What makes electric cars so energy efficient?
I’m convinced that electric vehicles are the future, but what makes electric cars so energy efficient?
Chanice Boyd · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Conventional vehicles must burn fuel to create heat and convert that heat into motion. Electric cars are so energy efficient because they directly convert electricity into movement.
Aside from that,
electric cars
are known for their excellent performance, low operating costs, and reduced emissions. Boy, do they live up to the hype. These exceptional automobiles are between 60% - 100% efficient. Stand-out features like regenerative breaking technology that redirect lost energy into breaking are a part of what makes them so efficient.Other factors that make electric vehicles efficient:
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
- Reduced energy waste.
- Lower household fuel costs.
- Efficient charging.
- Economic benefits.
