Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles help save the planet. But they’re also cheaper, easier to maintain, and fun to drive. Learn all about what EVs are and whether owning one is right for you.

What are EVs?

Electric vehicles are cars that use an electric motor rather than an internal combustible engine. Since they use little to no gas, you’re contributing to fewer emissions, saving money, and may be eligible for tax incentives.

There are three types of EVs with varying degrees of reliance on battery power. Which EV is right for you?

Benefits of EVs

There are many reasons to drive an EV, such as:

• Save money: Weekly gas trips to fuel your car can be quite expensive. EVs only require you to charge your battery to keep it running.
• Reduce emissions: Carbon dioxide emissions from gas engines continue to be greenhouse gases that go into the atmosphere. Electric motors don’t release carbon dioxide.
• Easy to maintain: Electric vehicles don’t require oil changes or other lubricants that would be needed for gas engines.
• Smooth driving: Electric engines generates a high level of torque which provides smooth acceleration to the wheels.
• Tax reduction: The government provides tax incentives to those who make the shift to electric cars from fuel-oriented cars
