Maintenance Cost
As we know Electric vehicle didn’t have mechanical/moving parts it only has a Motor and battery as the main component, because very less mechanical parts service cost reduce drastically and it’s required yearly checkup that’s it.
When we talk about Petrol cars they required service every 10000 km and mechanical parts cost will increase service to service.
Usability
If talk about usability factors then CNG cars are way better because electric charger infrastructure is poor in India and it’s still under development whereas petrol and CNG cars are ready to go anywhere, so in usability factors CNG cars are winners.
Conclusion
If you ride in metro cities or north India then electric vehicles are a great option otherwise you are a person who wants to travel a lot from state to state then CNG or Petrol cars are the best options for you.
