According to the guide offered by Blink Charging<\/strong>, one of the advantages of an electric vehicle is that it requires less maintenance than its internal combustion engine, or gasoline-powered, cousins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because they have fewer moving parts and less fluids. As much as 70% of the components of an electric vehicle may be different from those of an internal combustion engine vehicle, according to CALSTART, a California-based organization focused on clean transportation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With internal combustion engine vehicles, you need a starter, gas tank, fuel injectors, throttle valve, pistons and cylinders, exhaust system, water and fuel pumps, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, electric vehicles have on-board charger, battery, motors and cooling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage of an electric vehicle is performance. You get more for your money when it comes to driving an electric vehicle. This is because a higher percentage of the power generated by the motor goes into driving the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially noticeable during acceleration. Unless the user is driving an ultra-high-performance internal combustion engine car, there is a slight delay between when you step on the accelerator and when the car actually accelerates.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an electric vehicle, acceleration is instantaneous. You press the accelerator and the car accelerates immediately, since, unlike a combustion car, the power in an electric vehicle is applied directly to the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
