Electric cars are considered expensive because of the cost of the battery. The Cobalt components are electrode components in the battery and this is specifically very expensive. Another reason for why these cars is expensive is that the production architecture is not equipped to mass manufacture the batteries.

An electric car takes anything between 30 minutes to nearly a whole day to fully charge. This also depends on the model, company, weather and how much the battery has already been drained.

The electric cars run on batteries that will require charging which then powers the motor functioning and these EV’s can be easily charged at home.

A fully charged electric car can go up to 100 miles which is about a 160 kms.

Tesla batteries last for a minimum of 250 miles on a single charge. The longest-range Tesla has run a little bit over 402 miles of range for a full charge.

Its not necessary to charge the electric car every night and it doesn’t need to be fully charged either.

Electric cars do come with a few disadvantages. One such disadvantage is that the electricity generated can cause pollution and the manufacturing of these batteries also causes a great deal of pollution too.

A few disadvantages of electric cars are that some EV’s have a short range for driving, the investment on the car can be expensive, fewer choices and the charging takes time.

Currently the cheapest electric car in India is the Tata Tigor EV.

Electric cars don’t require oil changes.

If the electric car runs out of charge it will simply stop and will be required to be towed. However, the electric car will need to be taken to the nearest charging station.

Tesla and Ford come with radiator coolant on the battery pack and the all-electric Nissan lead uses air-cooling system to keep the temperature of batteries in check.
