Environmental Impact: EVs generally have lower emissions compared to petrol cars, especially if the electricity they use comes from renewable sources. So, if reducing your carbon footprint is a priority, an EV might be the better choice.

Most EVs are sold with 8 to 10-year warranties on their batteries and electric motors. That said, like other vehicles, EVs are expected to last as long as similar petrol or diesel vehicles e.g. around 15 years (or equivalent in terms of total kilometres driven e.g. 180,000-200,000 km)
