristwatches, remote controls, children’s
toys, etc.
A secondary cell or battery is one that can be electrically recharged after use to their original pre-discharge
condition, by passing current through the circuit in the opposite direction to the current during discharge. The
following graphic evidences the recharging process.
Secondary batteries can be further classified into several other types based on their chemistry. This is very
important because the chemistry determines some of the attributes of the battery including its specific energy,
cycle life, shelf life, and price to mention a few.
The following are the different types of rechargeable batteries that are commonly used.
1. Lead-Acid
2. Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd)
3. Lithium-ion(Li-ion)
18
Figure 3-6
Flooded batteries also known as Wet Batteries are the most common ones, available in the whole world. Lead
batteries are widely used for Home UPS batteries and Car Batteries. And they can also be classified on the basis
of their application. For Example, Home UPS batteries are deep cycle and Car batteries are dual-purpose .
Due to the risk of spills, they cannot be shipped by air. During the
charging process, FLA batteries consume water and release Figure 3-7
hydrogen gas, which must be properly vented to avoid potential fire hazards.
19
1.2 What is a GEL Battery?
Gel batteries are another VRLA battery very much like an AGM, but they use a thick paste that allows the
magic to happen rather than the fiberglass mat.
The main difference between gel and AGM batteries is the charge rates. AGM batteries can handle higher
charge and discharge rates than gel batteries.
Gel batteries are the most costly of the VRLA batteries, but excellent candidates for projects that need a very
slow deep discharge. They also last a bit longer in hotter temperatures, so you might pick them if you are
concerned about high ambient temperatures in the space where the batteries are enclosed.
It is very common for people to mistake a Gel for an AGM, and this can affect the lifespan of the battery. Gel
batteries are the most sensitive of the VRLA batteries, and It is critical that the correct charging parameters are
used when you have a Gel battery in your application.
Figure 3-8
Lithium-ion batteries are used in most aspects of our everyday lives. Most devices like smartphones and laptops
cannot operate without these batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have also become very important in the field of
electromobility as it is now the battery of choice in most electric vehicles. Its high specific energy gives it an
advantage over other batteries.
There are different types of lithium-ion batteries and the main difference between them lies in their cathode
materials. Different kinds of lithium-ion batteries offer different features, with trade-offs between specific
power, specific energy, safety, lifespan, cost, and performance.
The six lithium-ion battery types that we will be comparing are Lithium Cobalt Oxide, Lithium Manganese
Oxide, Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide, Lithium Iron Phosphate, Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum
Oxide, and Lithium Titanate. Firstly, understanding the key terms below will allow for a simpler and easier
comparison.
20
Battery Terms
Specific energy: This defines the battery capacity in weight (Wh/kg). The capacity relates to the runtime.
Products requiring long runtimes at moderate load are optimized for high specific energy.
Specific power: It's the ability to deliver a high current and indicates loading capability. Batteries for power
tools are made for high specific power and come with a reduced specific energy.
A high specific power usually comes with reduced specific energy and vice versa. The pouring of bottled water
into a glass is a perfect analogy of the relationship between specific power and specific energy. The water in the
bottle can be thought of as specific energy. Pouring the water at a slow rate doesn’t provide enough force (low
specific power), but the water lasts longer in the bottle (high specific energy). On the other hand, if we pour the
water out at a faster rate, it provides a greater impact (high specific power). However, the water wouldn’t last
very long in the bottle ( low specific energy).
Figure 3-9
Performance: This measures how well the battery works over a wide range of temperatures. Most batteries
are sensitive to heat and cold and require climate control. Heat reduces life, and cold lowers performance
temporarily.
Lifespan: This reflects cycle life and longevity and is related to factors such as temperature, depth of
discharge, and load. Hot climates accelerate capacity loss. Cobalt blended lithium-ion batteries also usually
have a graphite anode that limits the cycle life.
21
Safety: This relates to factors such as the thermal stability of the materials used in the batteries. The materials
should have the ability to sustain high temperatures before becoming unstable. Instability can lead to thermal
runaway in which flaming gases are vented. Fully charging the battery and keeping it beyond the designated age
reduces safety.
Cost: Demand for electric vehicles has generally been lower than anticipated, mainly due to the cost of
lithium-ion batteries. Hence cost is a huge factor when selecting the type of lithium-ion battery.
Now that we understand the major battery characteristics, we will use them as the basis for comparing our six
types of lithium-ion batteries. The characteristics are rated as either high, moderate, or low. The table below
provides a simple comparison of the six lithium-ion battery types.
It is important to note that the six types of lithium-ion batteries are compared relative to one
another.
Table 3.1
22
2.1 Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) — LFP (Project Battery) only has one major disadvantage when
compared to other types of lithium-ion batteries, and that is its low specific energy. Other than that, it has
moderate to high ratings in all the other characteristics. It has high specific power, offers a high level of safety,
has a high lifespan, and comes at a low cost. The performance of this battery is also moderate. It is often
employed in electric
2.2 Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2) — NMC has two major advantages as compared to the
other batteries. The first one is its high specific energy, which makes it desirable in electric powertrains, electric vehicles,
and electric bikes. The other is its low cost. It is moderate in terms of specific power, safety, lifespan, and performance
when compared to the other lithium-ion batteries. It can be optimized to either have high specific power or high specific
energy.
23
Future Batteries
• Solid-state Li-ion: High specific energy but poor loading and safety.
• Lithium-sulfur: High specific energy but poor cycle life and poor loading
• Lithium-air: High specific energy but poor loading, needs clean air to breath and has short life.
compares the specific energy of lead-, nickel- and lithium-based systems. While Li-aluminum (NCA) is the
clear winner by storing more capacity than other systems, this only applies to specific energy. In terms of
specific power and thermal stability, Li-manganese (LMO) and Li-phosphate (LFP) are superior. Li-titanate
(LTO) may have low capacity but this chemistry outlives most other batteries in terms of life span and also has
the best cold temperature performance. Moving towards the electric powertrain, safety and cycle life will gain
dominance over capacity. (LCO stands for Li-cobalt, the original Li-ion.)

