Benefits of Buying Electric

If you’re thinking about buying an electric vehicle, then it’s important to know just exactly what you get for your money. Fortunately, EVs offer an impressive array of benefits that put them head and shoulders above the average gas-powered vehicle:

• No gas is needed. Say goodbye to the gas pump, as every journey in your EV becomes a gas-free experience. Today’s EVs can travel up to 300 miles on a single charge.

• Easier upkeep. Electric motors don’t need tune-ups or oil changes, making them much easier to maintain than equivalent gas engines. Fewer messy parts to maintain also equals lower service costs.

• Eco-friendly. Driving an EV lets you play an active part in reducing pollution where you live and work. Unlike gasoline, electric power can come from renewable resources (solar, hydro, etc.).

• Better convenience. Owning an EV makes the hassle and inconvenience of handling a gas nozzle a thing of the past. Now you can charge up whenever it’s convenient for you. In some states, you can even take advantage of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to bypass traffic, even if you’re the only one in the vehicle.

• Shockingly affordable. Various state and federal incentives and rebates mean you can save upfront whenever you’re ready to buy your next EV.

• Exceptionally quiet. If you value a serene driving experience, you’ll be impressed with how quietly the typical electric car runs. Of course, a growing number of EVs now come with features to help alert pedestrians to an EV’s presence.

• Impressive acceleration. Electric motors deliver their maximum torque at virtually 0 RPM, giving them acceleration power you can definitely feel. Passing maneuvers and onramp merges are no problem in an EV.
