Why Should We Choose Electric Vehicles?

Internal combustion engine vehicles have been part of our lives for many years. These vehicles have made our lives much easier and positioned themselves at the centre of our lives.

When they first appeared, people did not see or did not want to see the harmful aspects of these vehicles because they met our needs to a great extent. Because at that time there were no alternatives to these vehicles.

Later, various regulations were made for these harms (such as adding DPF or Adblue systems to diesel vehicles), but these regulations were not sufficient to prevent the damage.

Today, a very important development has taken place to prevent this damage: electric cars.

Why should we replace internal combustion vehicles with electric ones?

There are many reasons for us to leave internal combustion engine vehicles and switch to electric cars.

These vehicles do not only provide us with economic advantages; they benefit us in many ways.

The reasons I will mention below are perhaps the most important reasons that will guide us toward electric cars:

These vehicles run very quietly: Because there is no internal combustion engine in these vehicles, there is no vibration while the vehicle is running, so the vehicle does not make much noise while running.

This provides us with a more enjoyable drive and significantly reduces noise pollution.

These vehicles do not pollute the environment: When these vehicles run, no combustion occurs, thus preventing the spread of greenhouse gases and harmful gases. This offers us a cleaner environment.

These vehicles are more powerful: These vehicles are as powerful as other vehicles and are even more powerful in terms of acceleration.

They also use kinetic energy generated during braking to charge the battery to a certain level.

These vehicles require less maintenance: The electric motor in these vehicles contains 90 percent fewer components compared to internal combustion engines, so maintenance is easier.

These vehicles make it easy for us to save money: A diesel-engine vehicle consumes approximately 6 litres of fuel per 100 km. Electric vehicles consume approximately 16 kWh of energy per 100 km.

Considering an annual drive of 20,000 km, a 20,000 km drive in an electric vehicle costs an average of 7,000 Turkish lira, while a 20,000 km drive in a diesel vehicle costs an average of 23,000 Turkish lira.

Thus, it is possible to save approximately 16,000 Turkish lira per year.

In short, electric vehicles offer us a quieter environment, cleaner nature, a more powerful driving experience and economic savings.
