The shift towards Electric vehicles is now rapidly rising. The Auto manufacturers in the US, as well as globally, have started to manufacture EVs and are also focusing on the infrastructure that will help them achieve better sales figures.
There are two major reasons behind this step. The increase in air pollution caused by the vehicles running on internal combustion engines has forced Governments in all countries to introduce new policies. Under such policies, Auto manufacturers need to modify engines to meet the required emission norms imposed by the government. Modifying the engine might sound like an easy task but it requires a lot of research and development, time, and money because of which the manufacturing cost increases. This results in a drop in sales obviously due to the hike in price.
The constant increase in gasoline price is also one major reason that is forcing the buyers to move towards EVs.
Investing in Electric Vehicles can be serious and confusing things, and it’s important to make sure that the vehicle you are investing in does have a good customer review, history and does fulfill all your needs.
