Let’s go through the comparisons of electric and petrol cars. The will help you decide whether to opt for an electric car or a petrol car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petrol Car Vs Electric Car: Maintenance Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Maintenance](\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/n5SDO82CUbGB6NBYQepLnZPle5fLDu3LqZnrIjpL4IEkNkDYJJlWgbo2YnAKYDNeteEqvshjuSNOUBUtzqYB_3_aJ_oGv1N3QCHfp_FglG-IRPYOXpAGvclvtmjkq0c2LU3KDv7IS8SHC-9q2jSGCuQ\")
Petrol cars have higher maintenance cost due to the excessive number of moving parts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nInternal combustion engines work on the basis of many smaller moving parts that require proper oiling for smooth function. Generally, petrol cars need an oil change after every 10,000km, this may vary from vehicle type to vehicle type. On average, an oil change can cost AED 80<\/strong> to AED 100,<\/strong> reaching up to AED 800<\/strong> if you own a luxury car. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the contrary, electric cars use electronic components that are exempted from oiling and thus do not require an oil change. However, electric car owners are required to change cabin air filters and brake fluid every two years. Along with this, they also need to get their AC serviced once in two to six years. For this, visit the nearest car AC repair shop in Dubai<\/a> and other Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPetrol Car Vs Electric Car: Fuel Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Environmental](\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/K6opVGx5y3r5ZyWZmWcaOOhubdaz14gFPk_TUj-n096BETUYQUJ7Hf9XD48JT4E3qHk5q5GjwLfSj8dJK4AmVfHZRiOccqJr2YLUboflq1sC2xv74cwFflqJ5TdPCD6RswB81_caK9bV0TQfd_x2ock\")
The environmental impact and carbon emissions of petrol vehicles are higher contrary of an electric car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe below-mentioned statistics are on the basis of average fuel economy and fuel prices: therefore, it may vary from the actual cost of running an electric car Vs a petrol car in the UAE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, the petrol price in the UAE ranges from AED 3.84<\/strong> to AED 4.03<\/strong> (depending on fuel type), and the average fuel economy in the UAE is 14.8km\/litre. According to which, if you are driving 1 km\/day, the fuel cost of petrol cars will be AED 0.25 to AED 0.27, and the average cost of filling a tank is AED 270. Along with this, the government has also announced fuel subsidies through UAE\u2019s Social Support Program<\/a> by which users can avail of subsidised fuel from the government. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn comparison to petrol cars, a midsize electric car on an hour of 240-volt charging can provide 30 to 40 km of runtime. Previously, the electric charging stations were free of cost in the majority of the areas, but EV owners will be charged from now on. The price of electric car charging<\/a> in the UAE starts from AED 3.35<\/strong> and can reach up to AED 22.84<\/strong> for 30 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPetrol Car Vs Electric Car: Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Electric cars<\/a> are known for providing higher drivability and silent rides, as the only running part in the car is an electric motor. This also increases the energy efficiency, as lesser parts are involved in energy transfer, which reduces any potential chance of energy loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhereas petrol cars burn fossil fuel and generate energy in which a portion of the energy is lost in the form of heat. Moreover, from the engine to the wheels, several parts, including the gearbox, clutch and drivetrain system, are involved that contribute to energy loss. Hence, in terms of performance, electric cars are more efficient than petrol cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petrol Car Vs Electric Car: Other Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The UAE government aims for an eco-friendly Emirates by the end of this decade. To achieve this goal, a number of projects have been launched that also support the purchase and usage of electric cars. For instance: in Dubai, electric car owners are provided with free parking for up to 4 hours in limited areas and also get free RTA Salik <\/a>tags. Remember that only the tags are free and the trips will be charged as per normal. Along with this, a number of banks are also providing green loans that will facilitate electric car purchases.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor petrol cars, auto loans in Dubai and other Emirates are already present that financially aid owners in purchasing cars. However, for electric cars, a number of banks are providing green auto loans. Banks charge lesser process fees for these loans and the interest rate is also lower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
