The Biggest Planets In The Universe

 Hy guys, this post is all about the conditions that one should consider before buying an EV. Here, let us take case of Indians on what problems they face and what are the reasons that you should think before switching to an EV. 

Are you thinking "Is this the right time to buy an EV ?" then you should read the factors listed below.

 All the facts and date are provided to you in a concise manner so that you don't have to go through many websites for your answers.

Some of the major issues include:

1. Cost :

The biggest concern when buying an EV is cost. However, there are many federal and state incentives. But the common stipulation in all policies is that the incentive only applies to a certain number of vehicles, and if you remove the discounts and incentives, the same EV that seemed worth buying suddenly becomes out of reach. This shows that once we pass a certain saturation point, buying an electric car is no longer cheap. 

As cost plays in important role for Indian buyers, this concerns the EV market in India.

2. New to the manufacturer :

During the EV revolution in India both the technology and the company are just entering the market and the products they make may be new/uncomfortable with real customers for the first time. And it was almost impossible to make such a complex product the perfect car for the customer from the start, and buyers predictably faced many problems.

Thus, trying out EV is one of the major factor that one experience in India. And this is the major reason which cause potential buyer to backout from even trying to buy EV.

3. Lack of infrastructure :

 
Poor infrastructure is one of the most pressing issues for those considering electrification. Poor infrastructure includes not only the lack of charging stations, but also the lack of suitable charging stations at home.

4. Range covered by EVs : 

Many companies offer insane ranges like 200, 180, 150 for electric cars in ideal conditions, but in real conditions 150 km is a dream. With one condition, a range of 100 km should be satisfactory.

This mental pressure issue is due to the lack of charging infrastructure that is improving day by day, but there are still many improvements to be made in this area.

5. Difference in standard of Infrastructure:

Lack of standardization is a thorn in the Indian electric vehicle industry. Harm the current and future of the EV market. Since it is impossible to build a specific charging station that can charge all types of electric vehicles, every second electric scooter will have its own charging port, which will affect the charging station infrastructure.

           Also, the lack of standardization has reduced the adoption rate of electric vehicles in social-based communities. Every EV manufacturers has its own charging port, which poses a hurdle to building a proper charging ecosystem. This causes confusion to whether to choose a charging station for their use.

6. Heating of EVs :

Temperature issue in EVs are the major concern of common buyers. Comparing EVs with general Electronic device will give you a slight idea on heating conditions. As overusing any device will result in heating that is applied to EVs too. But simply saying this is not simple, EVs/cars are meant to be tough, Heating in EVs are reported in very few cases which can be considered as exceptions.

Temperature can seriously affect EV battery performance, so EVs are not suitable for regions that are too cold or too hot . The battery performs best when used in the temperature range of neither too hot nor too cold.

7. Lack of Education :

People know how to handle their oil based cars and getting help for something is easy, EVs lies under different segment which require more knowledge on fixing issues and demands more maintenance. 

EVs have a higher tendency to require assistance thus proper knowledge and education should be given to the owners.

8. Range coverage reduces performance :

EV manufacturer clams a certain range for their vehicle. But, this range is not that you can achieve through normal usage.

To meet the ideal range, people should have to take certain measures like drive at slow speed, special mode to use AC, etc.

This makes EVs a second choice of travelers over traditional oil Based cars.

9. Are EVs really environmental friendly ? 

Almost half of EVs price you pay is for the battery itself. EV uses a series of Lithium batteries.

Producing these  batteries requires natural resources not limited to desal based power. 

Thus it requires more resources  to manufacture an EV then it saves in its service of almost  5 years.

10. Conclusion :  

EVs are constantly evolving, this is a good sign as conventional oil driven cars are bound to vanish. EVs provide a better solution to that.

Constantly upgrading and making better products result in more popularity among the common.

In spite of the problems mentioned above, EVs provide us the best alternative to switch to environmentally friendly vehicles.

Weather they are completely environmentally or not, it is up to you to decide.
