We all know that the main disadvantage with the electric car lies in the expenses. The capital cost and maintenance for electric cars are much higher when compared to diesel or petrol cars of similar configuration. Another major issue is the battery replacement, which will cost you a fortune every 3-4 years.
I agree, not many people can afford the electric car, especially of its high maintenance every now and then, I think many people will stick to using petrol and diesel cars compared to Electric cars. It will take a very long time for Electric Cars to take over and replace the traditional use of Petrol and Diesel Cars.
