Over the last several years, car manufacturers are looking for ways to make electric vehicles more affordable to purchase. While some drivers may be skeptical, more and more people are finding that there are several benefits to owning and driving an electric vehicle. Making the choice to switch over to an EV is a big one. Simon Electric is here to share the many pros to owning an EV.
Maintenance Free Driving
Everyone knows how frustrating it can be when you are replacing one thing after another on your vehicle just so you can continue to drive it. When you drive an electric vehicle, there isn’t a gas powered engine. Without this, you don’t have to worry about even the smallest amount of maintenance including oil changes, belt problems and many more working parts that can have issues. With an electric vehicle, your biggest concern is your battery health and the rotation of your tires.
Cut Down the Cost of Driving with an Electric Car
The biggest, most obvious answer when it comes to the benefits to owning an EV is the savings in gas. While you still have to pay for the kilowatts that you use to charge your EV battery, it doesn’t come close to the amount of money you spend on filling up your car with gas. You will see a small rise in your energy bill each month, but can celebrate what can be hundreds of dollars in fuel cost savings.
Environmental Benefits of Owning an Electric Car
For those that are looking for ways to save our planet, choosing to drive an EV is huge. An EV is a zero emissions vehicle so you don’t have to feel guilty about driving it everywhere. Many EV manufacturers are making their EV as green as possible by using recycled materials in the making of the vehicle.
High Performance Electric Vehicle
If you have never driven an EV, you may not realize how much power they have. Without a gas powered engine, they have a much quicker response time. The ride is smooth and seems effortless as they zip down the road as soon as you give them the command. Not only are EVs high performance vehicles, but they are also silent while running. There can be some road noise from the tires and if you have the climate control turned on, it can cause some noise as well. By in large though, they are virtually silent as they drive down the road.
