A car is one of the main needs of people to do all kinds of activities. In this era, it has really changed from the existence of conventional cars so that it has evolved into electric cars.
Many countries are competing to produce electric-powered cars. This electric car is a car that is driven by electricity because of the energy stored in the battery.
One of the problems that Indonesia faces is air pollution, where Indonesia ranks number 1 in Asia and ranks 17th in the world as the most polluted country. This is due to the presence of gas emissions produced by car or motorbike vehicles, factory smoke pollution, and so on.With the production of this electric car, Indonesia hopes that in the future it can reduce pollution in various regional areas, so that air quality in Indonesia can be maintained and will improve again. Comparison of Electric and Conventional Cars This certainly reaps a lot of comparisons between conventional cars and electric cars. As we know that conventional cars use gasoline.

Gasoline cars are a contributor to one of the largest air pollution in Indonesia due to gas emissions. The advantage is that in Indonesia, the price of petrol cars is still very cheap, if we compare it with the electric cars currently on the market. Electric cars also have several advantages, namely the sound is not noisy, cars are more environmentally friendly, and more cost-effective maintenance. Even though electric cars have many advantages, the price of electric cars in Indonesia is still very expensive and charging stations are also very rare in Indonesia, so it is very difficult for us to travel far out of town.
Many people think that electric cars are cars with environmentally friendly vehicles, but many people don't know that electric cars are actually not entirely environmentally friendly. Because the battery itself is created through a power source that uses fossil energy, and uses coal.
However, at least if we compare electric cars and gasoline cars, they are still more environmentally friendly because these vehicles do not produce emissions, only in the production of batteries that are not environmentally friendly. So, even though electric cars are not entirely environmentally friendly, their impact is still not as bad as gasoline cars because electric cars do not emit gas and are very go green. Not only that, if you take into account the daily costs of electric cars, they are much cheaper than gasoline cars. This can be a consideration for people who want to buy a new vehicle, where the daily costs will be much cheaper if you use an electric car.
