ELECTRIC CARS V/S PETROL ENGINE CARS

This has always been a part of the debate that which is better petrol or electric engine if you also want to know which is better than you are in the right place.

First, let us know the pros and cons of petrol engine:-

Pros

1. A petrol engine packs a powerful punch in a small size.
2. Petrol engines also have cheaper parts, making after-sales services rather affordable.
3. Petrol engines are also quieter and smoother than their diesel alternatives.

Cons

1. Petrol engines tend to clog up quickly and require maintenance more frequently.
2. Petrol is also subject to impurities, and if not purchased from a known pump can damage not only the engine but also the fuel pump and injection system.
3. Also, the petrol engine is toxic to our environment and releases many harmful byproducts such as greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Secondly, we will know the pros and cons of electric cars:-

Pros

1. They are better for the environment.
2. Unlike petrol or gasoline, electricity can be a renewable resource by means of solar, hydropower, and a few other renewable prime movers.
3. There are tax credits available for owners of electric cars.
4. They are quieter than gas vehicles.
5. They require less expensive and less frequent maintenance.

Cons

1. Electric cars have a shorter range than gas-powered cars, which means with the full capacity charge of battery they can be driven within 100km only, while a petrol engine depending on the size of the tank can be a drive for approximately more than 300km.
2. Recharging the battery takes time. Filling up a gasoline tank takes about 3–4 minutes but on the contrary electric cars take as little as 30minutes and or more than 12hours to fully charge up.
3. They are usually more expensive as compared to petrol cars.
4. There are not too many options in the model while buying an electric car.
