According to new reports, driving Electric Vehicles rather than fossil fuel-powered automobiles reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions to half. The research also suggests that shifting to an electronic vehicle is a great way to save the planet from pollution. Electric vehicles are the plug-in automobiles that run with an electric motor. Rechargeable batteries power them. So, whenever you need to recharge the batteries; just find a charging station and go-ahead. Most of the electric vehicle owners prefer to install a charging station at their home. It gives them ease of using. However, public places such as cinema halls, shopping malls, and stations will receive EV charging stations soon.

Most of the electric vehicles run for 100 to 150 miles before the batteries completely drain. But engineers predict that batteries of electric vehicles can last for 400 miles in a decade.

Electric vehicles also accelerate faster than a fossil fuel-powered vehicle. EVs are more eco-friendly vehicles than petrol-fueled vehicles. Because EVs have no exhaust emissions and emit no pollutants. Longer battery life, lowest price, and the number of accessible charging points are the factors that persuade vehicle owners to make the switch.

The effect of an EV now is in full force. With established brands committing to offer new and a wide range of affordable electric cars in the future, vehicles running with petrol and diesel are seeing sales falter. Prices of EVs are falling, models are diversifying and this all because of increased investment in manufacturing EVs & rolling out charging points at suitable locations.
