The use of electric automobiles is increasing but, there are some challenges to large-scale adoption. One major advantage of electric vehicles is that they use renewable sources to provide energy, as opposed to internal combustion vehicles which rely completely on nonrenewable sources. Which of the following considerations is another advantage of electric vehicles?

It takes more time to recharge a battery system than it does to fill a gasoline tank.
The number of charging stations is limited compared to the number of places providing gasoline.
Electric motors are less complex than gasoline engines, so they do not require as much maintenance.
The batteries used by electric vehicles are large and heavy, so they take up more space in the vehicle than a gasoline tank.

The statement that represents another advantage of electric vehicles is:

"Electric motors are less complex than gasoline engines, so they do not require as much maintenance."

This suggests that electric vehicles can have lower maintenance costs and fewer mechanical issues compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.
