As per a recent study, by driving electric cars and SUVs, owners can save about $1,000 on average every year. This is because these vehicles are much cheaper in the long run due to massive savings on fuel, which keeps becoming increasingly expensive over time. Additionally, electric vehicles are also incredibly affordable, convenient, and easy to maintain. Here are some electric cars that offer the best bang for the buck:
Chevrolet Bolt EV
The Chevrolet Bolt is an extremely affordable and practical electric hatchback with a punchy engine that produces 200 horsepower. This can propel this little car from 0 to 60 mph in an impressive 6.5 seconds. More importantly, the car can cover about 259 miles on a single charge. Priced at $26,595, the Bolt comes with a host of safety equipment like front pedestrian braking, forward collision alert, Chevy Safety Assist, automatic emergency braking, distance indicator for a vehicle the driver may be following, auto high beams that adjust to traffic conditions, and lane keep assist system. Buyers also get conveniences such as a built-in 10.2-inch tablet with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration and a dedicated mobile app to inform users about the car’s battery status.
Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf, like the Bolt, has a frugal electric motor that produces 214 horsepower and gives the car a respectable top speed of 106 mph (on the SV Plus variant). Buyers can choose from two variants: the S and SV Plus. While the S offers a range of 149 miles on a full charge, the SV Plus comes with a more impressive 212-mile range. In terms of value, the car has features like an 8-inch infotainment system with built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), airbags, a six-speaker audio system, and remote charging activation. The last feature lets owners turn on the air-conditioning remotely in their Leaf EV. All these aspects make the Nissan Leaf one of the most economical and reliable electric cars one can buy today. What’s more? The EV is reasonably priced at $$27,800.
Tesla Model Y
Any list of top electric vehicles is incomplete without a Tesla on it. The Model Y proves that cars that offer the “best value” do not need to be the cheapest option. Instead, they can be loaded with features and provide the best buying and owning experience. The Model Y is a luxury electric SUV that offers a range of 303 to 326 miles on a single charge. The Model Y’s engine can generate 384 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. All that power can take the car from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds and deliver a top speed of 135 mph. On the inside, this five-seater has arguably the best infotainment system that drivers can access through a large touchscreen system on the dashboard. Its fun-to-drive nature and a large number of features and safety equipment make this electric car a great option. The Tesla Model Y is priced at $67,190.
Ford F-150 Lightning
The F-150 Lightning merges the practicality and modernity of electric vehicles with a big, old-school pickup truck. While the vehicle retains its characteristic design and rugged off-road ability, it has an electric motor producing 426 horsepower and a monumental 775 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, the F-150 Lightning can cover 332 miles on a full charge. The truck also retains its flexible folding rear seats and towing capabilities. On top of that, it offers key features such as lane keep assist, multiple airbags, adaptive headlamps, traction control, and stability control. Other key conveniences like heated mirrors, a six-speaker audio system, a 12-inch infotainment screen, and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity make it a value-for-money option priced at $55,974 to $96,874.
Volkswagen ID.4
The ID.4 is an electric SUV available at a starting price of $40,723. Its roomy interiors, functionality, and premium comfort make the SUV worth the price. This electric car has a slightly smaller battery than its predecessor, so it has a single-charge range of 208 miles, compared to the 275 mile-range of the older model. Nevertheless, the ID.4 has a spacious, high-quality cabin and a long list of advanced features. Buyers get pedestrian detection, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, curve adaptive headlamps, an around-view camera, and a power trunk/liftgate, making the ID.4 one of the best electric SUVs of 2023.
Kia Niro EV
Kia’s Niro EV is a trendy crossover SUV that can cover 280 miles on a single charge. Its price range, between $39,550 and $44,550, is steep for a crossover SUV. However, the Nero makes up for the pricing with its long list of standard features, including driver attention alert, a pre-and post-collision safety system, stability, lane following assist, a blind-spot collision warning system, and rear cross-traffic avoidance assist system. One also gets features like standard ABS, airbags, and traction control.
