What are the disadvantages of electric cars?

While electric cars are great, they do have certain disadvantages. 

Frequent charging – Most cars have a range of 100 km on a single charge. That might be enough for inter city travel, but if you want to go on a long drive, you are at a disadvantage. 

Silent – This is an issue with all-electric vehicles. They’re completely silent. People can’t hear you coming, making them unsafe to a certain degree. 

Expensive – EVs are expensive. You might have some cost savings in the long run, but the initial expenditure is high. 

Charging points – Apart from your own home, charging points are few and far between. It could get logistically difficult if you own an electric vehicle to charge whenever you need to. 

Battery repairs/replacement can be costly – Since they are at the heart of an EV, and responsible for powering the car, batteries tend to be one of the costliest components in an EV. While the frequency might not be too high, batteries may break down or need repairs, and this costs a fair bit. 

Low choice – You don’t have much choice regarding electric cars. There might be a few models in the market, but your choice ends there. You have to wait for a bit as electric cars become more mainstream, and more models will be launched.
