Any EV is far superior to any Internal combustion engine known today as far as efficiency,noise, pollution and ease of maintenance.It is easier to control and limit the pollution in case case of a large land based power house than millions of smaller automobiles that are distributed everywhere!

Dear Raghu,

1.As per as efficiency is concern, electric motor don't give more than 80% efficiency and efficiency of a DC motor comes down as it gets heated during operation.And you are using electrical energy to charge your battery, which my be getting generated again in some thermal power plant, so there is also some loss are liked to happen.And when you will add up all these effeciencies, you may find EV is poor in terms of effeciency to a IC vehicle.
2. Noise may be less, but again noise is not a problem as, all IC vehicles comming these days are silent and vibration free
3.Pollution is again linked with effeciency as a whole. More over, where you will dispose the toxic batteries?
4. Maintanace cost may be higher due to high cost of battery and you don't have any choice other than to replace batteries.

So think again which one is more superior.

Dear bhagat singh,

Do you think whether a electric car with AC Servo Motor will have better energy efficiency? We can supply such a two-seat electric car, which can be driven above 130km after being charged and energy consumption is 13-16kwhs/100km? Please let us know: electroautoe-v@hotmail.com or Skype: majiangwu.

Dear Bhagat Singh,

Normally there are 6pcs/1set Lead Acid batteries will be used in a electric cars. And the price for one set with better quailit,such as Korean Phoenix brand, is no more than $1800.00, the life-span is about 2years. As you know, the electric cars are low-maintenace rate except the replace of batteries, so we think the cose of use will be more lower than a gas car. By the way, are you interested a two-seat electric car which is made in China and have been successfully launched into USA market? Please contact us for detail: electroautoe-v@hotmail.com or Skype: majiangwu