3.1.3Controller
Power electronics controller determines the working of an
electric car. It performs the regulation of electrical energy from
the batteries to the electric motors. The pedal set by the driver
determines the speed of the car and frequency of variation of
voltage that is input to the motor. It also controls the torque
produced.
Figure 3-12
With regenerative braking, the energy from your spinning wheels is used to reverse the direction of electricity -
from the electric motor(s) to the battery. All you have to do is remove your foot from the accelerator or, in some
cases, press the brake pedal to activate regenerative braking. The electric motor not only acts as an electric
generator, but it also helps slow your car down because energy is consumed by the wheels as they rotate the
shaft in the electric motor.
25
How Efficient Is Regenerative Braking?
You can't pinpoint a certain number when it comes to the system's efficiency. The amount of saved energy
through regenerative braking is proportional to the level of braking force. So, the system works better at higher
speeds and for heavier vehicles.
For electric vehicles, regenerative braking can save up to 75 percent of the energy that would be wasted through
conventional braking. For hybrid or classic cars, it can lower fuel consumption by 10 to 20 percent. While it
doesn't make a huge difference, it might help you get over your EV range anxiety.
Regenerative braking is less efficient at low speeds, especially during traffic congestion. When driving in slow-
moving traffic, you stop the car using a small amount of braking force, so not a lot of energy is available to
recharge the car's batteries. It might be worth taking some time and using a travel planning app to avoid heavy
traffic, especially if you're low on battery!
Identifying the transition point between the regenerative and conventional braking system takes some time. So
compared to older cars, you'd have to step harder on the pedal if you need to stop your vehicle fast.
However, in modern vehicles, you can select how regenerative braking feels, so you'll feel confident while
driving. In addition, you can select the maximum level if you want to recharge your batteries as much as
possible, or you can disable it completely if you're not familiar with the car slowing down by itself.
Depending on the car manufacturer, if you lift your foot completely off the accelerator pedal, the car will firmly
brake.
This is known as "one-pedal driving" since you only need to control the accelerator pedal instead of constantly
switching between the brake and accelerator pedals. The one-pedal driving system, also known as E-pedal, is
already available on several electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf, Jaguar I-Pace, and Tesla Model S
Performance.
However, you can't tell for sure how much money regenerative braking is saving. Many factors influence its
efficiency, including factors the manufacturer can't anticipate, such as your driving abilities or traffic
conditions.

4.4 Center Of Gravity
There are two ways to calculate the car's center of gravity
• First :
Traditional way that is Carry the car until the sides balance
• Second :
By computational operation
In this case, the weight of the vehicle must be known, by measuring the load on the front and rear axle, and the
body weight is the sum of the weight on the front and rear axle.
- Weight on the front axle Rf (total weight on the two front wheels)
- Weight on the rear axle Rr (total weight on the two rear wheels)

between the two axles (the ratio of the front weight to the weight of the car x the distance between the two
.axles), and the distance increases with the increase in the weight ratio on the front axle )

Calculating the position of the car's center of gravity in relation to the vertical
axis (the z-axis)
Required measurements:
-Weight at rear axle RR (total weight at two wheels at the rear axle
-Front wheel clearance, or vehicle elevation angle
33
-vehicle weight W (total weight on both axles)
-The position of the center of gravity relative to the longitudinal dimension (from calculating the position of the
center of gravity by method a), a or b
Calculation method:
This method does not require an inclined plane to make the measurement, but the load is measured on one of
the axes while raising the other axle off the ground for a short distance h1 as in the figure.
Loads are measured by axes scales or by the approximate method.
The angle of inclination is measured by a protractor or a protractor hydrometer. Or the angle can be calculated
by trigonometry .
* It is preferred: in the case of using the axle balance, the weight can be measured on the rear axle, and we
obtain the weight on the front axle as follows (car weight - rear axle weight). If the approximate method is used,
we find the weight on the front wheels and we get the weight on the front axle by adding the weight on the front
wheel.
Figure 4-9
By raising the front of the car a distance h1 (in the range of 30-50 cm), the weight is measured on the rear axle
Rr.
The weight on the front axle, Rf, is calculated by subtracting the weight on the rear axle from the weight of the
vehicle.

