A. There are several advantages to the electric vehicle the most obvious being its lack of tailpipe emissions, which makes it a perfect choice for people who care for mother earth. Another advantage is the relatively silent operation which reduces noise pollution. The third big advantage is the reduction of reliance on foreign oil. As oil supplies dwindle the availability of petrol/diesel will become much less stable. As electric vehicles don't need petrol/diesel, they will be able to glide by the fuel station as others line up to buy fuel.
A. Most BOVs can easily handle a 50~60 KM commute without recharging within a day. Production BOVs like the Toyota RAV4 EV and GM's EV1 can easily do more than 70 miles on a charge so they can handle normal driving without any problems. Remember, 22,000 kilometers per year would be a daily average of 60 kilometers.
A. Cost of running BOV compared to a petrol vehicle is 0.01%. Because BOVs are currently being built in very small numbers they are more expensive than internal combustion engine (ICE) powered cars initially. Offsetting this is lower running costs as it is much cheaper to charge an BOV than it is to use petrol or diesel for a given mileage. To help reduce the additional cost and get the electric vehicle industry moving there are many government incentives that have been introduced.
A. The thing is that you don't have to wait until a Battery Operated Vehicle is quarter full to recharge, you do it any time it is convenient. You also don't need to fully charge it either, just give it enough of a charge to get you home location. More so, our vehicles are fitted with on-board chargers that enables you to plug in where ever you have a functional electricity point.
A. A solution of baking soda and water. Use 1 cup of baking soda in a gallon of water. Mix it well, apply and leave it for some time and wipe off with clean cloth.
A. Depending on the method used to generate electricity there is some pollution involved. There are also many different ways to generate electricity and many of these such as Solar, Wind and Hydro do not create any pollution. Some BOV drivers have taken the next step and installed solar panels at their home so that they can generate the electricity to run their vehicle without pollution. Call us to know more about it!
