As gas prices spiral even higher, you may be looking for alternatives to the traditional gasoline powered car.  If you’re looking at used cars for sale and salvaged vehicles, an electric car might be a better option.  However, in order to know which type is the best used car to buy, you’ll need to do some research. Each type of car has its advantages, depending on what you want and need.  Consider the following points:

• Gas powered used cars are more convenient to refuel and it takes less time than recharging the battery of an electric car. 
• Electric cars are better for the environment since they don’t produce emissions and they reduce the amount of non-renewable resources used by drivers.
• The initial cost of an electric car will be higher than a gas powered used car, but it will be cheaper to run.
• Gas powered cars usually have more features.  However, newer electric models are catching up on this score.
• What is your driving style?  If you use a car mostly for short trips, you’ll spend less on fuel for an electric car.  However, if you love the idea of hitting the open road as often as possible, a gas powered used car is probably your best bet.  That is, at least, until more charging stations are made available for electric cars along highways and in public places.

As you can see, there are several points to consider.  If you still question the viability of an electric car, consider leasing one and comparing the experience to that of driving a gas powered used car.  That way, you can see if it’s the better option without committing to a long-term obligation.  And remember that SalvageWorld.net has an outstanding selection of salvaged vehicles, both electric and gas powered, to choose from.