4.6 The Main Components of Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles consists of an electric motor that is powered by a battery pack. The main advantage of electric
vehicles is that they emit zero emissions and are eco-friendly. They also do not consume any fossil fuels, hence
use a sustainable form of energy for powering the car. The main components of electric vehicles are :
1. Battery pack
2. DC-DC Converter
3. Electric motor
4. Controller
5. Thermal system (cooling)
6. Transmission
7. Speedometer
8. Throttle Accelerator

2. DC-DC Converter
Figure 4-15
3. Electric motor
Electric traction motor is the main components of electric vehicle. The motor converts the electrical energy into
kinetic energy. This energy rotates the wheels. Electric motor is the main component that differentiates an
electric car from conventional cars. An important feature of an electric motor is the regenerative braking
mechanism. This mechanism slows down the vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into another form, and
storing it for future use. (instead of a IC engine )

3 Thermal system (cooling)
The thermal management system is responsible for maintaining an operating temperature for the main
components of an electric vehicle such as, electric motor, controller etc. It functions during charging as well to
obtain maximum performance. It uses a combination of forced air cooling and heat sink .
4 Transmission
It is used to transfer the mechanical power from the electric motor to the
wheels, through a gearbox. The advantage of electric cars is that they do
not require multi-speed transmissions. The transmission efficiency should
be high to avoid power loss.
Figure 4-21
6 Throttle Accelerator
The acceleration pedal is the pedal on the right that would typically be
known as the gas. Since the EV doesn’t take gas, it is no longer referred
to as the gas pedal.

5 CONCLUSION / DISCUSSION
5.1 What are the advantages of electric cars?
Electric vehicles have many benefits, including:
• Cleaner environment
• No congestion charge
• Lower running costs
• Renewable electricity tariffs
• Better driving experience
• Government funding
• Free parking
• Reduced noise pollution
• Increased resale value
Pure EVs have no tailpipe, so they don’t emit any exhaust gases, which reduces local
air pollution particularly in congested cities.
Figure 5-1
2. No congestion charge
Some areas are introducing Clean Air Zones with fees designed to discourage polluting
vehicles from entering certain areas.
There's also cheaper service and maintenance plus low or no vehicle tax.
Figure 5-3
54
4. Renewable EV tariffs
Our EV electricity tariffs are all renewable.
Power your electric car and home with our choice of GoElectric tariffs.
Figure 5-4
5. Better driving
EVs have more responsive acceleration and regenerative braking when easing off the
accelerator.
They tend to have a low centre of gravity, which improves handling, comfort and
safety.
Figure 5-5
6. Free parking
You can often find free, priority or dedicated parking bays for electric cars,
For example, in Milton Keynes, there are more than 15,000 city centre bays where
Figure 5-6
electric car drivers can park for free.
7. Less noise
In fact, electric cars are so quiet, they are now required by law to have an Acoustic
Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) to emit a sound when reversing or travelling below
Figure 5-7
12mph (19km/h).

5.2 What are the Disadvantages of electric cars?
Electric fuelling stations are still in the development stages. Not a lot of places you go to on a daily basis will
have electric fuelling stations for your vehicle, meaning that if you’re on a long trip or decide to visit family in a
rural or suburban area and run out of charge, it may be harder to find a
charging station maps where you live and where you frequently go so that
If you’re looking for a luxury option, you may be paying $80,000 or even
more. Though technology is advancing and the price to produce electric cars
continues to drop, you still have to pay $10,000 to $50,000 more for an EV
than for a gas-powered car.
Figure 5-9
Electric cars are limited by range and speed. Most of these cars have a range of
about 50-100 miles and need to be recharged again. You just can’t use them for
long journeys as of now, although it is expected to improve in the future.
Figure 5-10
56
4. Longer Recharge Time
While it takes a couple of minutes to fuel your gasoline-powered car, an electric car
takes about 4-6 hours and sometimes even a day to get fully charged.
Therefore, you need dedicated power stations as the time taken to recharge them is
quite long. Thus, the time investment and necessary planning do put some people
off.
There are some kits that can cut the charging time down. But again, that is going to
be an additional investment. So consider that, too. Figure 5-11
5. Silence as a Disadvantage
Silence can be a bit disadvantage as people like to hear the noise if they are
coming from behind them. An electric car is, however, silent and can lead to
accidents in some cases.
Figure 5-12
6. Battery Replacement
Depending on the type and usage of battery, batteries of almost all electric
cars are required to be changed every 3-10 years.
Figure 5-13
7. Not Suitable for Cities, Facing Shortage of Power
As electric cars need the power to charge up, the cities that already facing
acute power shortages are not suitable for electric cars. The consumption of
more power would hamper their daily power needs.
