Content: 2. The Rise in Popularity
Electric vehicles are not a new invention, but the technology behind them (specifically, batteries) has only recently made it a viable option for everyday drivers. Many countries have incentives in place to make owning an electric car more appealing, and this has helped to raise the number of people opting for electric over a gas-powered vehicle. In a recent Australian survey, it was found that 54.1% would choose electric for environmental reasons, while the rest voted for ease of use and the cheaper overall cost. Electric vehicle sales have grown tremendously in countries such as Norway that offers many incentives to encourage users to switch. Almost half of all car sales in Norway last year were for electric vehicles. Considering Norway has vast petroleum and gas reserves, this shows just how determined they are to go electric. 3. Cost Savings
Electric vehicles are still more expensive to buy compared to a gas-powered car, but this discrepancy is being reduced every year. The main expense of electric cars is the battery packs, which power them, and as technology improves, these costs are naturally coming down.
