At this point, no one is wondering whether EVs are here to stay, but how soon will we get rid of petrol vehicles? In fact, before burning petrol, most vehicles ran on electric batteries. There were no recharging stations, so batteries needed to be replaced much more often. Electric cars are much older. Efficiency in Numbers.

Most EVs are hampered from driving long distances by the gap between charging stations and the time it takes to recharge their batteries, which have limited range. Unlike petrol stations, in the vast majority of cases, you can’t just park up and charge. Long journeys in an electric car currently require an element of planning.
