One of the most common reasons why people look for electric cars in car showrooms is the desire to buy an economical vehicle. Several fuel crises have already shown that driving a fossil fuel car can be an unpleasant surprise when you have to stop at a petrol station with an empty fuel tank again. Even Americans who are crazy about Tesla electric cars and enjoy much cheaper fuel privileges than Europeans use simple math here: if one mile (1.6 kilometers) with an electric car costs about 4.4 US cents (3.7 euro cents) , petrol for the same distance already costs about 10 US cents (8.4 euro cents).

Fuel costs are not the only item that allows electric car users to save money. Citroen, whose range of models includes electric models of various sizes, from the compact e-C4 to the nine-seater e-Spacetourer, emphasizes that electric car owners spend less on vehicle maintenance. Because there are far fewer maintenance-free parts under the hood that could break, the electric car user also doesn’t have to think about changing the oil, changing the glow plugs, or rusting the exhaust system.

A silence that does not waste time

One of the most exciting things appreciated by any electric car driver is the constant silence even after depressing the accelerator pedal. It is possible to assess the sounds that disappear when the internal combustion engine is running and the exhaust system vibrates. Ergonomics experts meanwhile point out that quietness in the car is one of the keys to a more enjoyable and less tiring trip, because instead of listening to a roaring engine, the driver and passengers can enjoy conversations or simply listen to their favorite music without additional background noise. In the compact French car, for example, an atypical advanced hydraulic cushion system in the suspension comes as an extra help.

Interestingly, modern electric cars overturn misconceptions about time consumption in charging stations. At first glance, charging may seem time consuming, and in the eyes of potential electric car buyers, this is one of the disadvantages. However, research shows that the opposite is true. If a visit to a petrol station needs to be on the agenda and planned, the electric car can be charged at home from the most common socket at night while the car is not in use.
–
Studies show that about 97 percent of electric car users have enough to charge their car at home and at work. Batteries charged in this way are enough to allow the car to go about its daily business for 2-3 days. So, just like a mobile phone, an electric car is charged at home and there is no need to spend time searching for a charging station.

This is one of the main definitions of modern comfort – the car has already become a smartphone or computer, the only maintenance of which is battery charging.

More driving pleasure

The specifics of electric cars give them the ability to reach the city speed or 50 – 60 km / h not only fast, but also evenly. And not only that. In electric cars, the maximum torque is felt immediately after the accelerator is pressed, while the battery built into the underside of the car provides a low center of gravity, which guarantees better stability on the road.
