Benefits of Electric Vehicles

The many benefits of electric vehicles make them an increasingly popular choice for a wide variety of Sackville-area drivers. Not only that, but electric vehicles are typically packed full of all the latest advanced tech features which can enhance your ride wherever you drive. Take a look at some of the benefits of electric cars below:

  • Zero Emissions: One of the key environmental benefits of electric cars is zero tailpipe emissions, as most electric cars don’t even have an exhaust system.
  • Renewable Energy: Another environmental benefit of electric cars is that they can use renewable energy. Depending on your location you can take advantage of renewable resources such as solar, wind, or even water.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Full electric vehicles don’t require motor oil so there’s no need for routine oil changes.
  • Quieter Drive: One benefit of electric vehicles that you’ll notice right away is how quiet they can be. Without the noise generated by a traditional internal combustion engine, you’ll enjoy a smooth and serene ride on the roads in and around Bedford.
  • Performance: Today’s electric vehicles are capable of producing near-instantaneous torque so you can enjoy thrilling acceleration on your drives.

What to Do Before Buying an EV

  1. Prepare Your Garage: Charging stations are becoming more numerous, but your primary charging method will most likely be at home. Research your options (Level 1 and Level 2 charging setups offer different charging times) to prepare your garage for home charging, then have your EV charging system installed.
  2. Find Local Charging Stations: Map out a list of charging stations from companies like PlugShare or ChargeHub in addition to any brand-specific chargers you can use based on the particular EV you drive. It’s especially helpful to know where stations are when traveling long-distance, but knowing where local chargers are can be very helpful as well.
  3. Explore Incentives: EVs are often eligible for more incentives and tax credits than gasoline cars. In fact, you may be able to secure an incentive of up to $5,000 just by buying an electric car!
