Electric vehicles (EVs) are fun to drive, cheaper and easier to maintain than gas-powered vehicles, and contribute fewer emissions into the air. With tax incentives available and a fast-growing network of charging stations, find out if an EV is right for you.
Electric Vehicle Options
Battery Electric
Fully electric cars offer the smallest environmental footprint, and are known to provide drivers the most savings on maintenance and fuel.
Plug-In Hybrid
Plug-in hybrids have a rechargeable electric motor and a gas-powered engine to extend range if needed.
Traditional Hybrid
Powered by an electric motor and gas-powered engine, Hybrids recharge as you drive. Tax credits and other benefits may not apply.
Benefits of Electric Vehicles
Their are many benefits to owning an electric vehicle. The Federal Tax Rebate of $7,500 is available on many EV models. Also, other savings may be available from the driver’s state or utility company. EV owners can expect to spend half as much on maintenance and repair costs (Consumer Reports), and you can charge your vehicle from home while you sleep, work, or even charge your vehicle at a growing number of public chargers. Electric vehicles can also provide fast and smooth acceleration, better handling, and a quieter riding vehicle. Plug-in Hybrid options provide the best of both worlds for shoppers that want the flexibility of both gas and electric. According to Source: AAA 96% of EV owners surveyed said they’d purchase another EV as their next vehicle.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Charging times vary depending of the type of charger used.
Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and charge about 2-5 miles of range per hour, making Level 1 a good choice for plugin hybrid vehicles but not battery electric vehicles.
Level 2 chargers can be installed at your home by a professional electrician and charge about 10-20 miles of range per hour. A good choice for any EV when charging overnight or all-day is possible.
Level 3 fast chargers are the most efficient and can be found at commercial locations. Level 3 can charge about 60-80 miles of range in about 20 minutes, making it a good choice for any EV when a quick charge is needed on the go
Charging from Home
For plugin hybrid vehicles a standard outlet (Level 1) will be enough for overnight charging. For battery electric vehicles, a Level 2 charger will require professional installation by a licensed electrician. If you live in an apartment or condo, consider talking with the property owner about installing a charger or use a nearby public charger. Talk to our sales staff to find out more about charging from home.
EV Battery Care
Most batteries will last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles when properly cared for. With battery technology continually advancing, that number will continue to increase. If you can keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged most days and avoid extremely hot temperatures, you can expect your maintenance to be minimal.
