Electric Cars Awe...
You know, I’ve thought about electric cars and what it could mean for us. The fact that it could entirely be battery-powered and not need any form of fuel at all is just bae. Of course, the only fuel it would require is electricity, because we’d have to charge it. And then we’d need chargers powerful enough to ensure that the battery fills up pretty quickly.
The bigger the car, the more ambitious the capabilities, and the more powerful the battery would be. Right now, the battery of a small automatic car can power a number of home appliances. Now, you can imagine just how powerful a fully electric car will be.
Are there benefits to this? Well, it all depends on how you look at it. While our reliance on fuel will be reduced greatly, we really won’t have many issues. Of course, there will be charging spots scattered all over the area. People will open shops where you can quickly recharge your cars. Just like your regular gas station, you’d drive, recharge, and drive back out. Life goes on.
Hell, I can even imagine that there will be a sort of power bank for it. This will come in handy in case your battery runs out when you’re in the middle of nowhere and you have no idea where you’d recharge your car. So, a spare battery would be good to have in the car. Once the original battery dies, you promptly switch up. As I said, this will reduce greatly our reliance on fuel, and the dangers that it poses due to how volatile it is.
However, I can also think of a few demerits to the case. Our electricity bill will skyrocket like mad! Once electric cars become mainstream, people will begin to install car chargers in their garages. So, every time they get home, they’ll simply recharge it themselves. However, this would be a heavy load and it would reflect significantly on the power bills. Yeah… so paying it off would be a major thing. But then, since we won’t be spending so much money on fuel, it could be a welcome development.
And then, batteries spoil, especially when they have been used for a long time. The more you recharge it, the weaker it gets. I’m sure we’ve all had to work with faulty batteries sometime in the past. Just like when your phone says your battery is at 100%, but after five minutes of use, you find it drop down to 20%. This is a problem we’d also have to face. Thankfully, such problems don’t just happen, as long as we’re observant, it’s something that can be fixed well ahead of time. Before it gets to the critical stage of dying when you’re smack in the middle of the express road.
So yeah, there are a number of merits and demerits to using electric cars, just as there are currently with cars that run on petrol. This doesn’t mean that I won’t get to use it when it becomes mainstream, I definitely would. However, if there is one kind of car I wouldn’t drive is one powered by this CNG gas that I’ve been hearing. The stories I’ve been hearing so far are downright scary. Well, I guess we’ll all find out with time.
Yeah. You are right. It will definitely reduce the use of fuel and then I believe that the price will drop drastically.

Omo... we can only hope.
The electric car can be a good option but not suitable for your country as there is already a shortage of power supply. It will increase the demand for power supply in your country and everyone may need to suffer for it.
Nah... believe me, we don't have that kind of power problem. We can easily create power for ourselves. if the government refuses to give us steady power, we'll simply give ourselves. Yeah, it might be more expensive, but it's definitely not impossible.
