Knowing the difference between electric cars and gasoline cars is very important. This is because electric cars are predicted to be mass-produced and become the cars of the future. By understanding the differences between the two, you can weigh which car is better and more suitable for your needs. You must be curious, right? Let's take a look at the complete differences as follows.

Differences Between Electric Cars and Gasoline Cars

There are several differences between electric cars and gasoline cars that you need to know. Here are the complete differences.

1. Fuel

The first difference can be seen in terms of fuel. Electric cars use electricity as energy. Meanwhile, gasoline cars use fuel oil.

2. Fuel Costs

The second difference can be seen from the fuel costs. Each electric car certainly has different fuel consumption depending on the battery capacity and the distance traveled.

For example, the Daihatsu EV 2023 has a lithium battery capacity of 32 kWh with an electric motor power of 60 kWh. To fully charge the Daihatsu EV to 100%, it costs Rp78,297. This calculation is based on the battery capacity multiplied by the electricity price of Rp2,446.78 per kWh. 

According to the Daihatsu website, with a fully charged battery, the Daihatsu EV can travel up to 200 kilometers with the AC on.

On the other hand, for gasoline cars like the Daihatsu Terios, to travel 200 kilometers, it requires 19 liters of gasoline. If multiplied by the price of pertalite gasoline at Rp10,000 per liter, it costs Rp190,000. So, in comparison, the fuel cost of electric cars is 2.4:1 more economical than gasoline cars. 

3. Emissions

The third difference can be seen in terms of emissions. Gasoline cars emit exhaust gases that contain pollutants, thus polluting the air and the environment. Meanwhile, electric cars have no exhaust emissions at all, making them environmentally friendly. For hybrid electric cars, they emit exhaust gases but with low pollutants.

4. Mechanism of Action

The fourth difference can be seen from the mechanism of action. In electric cars, energy from the battery is needed to move. The DC power from the battery is then converted by inverter technology into AC phase to drive the induction motor. Meanwhile, gasoline cars require gasoline as an energy fuel processed by the fuel system and the engine combustion system.

5. Maintenance

The fifth difference can be seen in terms of maintenance. Electric cars certainly have more difficult maintenance compared to gasoline cars. This is because spare parts for electric cars are not widely sold in Indonesia.

6. Range

The sixth difference can be seen from the range. Gasoline cars are certainly superior to electric cars in terms of range, especially in bad weather conditions.

7. Performance

The last difference can be seen in terms of performance. In terms of performance and acceleration, electric cars are superior to gasoline cars. This is due to the very complex system of electric cars. However, for long journeys, gasoline cars are superior because they have various types of models along with different features. For example: Sedan, hatchback types for urban use. SUV, MPV for road trips. And 4x4 types for off-road purposes.

Thus, the differences between electric cars and gasoline cars. Which of the two cars do you think is superior? If you are interested in buying the best gasoline or electric car, you can visit the nearest official Daihatsu dealer
