PROS AND CONS OF A BUICK GMC ELECTRIC CAR

PROS

THEY'RE QUIET

A combustion engine Buick or GMC is quiet on the inside when it moves, but you can still hear almost imperceptible sounds of the components at work. A Buick GMC electric car is silent due to its battery-powered electric engine.

THEY DON'T POLLUTE

The catalytic converter in a combustion-powered car removes 99% of dangerous gasses, but they still produce pollution that is vented from the exhaust. An electric car has no fossil fuel to burn, which makes it safer and kinder to the environment.

THEY RESPOND QUICKLY

An electric engine has fewer parts than a gasoline-powered one, and its energy conversion is faster and more efficient. These two factors make an electric car faster and more responsive to your demands.

THEY'RE LOW MAINTENANCE

CONS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

THEY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE AT PRESENT

Combustion-powered cars have been on the road for over 100 years. When they first appeared, cars were expensive. As more of these cars were sold, economies of scale caused their price to drop. Electric cars are presently not as easily affordable as their combustion-powered cousins, but their price will continue to fall as their evident value increases.

THEY HAVE A SHORTER-RANGE AT THIS TIME

At present electric cars have a shorter range than combustion cars. Hooking up to a charging station does take longer than refueling at a gas station. New technologies will, however, continue to increase the range of electric cars even further.
