Conquer I.T in collaboration with the Ghana Garages online app brings to Professional Mechanics and Car dealers in Ghana, some salient information about electric vehicles.
1. The first electric car was built over 200 years ago. You can be forgiven for thinking that Electric Vehicles are fairly recent innovations. But in reality, the first electric car was built over 200 years ago by Robert Anderson in the 1830's. However, electric vehicles have only recently become a viable mode of transport for the general public in the UK and US.
2. Electric Vehicles are much quieter than traditional cars. Little sound is produced when electric cars are in use compared to fuel-powered ones. Most electric car drivers report the experience as much more pleasant with quiet engines, making for a smoother ride.
3. You can travel over 200 miles on one charge. Thus in Ghana, a single charge of an electric vehicle could take you on a journey from Accra to Sunyani.
4. It could take as many as 20 minutes to charge an electric vehicle. While topping up your tank could take as little as five minutes, getting your electric vehicle fully charged can take up to 20 minutes.
5. Electric Vehicles are cheaper to operate than traditional vehicles. Electricity is much cheaper than petrol or diesel. Over the course of your ownership of an electric vehicle, you will relatively require less maintenance compared to traditional vehicles.
