The many disadvantages of electric cars
By Uldis Sprogis
It is a myth that electric cars are green because they have no exhaust emissions. The fact is that, depending on the region, most electric grid power stations use fossil fuels such as dirty coal, gas, and petroleum. So, electric cars are not a green sustainable solution for now.
Under moderate temperatures most electric cars suffer from a limited average range of about 350 miles on a full charge, although some high-priced models can travel as far as 500 miles. This makes long trips by car rather difficult, especially since there is a dearth of electric charging stations along the interstate highways and within city limits.
It takes much longer to charge an electric car to full capacity than it does to fill up the tank of a gasoline car. Even with a fast charger the charge time is 20 minutes to an hour. This is not desirable if you are on a tight schedule where time is important to you. It is also a reason why obtaining a full charge at residential homes without fast chargers usually requires an overnight charging.
There is a very limited electric grid infrastructure which will take years to upgrade so we can’t all switch to driving electric cars in the near future even if we wanted to. Already noted is the paucity of charging station infrastructure which makes it very inconvenient when charging up your car away from home.
