What features do gasoline-powered cars have that electric cars do not?
I really want to make the switch to an electric car, but I’m worried about spending all that money just to have a car that doesn’t work with my lifestyle. What features do gas-powered cars have that electric cars don’t?

An
electric car
is a great choice for someone looking to be more eco-friendly and save money on fuel, but switching over to one isn’t going to be a completely unnoticeable transition. For example, gas-powered cars have many more mechanical parts than electric cars. Overall, this means that they tend to require more repairs and more frequent maintenance over time.
On the other hand, perhaps the biggest advantage that gas-powered cars have over electric cars is faster fueling times and more mileage from a single refill. EVs can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 12 hours to recharge, and on average will only last about 200 miles or so before needing a recharge.
Whether you drive an electric or a gas-powered car, everyone loves saving money. Download the
