Advantages of Battery Powered
Devices and Vehicles
Battery
powered vehicles and equipment can be charged by the sun making them pollution
free. You can avoid using earth damaging petroleum products by installing solar
panels, from just a few to charge the smaller equipment to several to charge
your vehicles.
Battery
powered devices produce no polluting exhaust and do not leave you smelling like
gas and exhaust after using them. You will be able to stop making numerous trips
to the gas station. The price of gas will be of no concern to you. Battery
powered devices are always “full” at the start of your day and if needed can be
recharged in a few hours. They always run no matter when they were last used.
Cold or hot weather only slightly affect the range or EVs.
Battery
powered devices and vehicles are much quieter than internal combustion engine
(ICE) powered devices.
There
are not belts, pulleys or other high failure items on these devices.
EVs have
none of the following costly items:
engines,
transmissions, exhaust systems, pollution control devices, ignition systems,
fuel systems, oil changes, etc.
The cost
to fuel electric vehicles is about ¼ the cost of fueling ICE vehicles. Plus, EVs
have much lower maintenance costs. Some EVs have advanced collision avoidance
systems, sophisticated cruise control systems, and self-driving systems. Todays
EVs are not golf carts. They can accelerate from 0-60 in under 5 seconds with a
top speed of over 140 MPH. Some can travel over 300 miles on a charge and charge
at a rate of over 1000 miles per hour which means you can gain about 150 miles
in 10 minutes. There are thousands of charging stations around the country. Most
EVs can be charged anywhere there is electricity.
