Chances are good that whenever you drive, you notice a fair number of electric vehicles out on the road. We bet, however, that you’re still mostly seeing gas-powered cars. There’s a reason for that.
In fact, there are three reasons. Here we go over why vehicles that run on gas – like Mazda cars – are superior to their electric counterparts.
1. Cost
Let’s start with the obvious: Electric cars are expensive. While costs have gone down, for the most part they are still much pricier than gas-powered vehicles.
Sale price aside, there’s another expense that many people tend to forget about: home chargers. To keep a battery charged, having a charging station installed in a home is vital, and these can cost well over $1,000.
2. Selection
New electric cars are hitting the market regularly now, but there are still many more vehicles available that utilize gas. This means that if you’re looking at EVs, you won’t find a huge variety. Plus, it can be hard to find pre-owned models, as most of them are very new.
3. Fuel
Sure, charging up a battery may be cheaper than filling a gas tank. But what if you can’t find a public charging station and your battery has little charge left? You could be in trouble. Locating a gas station, however, is rarely difficult.
And, if you do run out of gas somewhere, you could always figure out a way to get a gas can and add gas to your car. If your electric vehicle runs out of charge, you’ll need to have it towed.
