The Case for Petrol: Why Traditional Engines Still Have an Edge As the conversation around electric vehicles (EVs) grows, it’s important to remember that petrol-powered vehicles still offer significant advantages in certain scenarios. While EVs present exciting possibilities for the future, there are several reasons why petrol engines remain a compelling choice: ⛽ Infrastructure Readiness: Petrol stations are ubiquitous, offering quick and easy refueling, especially in areas where charging infrastructure is still developing. 🏎️ Performance: Petrol engines provide a proven track record of performance, with many enthusiasts valuing the driving experience and power delivery that comes with combustion engines. 🔧 Proven Technology: With over a century of development, petrol engines are reliable, with a well-established supply chain for parts and maintenance. 🌍 Range and Convenience: Petrol vehicles generally offer longer ranges and faster refueling times, making them more convenient for long trips and areas with limited EV charging options. While the future is undoubtedly leaning towards electrification, it’s essential to consider the current benefits that petrol vehicles offer. The automotive landscape is diverse, and for many, petrol remains the practical and preferred choice. #AutomotiveIndustry #PetrolVsElectric #Performance #Infrastructure #VehicleTechnology NATH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY (NSBT) Sanvedi Rane Harsh Vardhan Jajoo
