* Acceleration
* No gears - acceleration is linear
* No chance of diesel fumes in your cabin (like with my VW Sharan)
* Lots of tax rebates, subsidies, depending on where you live
* Charge at home
* More room! (No bulky drivetrain)
* Less maintenance, less things to go wrong
* Lower fuel costs
* Simpler to own and drive
- your-nanny 8y agoI agree with the list except the one about fuel costs. that might be true today, but price will probably have to rise too meet increased demand.

- cyrildorsaz 8y agoThe opposite will actually happen. The rise of renewable energies will decrease energy cost dramatically. In some countries solar generation is already cheaper .
- your-nanny 8y agoenergy is highly regulated market, so I dunno, but in general, increased demand increases price, unless supply grows to meet demand (and there is a competitive market to drive down prices). So more EVs, more demand for electricity, and less demand for gasoline, so former might become more expensive, and the latter cheaper. what actually will happen is going to depend on long term investment decisions, changes in tech, and the specifics of industry regulation (which I'm mostly ignorant of)
- glogla 8y agoCharge at home if you live in a house. Sadly, for people with apartments, electric cars are super impractical, until most residential streets include charging stations.
