I'm thinking of buying an electric car. What are the advantages and disadvantages of electric cars?

Advantages: Electric cars are generally quieter than petrol or diesel cars, making them more suitable for city driving. They also produce no emissions, which can help reduce air pollution in cities.2 Disadvantages: The range of electric cars is typically shorter than conventional vehicles, meaning you will need to find a charging station if you want to drive further. Additionally, they tend to be more expensive upfront due to the battery costs.
