Sales of electric cars are growing at a high rate, despite falling demand for cars in general. The popularity of electric-powered cars is understandable, one of the factors driving consumers – lower costs. Buying a Tesla electric car is now affordable to many, as the manufacturer has reduced the prices of the Model 3, Model S and Model X, except for the Model Y. Electric cars are economical and unambiguously greener in terms of harmful emissions when compared to standard cars with internal combustion engines. The new generation of motorists prefer to buy more environmentally friendly cars or not at all. Tesla cars symbolise scientific progress and respect for nature.

So why do some consumers not believe that electric cars are the future and are wary of buying them or not considering an electric car as a personal vehicle at all?

The reason for the mistrust and doubt is simple and valid – any car, and an electric car is no exception, requires constant maintenance. There is one major deterrent – the absence or paucity of specialised service stations for electric vehicles.

But fortunately, this is changing. Many workshops are acquiring specialised equipment for electric vehicles in order to provide quality service to their owners.
