Electric Car Buying Guide: Planning to shift to EV to combat pollution? 5 things to know before you buy

Electric Car Buying Guide: We can all agree that electric vehicles are the way of the future for transportation and that they can only be good for the environment. Reduced pollution translates into cleaner emissions, and reduced pollution results in a greener world. We have seen how badly the pollution has been rising in major cities across our country, especially Delhi and NCR regions. Thus, when it comes to environmentally responsible transportation, electric vehicles are crucial. Only a small number of electric vehicles are available for purchase in India right now. So if you are planning to get your hands on an EV then in this article, we will give you 5 points that you must consider before you get one.

Electric Car Buying Guide: 5 things to consider

1. Specs

Numerous electric motor and battery pack configurations are available for electric cars. It is imperative that you select an electric vehicle that meets your needs in terms of specifications. Driving an electric car with inadequate electricity might be annoying. Examine the electric car's technical specifications carefully before making a purchase.

2. Charging Infrastructure

The nation's infrastructure for charging devices is still in its early stages. One of the main problems for EV users is that charging facilities are not as common as petrol outlets. Major metropolises currently have sufficient charging stations, but conditions elsewhere are different. Therefore, take this into consideration before choosing to buy an electric vehicle in India.

3. After-sales support

Depending on the manufacturer's after-sales service and support, your experience as an owner of an electric vehicle can either be positive or negative. These days, the majority of EV producers install a wall charger at your preferred location in addition to providing battery packs with several years of guarantee. The electric vehicle will be serviced by qualified experts at the service centres. Therefore, for a positive ownership experience, always choose a brand that provides strong after-sales assistance.

4. Maintenance Cost

The EV might not function effectively without regular maintenance. Because they have fewer moving components than other cars, electric vehicles are typically fairly simple to maintain. However, the costs of repairs in the event of a failure can be high. In addition, compared to a regular car, spare parts are highly costly. In addition, there are very few mechanics that work on EVs, so any servicing or repairs must be handled by the manufacturer.

5. Energy Consumption

To compare an electric vehicle's efficiency to a regular car, you must take into account how much electricity it uses. The expense of operating an electric car is also determined by its energy usage. In general, electric cars are far less expensive to operate than cars with internal combustion engines.
