Misconceptions About Electric Vehicles

Why The Automotive Future Is Electric

As the name suggests electric cars run on electricity that is stored in the batteries. Compared to its ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle counterparts, EVs are quieter and emit fewer pollutants. Here are its key features

Lower Running Cost

Upfront electric cars cost more than regular cars, however, it has a low running and maintenance cost.

Easy To Drive

Electric cars are very easy to drive as they do not have any gears which the driver has to worry about. Better handling, responsiveness and comfort are offered due to its lower center of gravity. The electric engine offers smooth acceleration and deceleration which leads to a better driving experience.

Eco-Friendly

By choosing an electric car, an owner does his part to save and be gentle on the planet by completely eliminating carbon emissions. Unlike ICE cars, electric cars run on 100% renewable energy and they do not emit exhaust fumes and greenhouse gasses.

Convenient Charging At Home

Like most electronic devices, electric cars are super easy to charge. While it might take longer to refuel an electric car, some basic pre-planning will mitigate the impact. Most of the time changing is done overnight at or near the owner's home. And with access to rapid chargers (100kW) the entire process gets completed in a few minutes.

Low Maintenance Cost

EVs might be expensive to purchase, however, their overall cost of maintenance and service is comparatively low compared to its ICE counterpart. Why? Electric cars feature fewer components, so no regular oiling of parts required and the chances of wear and tear is less.

Spacious Cabin And Better Storage Options

Electric cars have less moving parts compared to conventional cars and therefore give manufacturers an opportunity to convert those spaces into storage areas. Plus there is an added advantage of a more spacious cabin. With no engine unit, most EVs come with added storage space under the hood. Also, the e-motor and batteries do not take up a lot of space compared to the mechanical units present in an ICE car.

EV Charging Infrastructure

There has been an increased focus by the government on enabling working charging stations throughout the country. This will have the dual benefit of increased access to charging infrastructure and enabling daytime charging.

What Are Electric Vehicles Types?

Good And Bad Things About EV

  • Advantages
  • Disadvantages
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint

    Electric vehicles emit zero CO2 and other greenhouse gasses, making them much more eco-friendly.

  • Low Cost Of Ownership And Easy Maintenance

    With limited moving parts electric vehicles do not require much maintenance, also not many components require replacement even when used over a substantial period of time.

  • Top-notch Performance

    Electric motors react much quicker than mechanical engines, thus offering more agility and torque.

  • Noise-free And Spacious Cabin

    Electric cars use way less components compared to ICE cars this allows them to offer a spacious cabin and several storage options.

  • Developing Charging Station Infrastructure

    EV charging infrastructure is still in the early phase and so it might be difficult to recharge the car outside home, especially when traveling through rural areas and on long-distance trips.

  • Limited Range

    An ICE vehicle offers much more driving range than an electric car which is a major issue on a long-distance trip.

  • Charging Takes Time

    Recharging an electric car takes way more time then adding fuel to an ICE vehicle. While it takes just 5 minutes to re-fuel a conventional car, even with the fastest charging station a minimum 30 minutes time is required.

  • Expensive Battery Replacement

    An electric car’s battery pack would not require more than one replacement in the vehicle's lifetime; however, if and when the need arises it will be an expensive affair.

Switch to EV and reduce CO2 emission by an estimated 500 kg/year which is equivalent to planting 10 new trees.

How To Maintain Your EV’s Battery

  • Avoid Exposure To High Temperatures

    In order to keep the temperature under control for optimal efficiency, the automated temperature control system installed in the EV will work and drain the batteries.

  • Do Not Charge The Batteries 100%

    It is never a good idea to fully charge the batteries as it affects the overall lifespan of the unit. Most EVs these days come fitted with a battery management system that helps avoid extreme state of charge.

  • Avoid Using Fast Chargers

    While fast charging offers great convenience when the battery is about to die, doing it frequently will strain the battery and wane them faster than usual.

  • Maintain Optimal Battery State During Long Idle States

    Experts do not recommend leaving the EV idle for long with a fully charged or empty battery charge, as it will cause degradation. Here a timed charger will come in handy.

  • Battery-efficient Driving

    EVs battery life can be enhanced by driving in a battery-efficient way which includes regenerative braking, controlled acceleration, and right tyre pressure.

Why is electric car considered environmentally friendly?

Because it does not use conventional engine that emit exhaust emissions from the combustion process that drives the piston, to run the car.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

Depending on battery capacity and the capability of the charger device. Currently, the fastest charger is 30 minutes to reach 80 percent of capacity. But the producers are committed to trim the recharge time in the future.

Why electric cars cannot be mass-produced in Indonesia

Due to various things. Starting from government regulations on electric vehicles, production equipment readiness, availability of infrastructure to support electric cars are still scarce. And the most important thing is, Indonesia is still not familiar with vehicle electrification. This will soon change due to government push the automotive industry toward electrification.
