Edit this postELECTRIC CAR OWNERS pls beware
From an Electric Car Owner:
"We undertook a bold journey to Hyderabad in an all Electric car attempting to be at mercy of roadside EV Charging Stations. We left Bengaluru at 230 pm and reached Hyderabad at 530 am the next day..!!! Sharing from our Experience:
1.) If you drive fast above 100 kmph, the battery drains fast.
2.) Bengaluru- Hyderabad Highway has numerous Charging Stations compared to many Other highways emerging from Bengaluru.
3.)Wayside Charging Stations are of 30 Kilowatts, few are 60 kilowatts which takes longer Charging time.
3.) Numerous Charging Stations but have no backup Power Supply as as a result these are redundant.
4.) Each Charging Station has its own App which has to be downloaded for Payment and Connection. These being in Remote locations, connectivity is poor to download. Our phone is now full of "Charging Apps"!
5.) On long distance drives, for those seated in the rear seat, Motion Sickness is more as the noiselessness, the visual and auditory inputs don't match the movement of the vehicle.
6.) When total discharge takes place, God only can help. You just have to exit. Steering wheel gets locked, Electronics of the Car shuts down completely. The vehicle needs to be taken on a flat bed.
7.) Now, we are thinking of acquiring (at least a Second hand) Fuel car.
8.) The best Electric Car has poor Resale value.
Electric Vehicles are way too forward to the future; the Supply Chain Infrastructure needs improve a lot. At present, electric vehicle is definitely not recommended if you are a Senior Citizen &or travelling with Family and Children!"
