When it comes to weighing our comfort against the environmental damage we cause with it, we, as mere mortals, opt for our personal interests. This is what we have been doing for decades by deliberately ignoring the damage that our cars produce with the emission of gases. We are pro-environmentalists as long as we are not forced to give up our well-being. we care for the environment if it does not involve great effort on our part.

However, both things can be reconciled, taking care of the environment and at the same time taking care of our pocket: electric vehicles (EVs) are a great option for those who really want to help reverse climate change, because of their zero emissions of polluting gases.

What is the difference?

To give you an idea of the basic differences, the table below explains the main advantages and disadvantages of gas and electric models, warning that although at first, the EV may seem much more expensive, the economy and environmental benefits will be seen in the long term (the fueling at home can save an average of $800 to $1000 per year; maintenance and repair costs are half than for gasoline-powered vehicles: the average dollar savings over the lifetime of the vehicle is about $4.600, plus EVs incentives in several states).
