Did you get your EV for Christmas? We posted a few days ago about our EV Charging stations installations.
Electric vehicles (EVs) have several benefits compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. Maybe you didn’t get one for Christmas but plan to soon. Don’t forget we are here to help.
Here are some of the main advantages of EVs:
- Lower operating costs: EVs generally have lower operating costs than gasoline-powered vehicles because they are cheaper to fuel and maintain. EVs use electricity as their primary fuel, which is generally cheaper than gasoline. In addition, EVs have fewer moving parts and are therefore less expensive to maintain over their lifetimes. Some Electric Vehicles come with lifetime warranties on expensive batteries and parts.
- Cleaner energy source: EVs produce zero emissions from their tailpipes, making them a cleaner transportation option. This is particularly beneficial for air quality in urban areas, where the majority of people live and where air pollution is often a major concern. Of course, there is the pollution created by the power station that generates the electricity. As we move further towards nuclear fuel this will become cleaner.
- Quieter operation: EVs are much quieter than gasoline-powered vehicles, which can be a significant advantage in urban areas where noise pollution is a concern.
- Performance benefits: Many EVs offer strong acceleration and can be very responsive, thanks to the instant torque available from their electric motors.
- Increased energy independence: By using electricity as their primary fuel, EVs can reduce a country’s dependence on oil. This can be particularly beneficial for countries that import a significant portion of their oil. Oil will always be with us as it is used in industry but with limited supplies using less of it will help our world keep what reserves we have for centuries to come.
- Government incentives: Many incentives and tax credits encourage the adoption of EVs. These incentives can make EVs more affordable and help to offset their higher upfront costs.
