Electric cars Vs Traditional cars

[Gowtham]

Quote

One of the main reasons behind buyers not going for an electric car is the high ownership cost. For buyers of EVs, the total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes the cost for acquisition, running, and maintenance, is the most important factor determining the viability of the vehicle, according to a white paper on electric mobility released by strategy consultant firm Kearney.

That cost, a cost analysis done by Kearney reveals, is higher for EVs than their conventional-fuel counterparts. "At current petrol prices, the TCO for

electric cars is costlier than for petrol cars with the daily running of less than 40 to 45 kilometers. At distances beyond this threshold, electric cars offer a favorable TCO proposition. Most people in Indian cities travel about 35 to 40 kms a day between their homes and workplaces, which limits the savings from the lower running costs of EVs. CNBCTV18

Electric cars has long way to go. From the above list my vote goes to both Creta and Seltos.

I feel, the EV market will easily take another 10 years to emerge itself into the Indian market.. I would surely pick Creta.. 🙂
