Electric VS CNG !!!COMFORT!!!!


Comfort and Convenience
Looking at differences and similarities in convenience and comfort of daily uses in CNG vs. Electric. If same technology applies (e.g. using carbon fiber for body parts for light weight) in engineering vehicles to both types of energy sources the CNG will take advantage. First if we compare the vehicles size the electric cars are smaller lighter which means less space therefore less comfort. To US society where we have a history of largest and softest car production in the world, it is a problem when making a decision. This subject affects immediately the problem of long distance travel. My preferable choice is; if I go to a 2+ hour drive I will choose something big, smooth, roomy and comfy which is always an SUV or a VAN, and those are expensive to fuel up vehicles. If our choice is Electric; then you would have to fuel up every 100-140 miles, this is a major inconvenience, where us the CNG could last us up to 500 miles. Also summer and winter recreational travels are going to be affecting customer’s choice causing advantage toward CNG vehicles. It doesn’t meter weather you are using AC in summer or heater in winter you are hugely depleting batteries’ power. While raising this question the luxury options like: advanced sound system, heated seats, all power option these options are all excluded, but which also will affect customer’s choice.
In general while looking at customers’ preference the CNG will take a higher percentage of choices.
