If you are considering buying a new vehicle, you are likely torn between an electric vehicle (EV) and a conventional vehicle with an internal combustion engine (ICE). The fuel source is the main difference between these vehicles. ICEs are powered by gasoline. The vehicle burns the gasoline internally to produce power for the car.
On the other hand, EVs are powered at least partially by electricity. They have an electric motor that gets power from a fuel cell or batteries.
While some EVs run solely on electricity, others are plug-in hybrids that have a diesel or gas-powered engine along with an electric motor. These vehicles can switch between electric and gas modes.
Advantages of Electric Vehicles
EVs come with several advantages that drivers love. First, of course, these vehicles greatly reduce, and in some cases entirely eliminate, fuel costs. Gas is so expensive these days that avoiding the gas pumps altogether or only fueling up now and then is a huge reason to buy an EV.
These vehicles are also environmentally friendly. There is a lot of talk about global warming these days, and many people are looking for ways to do their part. If you want to join in and help, an EV is a great place to start. These vehicles do not have the same environmental impact as ICEs do.
It is also easy to keep these vehicles powered. Instead of standing at a gas pump, you can just plug in your EV at home or work. You do not have to stand there and wait for it to charge. You can go about your day and come back to a fully charged vehicle.
Now you are thinking an EV might be the right choice for you, but you want something that can go far. You do not want to have to stop for a charge on the way to work or when you’re coming home from an event. That means you want to choose a vehicle that has the power you need to enjoy your daily life.
So which vehicle is the winner?
Meet the Tesla Model S
Tesla has long been the go-to choice for people who want electric vehicles. The company has managed to create some beautiful, high-performing electric cars, and the Tesla Model S is no exception. The Tesla S Long Range goes an amazing 335 miles on a single charge, while the Tesla S Performance goes 315 miles on one charge.
Both vehicles top out at 155 miles per hour, so you still get lots of speed and power with the electric engine. The Performance model can even go from 0-60 in 3 seconds with the standard package, or you can upgrade to Ludicrous Mode for a 20 percent faster acceleration.
Who said that electric vehicles do not have power?
