Why the Surge in Electric Vehicles? The following factors have been propelling the increase in the number of electric cars on the road: Price
Increased capabilities
Improved infrastructure
Growing concerns about being environmentally friendly
The functionality of electric vehicles has been steadily increasing, making them a more practical option. In 2019, the average battery life of all electric cars on the market will exceed 200 miles for the first time, reports Amanda Myers in Forbes. An increase in the availability of fast charges in public places also makes electric vehicles more practical. In 2017, there were 430,000 publicly available chargers around the world, the IEA reports. The cost of production has dramatically dropped, too – the cost of lithium-ion batteries has plummeted by 80% since 2010 and is expected to fall by another 45%. Owning a vehicle that uses renewable energy may reduce your carbon footprint. Stricter emissions regulations and growing concerns about mitigating climate change have made electric cars an appealing option.
