⛽ Pros of Petrol Cars
- Lower upfront costs
- Wider fueling network
- Longer range in remote areas
- More models available under $30,000
🚧 EV Challenges in 2025
- Charging infrastructure still expanding
- Longer recharge times vs petrol refuels
- Higher purchase price
🏁 Verdict: What Should You Buy?
If you're driving mostly in cities, have a home charger, and care about the environment — EVs are a great long-term investment. For rural drivers or those with lower budgets, petrol still holds value in 2025.
