Problems with the Electric Cars.
Electric cars are generally more expensive than gasoline cars. The primary reason is the high cost of car batteries. US consumers seem to be unwilling to pay more for an electric car. This prohibits the mass transition from gasoline cars to electric cars. A recent survey taken by Nielsen for the Financial Times has shown that 65 per cent of Americans are not willing pay more for an electric car above the price of a gasoline car.
Electric cars have expensive batteries.
Electric cars are short-range cars that cannot be driven for long distances without needing to be recharged. Also full recharge times are over 4 hours making it impracticable to be able to recharge and go. Plus, the increase in your electricity bill and the need for a smart grid approach when you have an electric vehicle steers many people away.
In car accident the increased mass caused by the mass of the battery causes an increase in accelerations and hence an increase in the severity of the accidents. Also, Some electric cars use low rolling resistance tires, which typically offer less grip than normal tires making stopping speeds slower. Finally, Many electric cars have a small, light and fragile body, though, and therefore offer inadequate safety protection.
