Why EVs are Important?
With the increase in the number of ICE vehicles running every day, pollution is also rising. It’s massively affecting the earth’s environment and degrading overall human health. So, people are switching to EVs and taking further steps towards a greener future.
Here are the benefits of using electric vehicles instead of vehicles running on fuels:
-> Minimum to Zero Tailpipe Emissions: EVs produce zero to negligible exhaust emissions and do not release harmful gases into the environment. Hence, they are beneficial to use, especially in urban areas where traffic congestion leads to poor air quality.
-> Less Noise Pollution: EVs produce less noise as compared to traditional vehicles.
-> Better Energy Efficiency: EVs are more energy efficient than conventional vehicles. They convert about 59-62% of electrical energy into motion, while ICE vehicles convert only about 17-21% of fuel energy into motion.
-> Other Economic Benefits: EVs can drive capital investment and infrastructure development, which can create immediate economic benefits and long-term growth.
-> Less Dependency on Non-renewable Energy: As these vehicles run on electricity, EV owners aren’t required to stay dependent on petrol or similar non-renewable resources.
