Electric vehicles versus internal combustion vehicles

Advantages that are often not mentioned

  1. -You don't have to discover or look for electricity
  2. -You don't have to drill for electricity
  3. -Electricity can be generated multiple ways
  4. -You don't have to refine Electricity
  5. -You don't have to store Electricity in bulk
  6. -You don't have to physically transport Electricity
  7. -Ther are far more electrical outlets than fuel bowsers
  8. -You don't need a fuel pumping Bowser, powered by Electricity, to get Electricity into a vehicle
  9. -The cost per unit of electricity does not fluxate as much as the cost of petrol or diesel
  10. -Ordinary people can generate ther own electricity
  11. -You can put fuel/power/energy back in to your fuel/power/energy tank (battery) practicality every time you back off on the accelerator or you are going down hill. You can't do that with a ICE vehicle
  12. -You can use Electricity for other than transport
  13. -You can get upto 90 days before you have to pay for the Electricity you have used
  14. -You can arrange to purchase electricity, at certain times, at a less expensive price
  15. -Ther are some organisations, like shopping centres and some employers, that will provide electricity for you for free. This is less likely to happen with petroleum products.
  16. -Because of most of the above the cost of electricity compared to petrol and diesel is less and that different is only going to get larger.
  17. -People don't have to breathe carcinogenic fumes
  18. -People don't have their hearing damaged.
  19. - Because ther are far fewer parts in an electric motor then an internal combustion engine, electric cars are cheaper to maintain and should be cheaper to manufacture
  20. -In Australia electricity does not have to be imported, compared to petroleum products, that do. Petroleum products are Australia's largest import by value. Other than the monetary savings, this makes Australia less reliant on overseas suppliers.
  21. -Ther is a finite amount of oil on this planet that took millions of years to be created, which is impossible to happen again, compared to the energy we can get directly or indirectly from the sun to make Electricity. The sun will outlast our planet and the human race
