Is it better to buy a gasoline car or an electric car for a girl's first car?

Gasoline cars may make electric car owners cry when it comes to charging.

As a woman buying her first car, there are a few aspects to consider: First, assess your driving skills. If you've never driven before, it's recommended to start with a used manual transmission car that's inexpensive, maybe a few thousand dollars, and practice for half a year to a year. Don't worry about the manual being complex; it's actually a safeguard. A manual transmission won't let you accidentally hit the wrong pedal and lurch forward. At most, the engine might stall, but it won't cause significant external harm or damage, which is crucial. Once your skills improve, you can trade in the old car with minimal financial loss. Second, consider your driving environment. If your skills are decent and you can handle emergency stops confidently, and if you're just commuting within the city with a fixed parking spot where you can install a charging station, a small electric car might be suitable. However, if you don't drive often, maybe only a few thousand kilometers a year, and lack a regular charging spot, it's better to opt for a fuel car. Models like the Nissan Sylphy or Honda Fit are small and easy to drive. Don't prioritize too much on electronic assistance features, and also consider your budget. Asking here likely means budget is a concern, which is common for most people, myself included. You could also consider models like the Chery Arrizo 5 or Kia Pegas, which can be managed within a budget of five to six thousand dollars.

It's recommended that anyone's first car should be a fuel-powered vehicle. There's no range anxiety, you can go wherever you want, and even if you don't use it often, the battery won't die even if it's left idle for half a year.

For city drives, electric cars. For long-distance, fuel cars. If you need both, go for a hybrid!
