Should you buy an electric car or not? Full guide

Nowadays the craze for electric cars (EVs) is increasing, and people are confused whether they should buy EV or not. First of all let’s talk about environment, electric cars are absolutely pollution-free – no smoke, no engine noise. If you think eco-friendly and want to invest in future-ready technology, then EV is a good option for you. Government is also promoting EVs – there are many benefits like subsidy, tax benefits and discount in road tax.

On the other hand, there is talk of cost and running expense. The initial price of electric cars is a bit higher, but their running cost is very low – around ₹1-2/km. Charging cost is cheaper than fuel and maintenance is also less as EVs do not have moving parts like engine oil, clutch, gear box. But charging infrastructure is not available everywhere, so buying an EV is more practical only if you live in a metro city or a developed area.

After all, it also depends on your daily usage pattern. If your daily travel is less than 100 km, there is an option of charging at home, and you are thinking about long-term savings – then buying an electric car can be a smart decision.

But if you have to travel a lot of long distances and do not trust the charging points on the highway, then petrol/diesel option may be better for now. This means that while taking a decision, it is important to think about usage, budget, location and future plans.
