The battery of an E-vehicle makes the vehicle center of gravity lower , which has several advantages. An e-motor starts at high torque instantly, so better acceleration. Braking is better and some energy of braking can be used to charge the battery. The owner can charge up at their own home and NEVER need a charging station as long as they drive locally only. They can do some amount of solar charging. There are lots of advantages to owning an E-vehicle. The earth will run out of OIL before the sun burn out, that's a long term advantage to be sure.
