Benefits of Electric Cars

Gas prices aren’t going down any time soon, so owning an EV can help you save when you charge your electric car or EV at home. From the environmental benefits of electric cars to the reduced maintenance costs of EVs, we’re certain you’ll love having an EV in your Chester garage. Learn more about the benefits of electric vehicles with this guide from Susanville Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, and consider switching to an EV today!

Five Main Benefits of Electric Vehicles

There are plenty of benefits of electric cars and adding one to your Standish lifestyle is easier than you think. Benefits of electric cars include:

Zero Emissions

One of the biggest environmental benefits of electric cars is that there are no carbon emissions whatsoever. Good luck finding a tailpipe on an EV because there isn’t one! No internal combustion engine means no exhaust system and no exhaust.

Renewable Energy

Another environmental benefit of electric cars is that they can be powered by green energy. If your home or utility company utilizes solar, wind, or even hydroelectric to generate electricity, your purchase becomes even more environmentally friendly.

Reduced Maintenance

Are you ready for the decreased maintenance costs that come from fully electric vehicles? You can leave behind these regular maintenance tasks:

• Oil changes
• Transmission fluid changes
• Radiator flushes and fills
• Spark plug replacements
• Gasket replacements
• Battery replacements every 50,000 miles

Quieter Drive

You’ll have a much more serene ride on long road trips as you head to your next adventure. Electric vehicles don’t have any engine noise, so there’s less noise in the cabin.

Outstanding Performance

Electric motors are capable of producing near-instantaneous torque as soon as you step on the accelerator. Even better, some EVs accelerate to 60 mph faster than many internal combustion engines. There are plenty of other benefits of electric vehicles, whether you want a new or used vehicle to add to your Susanville garage. 

What Do I Need to Do Before Buying an EV?

Before buying an EV for your family, you need to take care of a few things.

• Prepare Your Garage: When you choose an EV, you can receive convenient and cheaper-than-gas home charging with a professionally installed Level 2 charging box. It gives you the ability to charge your EV to full capacity overnight while you sleep, and it’s ready to go in the morning! You’ll need an electrician to install this special box in your garage. Even so, it’s still cheaper than gasoline.
• Find Local Charging Stations: Map out a list of charging stations around Susanville for your daily commutes and weekly errands. Don’t worry, there are plenty of charging stations across the country and along major routes when you need to charge on long road trips during the summer.
• Explore Incentives: Both the federal government and local governments offer incentives to buy EVs. Check with our finance team at Susanville Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM to see what’s available.
