electric car downside

In today world, we can see many changes. One such changes are the decreasing fossil fuel that will envelop the world one day. In order for people to survive their addiction to fossil fuel, some car manufacturing company come with idea of hybrid car or electric car.

But, nevertheless, electric car never fully popularize, and people are still sceptical. Why?

For one, too expensive. To store the massive power the car need to run, it cost them USD10000 - USD15000 for a battery per piece, this make the overall electric car twice the price of a normal gas car. People figure everything into buying a car, and buying a electric car is just too expensive on the long run.

Limited range is also a problem. Different electric car has different mile age on how much can it go with a full recharge. However, the miles it can go are still shorter than that of a gas car. This prove to be a problem to those that travel a lot. Plus with limited recharging station, it would a problem when the car run out of juice.
