The Pros and Cons of Electric Cars vs Gasoline Cars

It’s a debate that has been raging in the automotive industry since the release of the first electric car – do you choose an electric vehicle (EV) or do you stick with your standard gas-powered car? You might think it’s an easy question to answer, but when you look at all of the pros and cons of both types of cars, it becomes much more difficult to decide. To help you get the information you need to make your decision, here are the pros and cons of electric cars vs gasoline cars, including some scenarios where one type of car will be more useful than another.

Which type do you prefer?

Electric cars are cleaner than gasoline cars, which means they produce less pollution that can negatively impact air quality. However, unlike with diesel or natural gas-powered vehicles, there is no way to power electric cars using renewable energy. If renewable energy becomes more readily available this may change in the future, but right now it’s not a practical option.

This means that electric car drivers will likely be using energy produced by fossil fuels–something many people are trying to avoid these days. But while fuel is an issue with electric cars, overall they do offer many advantages when compared to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles. First of all, electric cars don’t use gasoline at all so there are no emissions from burning fossil fuels in the vehicle engine itself.
It would be hard to list all the pros and cons of either electric cars or gasoline cars, but here are some general thoughts.

• Gas cars may emit carbon dioxide into the air which harms plant life.
• Electric cars require energy from a power grid, which still emits carbon dioxide.
• Gas is less expensive than electricity, so initially, an electric car will cost more than a gas car in fuel costs. However, as technology advances, it is likely that these prices will become comparable.
• Neither type of car creates emissions when it’s not running (at idle), which means that for short trips where you don’t need your vehicle for long periods of time it might make sense to take public transportation or ride-sharing services.
• Some people have concerns about how charging an electric car takes hours longer than filling up a tank with gas.

Final thoughts

Some advantages to electric cars are that they typically cost less to maintain than gasoline-powered cars. In addition, the oil needed for an electric car does not need changing as often as a regular car and you do not have to take it in for service. The disadvantages to electric cars are that they are typically only cheaper than gasoline if you charge the car at home and if your monthly expenses for electricity don’t exceed what it would be for gas.

If you don’t live near a place where you can charge up, then it will likely cost more money over time. There is also the drawback that charging up requires time – anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours – which won’t work when commuting through traffic during rush hour.
