Benefits
Electric cars offer advantages such as the reduction of greenhouse gases. By not emitting polluting gases, cleaner air is generated. This helps to reduce the carbon footprint and the negative impact on the environment.
It also generates lower service costs. These types of cars require fewer repairs, since they have a modest amount of moving parts compared to traditional cars. This leads to a decrease in the number of visits to the workshop and in expenses associated with maintenance.
Another advantage is savings. Charging an electric vehicle is cheaper than filling up with gasoline or diesel, as the price of electricity is more stable and lower compared to fossil fuels.
