What are the pros and cons of owning electric vehicles?
There are many pros and cons of owning an electric vehicle, and depending on your goals will ultimately impact your decision if an electric car is worth investing in.
The obvious pros of owning and operating an electric car is they emit less greenhouse gas (meaning they’re better for the environment than petrol cars), and they are also cheaper to run. On top of this, they often have lower ongoing and maintenance costs, are quieter to drive and usually feature high quality technology.
On the other hand, electric cars can be more expensive to purchase. The range of a battery can be far shorter than a petrol engine, and it can take a couple of hours to fully recharge a battery.
What are the benefits of driving an electric car?

How do I replace an electric vehicle battery?
Just like a petrol car, electric vehicle batteries may need to be replaced while you own it. However, unlike a petrol car, electric car batteries are huge and can be up to the full length of the car, therefore it requires a mechanic to make the change.
Do battery electric cars have a regular 12V battery?
Electric cars do have a regular 12V battery as found in a regular petrol car, which powers the headlights, indicators, brake lights, windscreen wipers, audio and other electronic features.
