ELECTRIC CARS

The advantages of buying an electric car can be divided into these seven: sustainable mobility, silence at the wheel, economic maintenance, great acceleration, aid for the acquisition (savings) and exemption from paying road tax and parking areas

OCU experts have compared the cost of an electric vehicle with its combustion hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions to offer the exact number of kilometers from which the purchase of an electric vehicle is profitable: it is 100,000 km.

What you should know before buying an electric car

Convenience and comfort. One of the great advantages of electric cars over combustion cars is that they are very quiet in their movement, due to the absence of moving parts, without explosions in the combustion process and without an exhaust system.

In general, electric cars move with an average consumption of between 15 and 22 kWh / 100 km. Therefore, a battery with a capacity of 24 kWh should allow to travel about 150 real km and a 30 kWh battery about 200 real km.

But, as a general rule, the average life of an electric car battery is around 3,000 full charge cycles, or approximately 8 years of useful life if it is recharged daily.
