Electric vehicles come with the following built-in advantages, but most of all they are really fun to drive!
Ease of Ownership
Not only do EVs have tremendous performance, drivers also have the luxury of refueling at home, as opposed to making special stops at a gas station. And the network of quick-charging locations is expanding every day for when you need to travel longer distances
Lower Costs
EVs don’t require engine oil, spark plugs and timing belts so their maintenance costs are generally lower.
You may want to consider a Time of Day (TOD) electric rate class. You can get a lower rate for using electricity during nights and weekends, which is perfect for charging your EV during the middle of the night.
Environmentally Friendly
EVs produce far fewer emissions than standard gas-powered vehicles, and they will continue to be a cleaner source of transportation as the electric grid shifts to a greater mix of renewable energy sources.
Driving Range & Recharge Time
EV range is typically between 150 to more than 400 miles on a full charge. The average American’s daily round-trip commute is less than 30 miles. Fully recharging the battery pack can typically takes 4 to 8 hours, while a "fast charge" to 80% capacity can take just 30 minutes.*
