Electric vehicles (EVs) are on the rise—but are they right for your home? Let’s explore the real benefits and drawbacks.
Charging an EV is far cheaper than refueling a petrol or diesel car. Home charging can cut your running costs by over 70%.
EVs have fewer moving parts—no oil changes, no exhausts. Fewer trips to the service center mean more peace of mind (and savings).
Zero tailpipe emissions = cleaner air. Paired with solar power, EVs at home can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
EVs can cost more than regular cars initially, especially with bigger batteries. However, tax rebates or subsidies can help.
Home charging is convenient but slow. A full charge on a regular outlet can take 8–12 hours unless you install a fast charger.
Long road trips? Not always easy. Public chargers aren’t everywhere yet, and range anxiety can still be real for some EV models.
If your daily drive is short and you can charge at home, EVs are a smart, green investment. Just weigh the cost and your needs first.
