In some people's mind, a car without the thundering sound from an engine can only be called a toy. I understand that they really don't like electric cars. Maybe they are right if we think of driving as a sport, because I never saw an electric car compete in a race. A gas powed car with an excellent gearbox usually makes somebody feel excited. As for common people, we usually consider the money we spend on a car (or 'the cost of a car'). In that case, an electric car is economic. A new thing usually comes along with other problems. The advantages of electric cars made the price of used-cars（gas powed cars）drop in order to keep a certain market share. Common people have more choices to reduce their cost on a vehicle. After all, an used car is much cheaper than a new electric car. In addition, if you don't live near a charging station, charging your car is another very annoying problem. I have seen someone put a foldable scooter in their trunk. After charging their car in a place that is a bit far from their home, they ride the scooter back home. But you should make sure that there is enough room to hold a scooter in your trunk. In fact, after we solve the problem about charging, we have to think about how to get rid of the used batteries in the future!
