HOW HAS THE ELECTRICAL REVOLUTION BROKEN DOWN BARRIERS TO GROWTH ?
EVs offer several advantages over traditional gasoline-powered vehicles including lower operating costs , reduced emissions , and quieter operation . Advances in battery technology have also made it possible for EVs to travel longer distances on a single charge , addressing one of the main concerns of potential buyers . In addition , the battery cost has been decreasing over the years , opening up new opportunities for growth .
The fast-expanding charging network now makes it it easier for owners to recharge their vehicles , reducing concerns about range and enabling them to travel further . The key here is swappable batteries , which take less time to change than to refill a petrol vehicle . This reduces range anxiety substantially .
These developments have made electric vehicles more attractive to environmentally conscious consumers , thus expanding the overall EV market .
