Since the introduction of vehicles they have used gas as their main fuel source. This continued for many years and fuel was a cheap resource. As the number of vehicles grew and the demand for fuel increased, the supply of fuel was limited. Further vehicles weren’t efficient at the time and used many gallons of fuel. Since we identified this problem many companies started focusing on finding an alternative form of fuel. Out of this they created electric vehicles. Electric vehicles have become very popular and the demand keeps increasing every months. Many auto manufacturers have also started focusing on electric vehicles. When picking between a gas and electric vehicle, here are a few things to consider.

Cost of Maintenance

The cost of maintenance differs largely between gas and electric vehicles. For gas vehicles they require gas after a certain distance. This requirement is a given, and other costs are changing batteries, servicing costs and cleaning cost. Out of all of this, gas would be the largest cost while servicing would be secondary.

For electric vehicles the largest costs is the cost of charging. When compared to a gas vehicle the cost of electricity is much cheaper than fuel cost. This way there are large savings for electric vehicles. The other cost would be the servicing cost but electric vehicles don’t have engines like gas vehicles.

Torque and SpeedWhen it comes to torque and speed there is a difference. Gas vehicles have much more torque than a electric vehicles. Popular Nissan patrol wreckers and other pickups run on gas therefore they are strong vehicles with the ability to pull anything. Similarly gas vehicles are fast.

Some of the fastest vehicles in the world run on GasElectric vehicles don’t have much torque like a gas vehicle. There are no proper electric 4×4 vehicles. All Toyota, Chevrolet, Ford and Nissan 4×4 wreckers run on gas. Electric vehicles would consume too much battery to be 4×4. Speed on the other is quite good but not as good as a gas vehicle. The popular Tesla cars can travel quite fast

.Gas and Electric

Charging StationsGas vehicles require gas to run and electric vehicles require electric to run. There are many gas stations all over. Due to gas vehicles being available for many years and has become part of the economy there are many gas stations and finding one is not too hard.

Charging spots have begun coming up in many gas stations. Many countries have driven the development of charging stations for electric cars to charge but there aren’t many charging station when compared to gas stations. It is definitely expanding but it isn’t there yet. On the other hand electric cars cab be charged where there’s an electric socket. You can basically charge an electric car in your house, office or any place where there’s electricity.
