Why in the world are you still driving a petrol or diesel car?

Seriously, in this day and age, sticking to internal combustion engines feels like using a typewriter in the age of laptops. Sure, there’s a nostalgic charm, but let’s be real – the benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) are through the roof. Especially if you live in a city with decent infrastructure.

The Simplicity of Maintenance

First off, EVs are a dream to maintain. No more oil changes, no more timing belts, no more exhaust systems to worry about. An electric motor has fewer moving parts than a traditional engine, which means less can go wrong. It’s as simple as that. My EVs are super low maintenance – I charge it, drive it, and forget about it. No garage visits, no headaches.

Range Anxiety is a Thing of the Past

Remember when people used to panic about running out of juice in the middle of nowhere? Range anxiety? Yeah, that’s pretty much a non-issue now. Modern EVs boast ranges that comfortably cover your daily commutes and weekend getaways. And with charging stations popping up like mushrooms after rain, you’ll rarely find yourself in a pinch.
