Electric cars and oil cars have their own characteristics and advantages, the following is a detailed comparison of the two:
I. Maintenance and Repair
Electric car: the maintenance cost of electric car is relatively low, because its power system is relatively simple, and it is not easy to fail. At the same time, the maintenance cost of electric cars is also relatively low.
Oil car: the maintenance cost of oil car is relatively high, because its power system is complex, and it needs to change oil and clean injector nozzles on a regular basis. Meanwhile, the maintenance cost of oil vehicles is also higher.
Second, range and driving experience
Electric vehicles: The range of electric vehicles is limited by the battery capacity, which still needs to be improved. Meanwhile, EVs take longer to charge, which limits their ability to travel long distances. However, the driving experience is usually quieter, more comfortable and faster.
Oil cars: Oil cars have an unlimited range and can be driven as long as they have fuel. At the same time, refuelling time for an oil car is very short, usually no more than 5 minutes. However, oil cars are noisy, have a strong sense of frustration, and accelerate more slowly.
Third, travelling and licensing
Electric car: electric cars travel freely and are not restricted by number restrictions. At the same time, it is relatively easy to get a licence for an electric car, especially in some cities where the number of fuel cars is restricted.
Oil vehicles: Oil vehicles may be subject to traffic and number restrictions in some cities, which may affect their travelling convenience. At the same time, oil vehicles may face the problem of difficult licensing in some cities.
Maturity and Interior
Electric vehicles: The technology of electric vehicles is relatively new, but developing rapidly. The interiors of EVs are usually more modern, technological and spacious.
Oil vehicles: The technology of oil vehicles is very mature, with high reliability and stability. However, the interiors of oil vehicles may be relatively modest and have less storage space.
V. Other Considerations
Electric vehicles: Electric vehicles have lower replenishment costs as the cost of electricity is much lower than the price of oil. However, insurance costs for EVs may be higher, and with a limited battery life, it may be very difficult to replace the battery once the warranty period is over. In addition, the range of EVs may be compromised in winter.
Oil Vehicles: Oil vehicles are more expensive to replenish because of the high volatility of oil prices. However, the engines of oil vehicles have been developed and improved over a long period of time, and have a high degree of reliability and stability. Meanwhile, oil trucks have a wide coverage of petrol stations, so users can easily find a petrol station.
