Are you in the market for a new car? This can be exciting as you start looking at all the makes and models you have to choose from. One consideration you may want to think about before you make your purchase, is the prospect of driving an electric vehicle. As EVs start to become more mainstream, more and more people are seeing the long list of benefits that often accompany these vehicles. Burley Electrical Services is here to talk about the benefits that come from driving an EV.
Cut Driving Costs with an Electric Car
There are definitely some obvious costs that can be cut when you are driving an EV. The biggest one being the lack of gasoline. It is much cheaper to pay for the electricity to charge your vehicle than it is to constantly fill up at the pumps. Aside from the cost of fuel, you will find that there are several maintenance costs that are cuts as well. You no longer have to worry about oil changes, engine maintenance and other maintenance costs that really add up in a traditional vehicle. In an EV, there are far less moving parts that you have to worry about constantly breaking. There are several different types of EV that are available to you and there is one that will fit into any budget.
Environment Benefits of Electric Cars
Whether you are driving a full EV or if you are driving a hybrid: which is the combination of an gas powered engine and a battery powered engine, you will be drastically cutting down the emissions that you are putting into the environment. With a full EV, you are looking at zero emissions which is obviously the best, but even a hybrid will cut down the emissions by as much as 70%. The newer the technology is that comes out, the more environmentally safe the batteries are as well.
EV Home Charging Station
One of the best parts of owning an EV is that fact that you no longer have to search for gas pumps to fill your vehicle with the fuel it needs to move. You can simply plug your car in at home and it is ready to go the next day. If you have purchased an EV, you will definitely want to have a level 2 charger installed in your garage so that you can charge your vehicle much faster. You will see that you can charge it more than twice as fast as you can when you are using level 1 charging, 120v or traditional plug. At 220v charger will allow you to plug your vehicle in that night before you need to drive it and within 6-8 hours, you will have a full charge.
