Driving electric cars has several advantages and disadvantages. Electric cars cause fewer emissions. They also provide personal space for drivers to relax when they feel exhausted on the road. Some think electric cars do not have any disadvantages. But the truth is different. Firstly, the cost is not as reasonable as traditional cars.

Secondly, on occasions like field trips, drivers cannot travel far distances because batteries of electric cars only last for 100-160 kilometers.
