Are electric cars something to consider if you want to decrease your personal impact on the environment? It’s a tough one to gauge when there is a lot of different information out there. So we thought we would summarise some of the facts and opinions out there so you can make an informed decision next time you get an itch for a new ride.
The good
- Cheaper to run and service.
- Less carbon emission from your vehicle.
- Low noise pollution.
The bad
- You could run out of charge and are limited to the availability of charging stations.
- Their use of electricity means they still use an energy that gives off emissions.
