Advantages of electric power steering system:-
Electric power steering has increased fuel economy.This is because hydraulic systems operate via a belt-driven pump to move the hydraulic fluid in the steering gear. This puts extra load on the engine, something electric setups do far less
electric power steering is a lot lighter to use than hydraulic systems, meaning less muscle is needed to turn the wheel.
Electric power steering needs less maintainance as it does not involve any fuel.
Electric power steering consumes power from battery which is also charged by engine,so it gives more mileage than those of hydraulic system.
