Electric vehicles have come a long way in a short space of time.
Their main criticisms are that they’re expensive and difficult to charge, but that is definitely changing.
EVs are getting smarter, more stylish and more affordable than ever before.
Add in rising fuel costs, and it’s easy to see why more and more people are choosing an EV over petrol or diesel-powered cars.
With improved battery performance and some impressive new designs, EVs are worth a second look.
Explore some of the reasons why EVs are increasing in popularity, even with those who were previously skeptical.
Battery tech is constantly improving
‘Range anxiety’ has often been a sticking point for people against EVs.
The constant worry about not having enough miles to get home puts people off, but that problem is becoming less and less.
Battery tech is improving constantly, including ABM’s pouch cell tabs, helping to boost performance.
With many cars now packing 300+ miles on a full charge, it’s hard to argue the case for poor range, unless you’re going to be driving up and down the M6 every day.
Charging is much more convenient
It’s easier than ever to charge an EV.
Home chargers are always the most convenient option (charge overnight, drive in the morning), but you can find chargers everywhere these days.
From supermarket car parks to high-speed chargers at petrol stations and services, you won’t have to travel far to find a good charger.
EV designs are upping their game
Another big criticism was that EVs just weren’t making a splash design-wise.
But that’s all changing now that manufacturers are investing more time and money into their EVs.
Some of the best luxury EV models have designs and features that will impress even the most traditional car enthusiasts.
They are also packed with features that make them incredibly cool to drive.
And let’s not forget the safety features that are making the most of technology to make cars even safer to drive.
Running costs make them worth it
Electric vehicles are a very cost-effective way to get around.
With petrol costs continuing to rise due to world events, electric is a much more affordable alternative.
When you charge your vehicle at home, on an EV-friendly tariff, you could be looking at less than £5 a charge.
People are embracing greener energy too – just look at electric bike take-up.
It will only be a matter of time before solar-powered chargers become commonplace, making it even more affordable to plug in and get on the road.
Attitudes towards EVs are changing quickly, and it’s easy to see why.
Better battery technology, more convenient charging and better affordability are making them much more appealing to drivers.
There are still some challenges to overcome, of course, but the brains behind the vehicles are certainly tackling them quickly.
With every year that passes, EVs are becoming a serious option to consider, bringing convenience and practicality, as well as a greener approach to driving.
