For the last few years, the discussion of electric vehicles has been in full swing in many countries including India, and why not. The pollution level due to vehicles is increasing day by day. The Indian government is also taking several steps for electric cars, but the question is what are the advantages of electric cars and how is it beneficial for us. Following are the benefits of Electric vehicles.

With an electric car, you can travel at the rate of Rs 1 per kilometer, which is 70 percent less than a petrol car. If you charge your vehicle with solar power-generated electricity then this cost will even reduce further.

It may seem what little noise can do but once you start noticing the difference you will realize things are different when change occurs in big numbers.

There are many other benefits of switching to electric vehicles. Times are changing we need to adapt according to that. Plus the government is also providing many added benefits with them. India is a country of 1.3 billion people and even if one percent of our population switches to electric vehicles many scenarios will witness drastic changes.
