What Can Go Wrong With Electric Cars

To most people, electric cars are the future. They save you money. They don’t pollute the environment. They aren’t noisy. They look cool. However, there are things in the technology that electric cars use that CAN go wrong. I’m not saying that they WILL inevitably go wrong. These are just the things that they see might go wrong. Here’s the list:

• Cruise Control
• Anti-lock Brakes
• Engine Control Module
• Door locks
• Power Steering
• Electronic Throttle Control
• Vehicle data bus

These things actually can go wrong with petrol powered cars. So I don’t see this as a big deal which they can’t fix or improve on when they start mass producing.
