Electric vs Hybrid Cars: Which is Better for You Right Now?

• Electric Vehicles (EVs) offer zero emissions, low running costs (1-2 rupees/km), and lower maintenance, with government subsidies making them more affordable.
• EVs face challenges like limited charging infrastructure outside cities, high battery replacement costs every 8-10 years, and lower resale value.
• Hybrid cars combine petrol and electric power, offering high fuel efficiency (e.g., 28 km/liter) and suitability for long distances with no range anxiety.
• Hybrids are more expensive than EVs, still rely on fuel, and have higher emissions than EVs, though their resale value is better.
• The choice depends on individual needs: EVs are better for city driving with home charging, while hybrids suit long, irregular trips or areas with poor charging networks.
