The rising fuel prices have pushed consumers to consider alternative options, leading to an increase in the sales of electric and CNG-powered vehicles. As of November 2021, the number of electric vehicles sold rose from 12,858 to 42,067 in a year. Similarly, there was a 56% increment in the sales of CNG vehicles between April to November 2021.
However, it is essential to perform a comparison between CNG and electric cars and weigh their advantages and disadvantages to select the correct variant that fits your requirement.
Let us checkout the differences between CNG and electric cars. Go through the following table mentioned below summarising the comparison between the two:

A CNG is an environmental-friendly fuel alternative to petrol and diesel. CNG cars are those that utilise CNG as a fuel to operate.
A cylinder usually placed at the vehicle's boot space stores the natural gas. The heavily pressurised natural gas flows from the fuel tank through fuel lines. The pressure regulator present at the fuel lines lowers the pressure to a level that matches with the engine's fuel injection system.
The fuel is injected into a combustion chamber or intake manifold, where it mixes with air and is compressed. Finally, a spark plug ignites this compressed fuel to operate the vehicle.
Take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of CNG cars:
An electric motor propels an electric car by utilising the energy stored in a battery. As a user, you must plug your electric vehicle into charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment.
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of an electric cars:
If you still have doubts on which one is better then the answer entirely depends upon your requirement. If you are comfortable spending a hefty amount and looking for excellent driving performance with limited travelling on highways, then an electric vehicle is your ideal choice.
Similarly, in the case of budget constraints, you can opt for CNG cars if driving performance is not a priority in the long run. So, check the comparison between CNG vs electric cars mentioned above before purchasing one for yourself.
CNG cars are powered by natural gas, which inturn releases less pollutants than petrol and diesel cars. While being a cheaper alternative to the petrol and diesel variants, it also reduces the cost of maintenance significantly.
