Drawbacks of Electric Rocket Engines by hardik36 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

In all electric propulsion the source of the electric power (nuclear, solar radiation receivers, or batteries) is physically separate from the mechanism that produces the thrust. Electric rocket propulsion devices use electrical energy for heating and/or directly ejecting propellant, utilizing an energy source that is independent of the propellant itself.The thrust usually is low, typically 0.005 to 1 N. In order to allow a significant increase in the vehicle velocity, it is necessary to apply the low thrus
