Disadvantages of Electric Vehicles

Cost of New EVs - Prices are coming down, but like for like, they are more expensive than petrol vehicles to buy new, but cheaper to run
Fewer Recharge Points - With fewer places to charge your EV than petrol vehicles, long trips may need to be planned in advance. The good news is more and more recharge points are being added every week
Driving Range - Most of today's EVs have a range between 50 and 300 kilometers between charges
Time to Charge - It may be inconvenient to wait five or six hours for your EV to fully charge, but quick charges up to 80% of your battery may only take around 40 or 50 minutes
Home Charging Point - Depending on where you live, you may need to install a charging point in your home
Quieter to Run - although also an advantage, it may lead to accidents with unexpecting pedestrians or cyclists
Peak Electric Costs - Charging your EV during peak electricity hours may push costs up, but off peak costs are significantly cheaper than using petrol

Common Electric Vehicle Questions

Are electric cars cheaper to run than petrol cars?

The cost of electricity varies with each provider, however studies (in the USA) have shown that you should expect to pay around a third of the costs per kilometer for electricity than with petrol. Remember that peak electricity costs will eat into this cost saving. If you generate your electricity yourself via solar, it could be free.

How far can an electric car travel before a recharge?

Distances are getting better as the technology advances, but you can expect anything between 50km and 300km depending on the electric car model you choose. Do your research before you buy.

How can I find out where to charge my EV near me?

A Google Maps search for EV charging stations will show you an updated list of charging points in your area. Myelectriccar.com.au has an interactive map of Australia for you to see EV coverage in your area. Once you have your EV, check the SatNav or download a mobile app for everyday coverage.

How long does it take to charge an EV?

A super fast charge will take about 45 minutes, when you are out and about. This will give you about an 80% charge of your battery. When charging at home for a 100% charge overnight will generally take about 5 or 6 hours. Check your prefered vehicle specifications for details on that particular model as times may vary.
