It seems like every day more and more electric vehicles are on the roads, but an engineering professor at Virginia Tech said we are still a long way from the end of gasoline.
He tells us when driving electric vehicles, it’s not as simple as just hopping in your car and going, it requires a bit more planning.
You have to make sure your battery is charged, and you will need to map out where charging stations are.
“When I first bought [my electric car] I thought I made the wrong decision because of the planning and so forth,” said Hesham Rakha, professor of engineering at Virginia Tech. “Now that I have gotten used to that planning, I’m actually comfortable with it.”
He said while moving to fully electric vehicles would be a big adjustment, electric-hybrid cars could be your first step.
