Electric vehicles

Electric cars burst into our lives like a breath of fresh air among the gray internal combustion engine routine. New models of electric cars are created every day, and existing ones are improved. You've probably heard a lot about EVs, but let's remember the main advantages of these cars of the future.

Advantages of electric vehicles

Time saving

Yes, despite the myths about long charging, with an electric car you can even save time. For instance, choosing a shopping mall with an electric charger, you can refill your car battery while shopping. Also, now a lot of chargers are being installed near offices, residential complexes, restaurants, SPA, etc. So there is no need to waste your free time on charging.

Money saving

Everyone has heard about this advantage of electric cars, but we will remind them once again. For example, even if you charge an electric car at a paid DC station, 100 "electric" kilometers will still cost several times cheaper than the same 100 km by a car with an internal combustion engine (ICE). In addition, the electric car has much fewer moving parts, so you definitely do not have to visit a car service as often as with an ICE. Replacement of oil, spark plugs, filters, etc. - it's all in the past! And if you still need a professional inspection of an electric car, we can provide recommendations for specialized car services in your city.

Ecological component

Indeed, after leaving an assembly line, the electric vehicle becomes the most environmentally friendly car available today. Yes, getting electricity from power plants also produces emissions, but there is an alternative - solar panels. There is no "green" alternative to ICE cars refueling, and everyone knows about the harm of smog without further explanation.

What is important when choosing an electric car

Among the variety of electric car brands and models, it is sometimes so hard to make the best choice. Range, battery capacity, charging ports (connectors), AC and DC charging, the price of the electric car - these are just a few of the many factors to consider when choosing an EV.

Hard to choose?

If you have already decided to switch to an electric car, but still have doubts about which one to choose - we will be happy to help! In this section, you can view the prices of electric cars, read the characteristics of the most popular models, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages, and, finally, buy the electric car of your dreams.

F.A.Q.

How long does the EV charging last?
Charging at the standard electrical outlet with 220V and 16 A: 150 km of range: 8-12 hours (Nissan Leaf, Kia Soul, Renault Zoe); 300-400 km of range: 20-25 hours (Tesla) or 7-15 km per hour. When charging with the accelerated (AC) charging station (up to 22 kW) the time reduces to 4-6 hours for a full charge (30 km per hour at average). The speed depends on the power of the onboard charger of EV. At the same time, the models like Mercedes B-class, Renault Zoe or Tesla Model S can charge at 100-150 km of range per hour, as they are equipped with powerful onboard chargers.
What is the range of an electric vehicle?
The range of EVs depends on the capacity of the installed battery. The majority of electric cars have range of 130-150 km, while new-generation vehicles, such as Chevrolet Bolt and Renault Zoe can go over 300 km, while Tesla cars offer 400 km of range.
Does the cold weather negatively affect the EV's range?
Depending on weather conditions and the power of heating in the car, EVs may lose from 20 to 30% of energy at 0°C and up to 40% when the temperature falls to -20°C. This is caused by a non-optimal temperature for the batteries work and by energy consumption for the cabin heating.
What is the battery life cycle?
The present-day electric vehicles are equipped with batteries that have a long life cycle. The approximate mileage of EVs before the battery goes to 70-80% of their initial capacity is 120-150 thousand kilometers, while vehicles with bigger batteries (75-90 kWh) can go above 300 thousand kilometers without major negative impact on their range. Besides, all new electric cars have a 5 to 8-year warranty for their batteries.
How much does it cost to charge an EV?
Charging a vehicle is usually 80% cheaper than refilling a gasoline car. When charging at home, 100 km of the range will cost approximately 3-4 Euros with 15-20 kWh on 100 km consumption.
