Today, more and more motorists decide to buy an electric car. It must be said that this engine has many advantages, starting with the low cost of recharging, lower than for a full tank of fuel. Not to mention the environmental bonus that the government still offers for cars up to €47,000, as well as the conversion bonus. In addition, drivers also prefer comfort, and the offer is now getting bigger and bigger. In short, today there are many reasons to choose this engine.
There is one exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

A bad surprise
However, we also know that electric cars are not without their flaws and other minor flaws either. Obviously, we mean autonomy and recharging, as well as their still very high price. But that’s not all. Indeed, some motorists may be in for a very unpleasant surprise in the event of an accident. In the event of a collision, even a minimal one, repair of a zero-emission car a bit more complicated than a heat engine. As a result, the drive to the garage is usually longer, but often costs much more. And this is even with a very minor problem, because it is more difficult to diagnose.
Head to the dump
But that’s not all. And it is not for nothing that some electric cars have batteries that cannot be removed and are built into the chassis. However, in the event of an impact, it is impossible to replace them, and sometimes it is impossible to diagnose. In this case it happens like this the vehicle must be scrapped, while the damage was minimal. A big disappointment for the owner, even if the insurance should theoretically compensate him in this case. But we know how complicated the procedures can be.
