How are electric cars and gas vehicles the same?
I've heard many about the differences between electric cars and gas vehicles, but how are they the same?

Great question. Though electric cars and gas vehicles are very different, their purpose and physicality are some things that make them the same.
Most people new to the world of
electric cars
probably won’t be able to tell the difference between an electric car and a gas-fueled vehicle by simply looking at them. Both vehicle types are made with the same industry expectations, such as: being shaped to resist the wind. They also share standard physical features like:
Mirrors
Indicators
Wheels
Pedals
Light position
To name a few. In addition to the car’s structure, electric vehicles still serve the same purpose as traditional cars. They’re both intended to transport passengers and goods.
Even a lot of functions performed by the owner aren’t very different. Consider washing your car—the method would be the same on both vehicles.
Still, there are a lot of adjustments to be made when switching from a gas car to an electric vehicle. One of those changes will be how your car insurance is affected.
No worries,
