The electric car will pay for itself at least 6 years
Speaking of savings in the purchase of an electric vehicle. Taking into account the difference in the cost of electricity and gasoline, experts an American marketing firm J. D. Power and Associates estimated that the return of the electric car will take 6-11 years, depending on the price difference with the petrol counterpart.
In the study, the company surveyed 7600 respondents. It turned out that the low sales of hybrid and electric vehicles (0.3% of total new car sales) due to the fact that buyers do not see the benefits in acquiring such a machine.
Currently, the cost of electric cars in the U.S. more than 10-16 thousand dollars (in our country by half) the cost of cars with internal combustion engine.
And so, if the electric car is more expensive on 10 thousand dollars, the difference can be return only after 6-7 years, but if the price tag exceeds 15-16 thousand dollars, it will take 11 years.
"There is a gap between the actual cost of the electric vehicle and the savings that you would get from it customers," said Director of alternative technology J. D. Power's Neal Oddes.
In different countries, scientists and engineers carry out optimization of multiple technologies, which in the future will make the traction battery is capacious and inexpensive. However, while problems with a small number of charge cycles and high cost items do not allow electric cars to break through to the masses.
