Why The Automotive Future is Electric

With a growing concern for the environment and limited natural resources, a sustainable and clean future is deeply linked to the electrification of our cars. It also comes with a lot of benefits, as listed here:

Lower Running Costs +−

The combination of fewer moving parts and an extensive list of components makes a combustion engine model more expensive to run than an electric vehicle, which is easier to maintain and electricity is cheaper than fuel.

Performance And Driving Experience +−

Electric motors deliver instant torque for smooth, silent and responsive acceleration, giving EVs a refined and engaging driving experience.

Environmentally Friendly +−

With zero tailpipe emissions, electric vehicles help reduce air pollution and your overall carbon footprint.

Government Incentives +−

Buyers can benefit from tax rebates, lower registration fees and other state incentives that make EV ownership more affordable.

Easy Home Charging +−

Charge your EV overnight from the comfort of your home and start every day with a full battery.

How to Maintain Your EV's Battery

Avoid Frequent Fast Charges

Frequent fast charging may have a negative impact on a battery's health over time, so avoid using high amounts of current too often.

Control Level of Charge

Having the battery percentage dip close to zero, or charging it to 100 per cent, are both bad for an EV. These extremes can reduce the battery's capacity to store electricity and even drain faster over time.

Avoid Exposure to Hot Temperatures

Do not leave your EV parked under the hot sun for long durations. Doing so can expose your electric vehicle to extreme hot temperatures and can potentially damage the battery.

Check Battery Coolant

To ensure that the battery is always working within the preset safe operating temperature, it is necessary to check the battery coolant level at regular intervals.

Parking for Longer Periods

When parked for an extended period of time (more than a month), maintain a charging range of 40 to 60% to safeguard the battery's health.

Pros and cons of electric cars

An honest look at the upsides - and the trade-offs - of going electric.

EV First

Tata Harrier EV

Weigh it up, then drive electric.

Pros

Lower running costs

Electricity is far cheaper than petrol or diesel, cutting your daily commute cost dramatically.

Zero tailpipe emissions

EVs produce no exhaust gases, helping reduce pollution in cities.

Quiet and smooth

Instant torque and silent motors deliver a refined driving experience.

Low maintenance

Fewer moving parts mean fewer trips to the service centre.

Cons

Lack of EV infrastructure

Undertaking unplanned long trips can cause range anxiety thanks to the lack of proper charging infrastructure.

High battery costs

Replacing a lithium-ion battery, which is available in most electric cars, usually tends to be an expensive affair.

Long charge times

An EV even with fast charging, takes a lot longer to juice up the battery than it would take to refuel your car.

Higher purchase costs

EVs tend to be more expensive than their ICE counterparts, majorly because of the price of their battery pack(s).
