Are electric cars the future?
E-cars are making more and more progress. And already electric cars have some advantages, that are getting around and getting more and more customers excited about e-mobility: great driving pleasure through powerful acceleration, guaranteed free ride in all inner cities and an good conscience towards the environment. Reason enough to take a look at the function and advantages of electric cars.
How does an electric car work?
How does an electric car actually work? What powers it and how it gets moving? We explain it to you.
Like any electrical device with a battery, the electric car needs regular recharging. What the tank is for an ordinary car, the battery for an electric car dar. The term "battery also frequently used in connection with electric cars. However, a battery is strictly speaking a non-rechargeable energy storage device. Accordingly, the battery meant in electric cars is actually an accumulator. The term "battery has become a synonym for accumulator in linguistic usage. Precisely an e-car needs a battery and a battery pack.
The battery is the component that contributes to the engine supplied with energy. A 12 volt battery, known from the conventional burners, is also part of the basic equipment of the electric car. It primarily ensures the operation of minor functions like ventilation or window regulator. In addition, when the vehicle is started, it checks the functionality of all the electronics.
A classic electric car is not permanently connected to the power grid, as is the case, for example, with a trolley bus. For this reason, the battery plays a key role. It stores energy in the form of electricity, which ultimately allows the engine to generate kinetic energy and enables locomotion.
It is therefore clear why the battery of an electric car is considered to be the decisive success factor for the vehicle and ultimately for the entire technology. From the energy storage (battery) depends among other things the range of the car from. the more capacity the battery offers, the more kilometers can be driven at a stretch. When the battery is exhausted, it needs to be charged, and the time it takes to fully recharge is therefore an extremely important criterion for e-cars. Depending on the electric car charging station and vehicle the charging time differs. For longer tours, possible charging breaks should be planned in.
The maximum range covered by an electric car with a full battery charge is currently 605 kilometers.
What are the advantages of an electric car??
Unlike diesel or gasoline-powered vehicles, electric cars do not require any fuel, which is good for the environment. E-cars offer but even more advantages, which we have briefly summarized:
1) simple technology generates high performance
For the same power output, combustion engines require a much more complex design than electric engines. emission tests, etc. Enormous increase in the design time of combustors.
2) long life and low maintenance
Another advantage of an electric car is that it usually has a long service life, requires less servicing and therefore has lower workshop costs. electric cars have less moving parts resp. Wear parts that have to be maintained and repaired.
3) save money with the environmental bonus
buying or leasing an environmentally friendly car is strongly encouraged. see next paragraph for details.
4) self-sufficient through electromobility and solar energy
Photovoltaics in combination with e-mobility can ensure self-sufficiency at best. With their own PV system on the roof, drivers of e-cars can fill up with their own electricity.
5) energy is recovered when braking with e-cars
More and more electric cars can recover a large part of the kinetic energy when braking and feed it back into the battery. This not only saves energy, but also reduces wear and tear on the brakes, which are hardly ever used if the car is driven in a predictable manner.
6) electric cars are environmentally friendly& do not stink
This advantage should be obvious:
Along with zero emissions comes odorlessness and silence. This should please not only residents on busy roads, but also cyclists. It’s getting quieter and the air is getting cleaner.
7) refueling at home
If you have the option of installing a wallbox at home (some municipalities even subsidize these), you will be able to enjoy great freedom and flexibility with an electric car in the future. Soon there will be virtually no need for a trip to the gas station, because the electric car can be conveniently charged from home. In addition to inexpensive charging at one’s own power socket, some employers or businesses also offer free charging options to.
Which are the most popular electric cars?
Promotion of electric cars
On 3. June 2020 the government has decided on a stimulus package for 2020 and 2021. This also includes a doubling the environmental bonus for e-cars. The increased environmental bonus will be granted retroactively for all vehicles registered from 4. June 2020 and is available until 31 December 2020. December 2021. We have summarized the exact electric car subsidy in the following table:
| Vehicle type | net list price | subsidy |
| electric car | to 40.000 | 9.000 |
| to 65.000 | 7.500 | |
| plug-in hybrid | to 40.000 | 6.750 |
| up to 65.000 | 5.625 |
Vehicle tax exemption
Electric cars are now also eligible for tax incentives. Owners of an electric car benefit from a long tax-free period. Until now, for purely electric cars no vehicle tax due for ten years. For this, the first registration had to be made between 18. May 2011 and the 31. December 2020. A change of owner did not affect the tax exemption.
the economic stimulus package that has been passed is also taking effect here. The tax exemption for all-electric vehicles will continue until a first registration on 31. December 2015 and will be available until 31. December 2030 extended. When the exemption expires, e-cars will be taxed according to their weight. However, only half the tax amount is levied that would have to be paid for a comparable diesel or gasoline car.
Since 2019, also service cars with electric motor resp. Plug-in hybrid drive tax benefits. Purely electric company cars will be taxed at a flat rate of 0.25 percent of the purchase price. The limit of the purchase price is set from 40.000 to 60.000 euros, so that buyers of more expensive e-cars can also benefit from this. Plug-in hybrids are still taxed at 0.5 percent of the net list price. For combustibles, the flat rate is 1 percent.
Where to buy a cheap electric car?
Many brands, such as opel, audi and hyundai, are currently offering affordable electric cars. These are also subsidized by the environmental bonus, and some manufacturers, such as Renault, offer an additional manufacturer discount. BMW electric cars and VW electric cars are also on the advance. In car.You can find all the information about e-car subsidies and electric car news in the magazine.
