Difference between CNG & EV Cars in India with usability

With the rise of pollution and global warming, and soaring fuel prices, there is increasing popularity of green energy. In this case, CNG and EV have come as the alternative solution. Adding to its greater user experience and seamless performance, CNG and EVs are just a few steps away from taking over the automotive sector in the future.

So, let’s have a look at how CNG and EVs are different and what is their usability, in detail.

CNG: 
CNG or Compressed Natural Gas is a substitute fuel option being offered with factory fitments by various carmakers.
CNG is cheaper than EVs in running and fitment costs. CNG cars emit less harmful gases than petrol cars.

EV:
EVs or Electric Vehicles are operated on electric power. 
They are environmentally friendly and offer zero emissions. To make it more affordable government has various policies and tax benefits including exemption of road taxes and RTO fees.

Usability: CNG and EV

●    An alternative option: With the increasing fuel price and environmental pollution, CNG and EV are the best alternative fuel options to adopt at the time.

●    Save more: With fewer body parts CNG and EVs have low maintenance and running costs in comparison to conventional vehicles. 

●    Energy Efficient: EVs are the most energy efficient compared to CNG and petrol cars.

●    Range: EVs can give range anxiety. With CNG there is less range anxiety as you can also switch to petrol if needed.

●    Environment friendly: CNG emits lower harmful particles while EVs produce zero. In comparison to CNG vehicles, EVs perform seamlessly, producing zero noise, vibration, and no harshness.

●    Addictive driving experience: EVs offer the best driving experience with their no-gear option and enviable performance. CNG provides a cleaner driving experience with the option to switch to petrol if you run out of CNG.