All the vehicle prices listed in this article are subject to change. Apart from these six EVs, other incredible electric cars and electric SUVs for 2023 are the Hyundai Kona Electric, Rivian R1S, Volvo XC40 Recharge, and the Mini Hardtop 2 Door.
There are various parameters set by our body which is to be met, and this serves as an indication of whether all our organs are in their optimum form. Our blood pressure, our blood sugar levels, creatinine levels, etc. are supposed to be within the accepted range which is an indicator that we are healthy.
People are familiar with the concepts of blood pressure and blood sugar levels. However, people remain a little less-informed on the need to maintain normal creatinine levels. So, in order to up your knowledge about creatinine and why it is imperative to maintain normal creatinine levels, keep reading.
What is creatinine?
In simple words, creatinine is the chemical waste molecule that is a result of muscle metabolism. However, the mere presence of creatinine doesn’t indicate that the body is functioning abnormally. Every individual has creatinine in the body since it is a by-product of the wear and tear of the muscles. This creatinine is flushed out of the body by our kidneys, and thus normal creatinine levels are maintained in the body.
Why is it necessary to maintain normal creatinine levels?
Even creatinine levels function the same way blood sugar and blood pressure levels function. Unless normal creatinine levels are maintained, one cannot say that they are in perfect health. As mentioned earlier, creatinine is a waste product, and like every other waste material, it has to exit the body. The kidneys are assigned the role of cleansing the body of creatinine. However, after a blood check or a urine check, if the reports show high creatinine levels, this indicates that there’s something wrong with the kidneys.
Unless measures are taken to reduce creatinine levels, higher creatinine levels can result in kidney failure or some degenerative kidney disorder. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain drugs are known to increase the creatinine levels in the body. Unless measures are taken to maintain normal creatinine levels, the person is at risk of renal failure.
What are the normal creatinine levels?
Since the production of creatinine is a result of muscle metabolism, men have higher creatinine levels owing to greater muscle tissues. The level of creatinine can be determined by a blood check and a urine test. The normal creatinine levels for men, women, and children are as follows.
Normal blood creatinine levels are-
Normal urine creatinine levels-
Once the creatinine level exceeds the normal level, it is imperative that steps are taken to reduce creatinine levels.

Like the European football, American football has two 11 member teams, and that’s what is only similar between both the games. The gameplay technique parts its way from the European football. A team that has the possession of the football is called as offense. This team tries to take the ball down the field by running with the ball or throwing it. A goal is considered scored when the player crosses the line of the goal and gets into the area called end zone.
The opposite team (which also has 11 players) is called the defense. Being the defending team, it tries to stop the opponent team from scoring a goal by trying to make it give up the possession of the ball. If the opponent team (that is running with the ball) gives up the possession and the defending team scores, then in the next round offensive and defensive teams switch roles. This happens back and forth, until four quarters of the game have been played.
Game time
The game is divided into four quarters, with each quarter being 15 minutes long. The half-time (which is end of 2 quarters) is separated by a 12-minute break. There are also 2 minute breaks at the end of first and third quarters. The second half starts with a kickoff in the same way the game had begun in the first quarter. At the end of first and third quarter, the team with the ball retains possession and advances into the following quarter.
The clock stops when the player goes out of bounds, and when a penalty is called. The clock starts again when the ball is re-spotted by the official.
The team gets penalized if they are unable to snap off the ball for the start of the next play. Each team when playing offensive has 40 seconds for doing so.
If the game is tied at the end of the fourth quarter, a 15-minute over-time period is played, this is called as sudden death. Sudden death is where the first team to score wins. The possession of the ball is determined by a coin toss
Field size
The field spans to 100 yards in length and 53 yards in width. There are little white markings on the field, they are called as yard markers that help the players and officials and spectators alike to keep the track of the ball. The important part of the field is called as the end zone. It is an additional 10 yards (at each ends of the field). When the team with the possession of the ball enters this end zone and does a touchdown, they score points.
