About this video
Electric vehicles (EVs) offer several advantages over traditional gasoline-powered cars, primarily focused on environmental impact, cost savings, and performance. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. They also have lower running costs due to cheaper electricity compared to gasoline, and require less maintenance due to lack of moving parts.
