More and more people are turning their attention to electric vehicles (EV) as more manufacturers start to produce them. EVs have come a long way since they first started making them decades ago. Now, people can climb into an EV and go on a legitimate road trip. This is becoming a reality because of the charging networks that are being installed throughout the country. Burley Electrical Services is here to talk about some of the advantages of an EV, and why you need to have a home charging station installed in your garage when you take ownership of one.
Advantages of Owning an EV
There are several advantages that come from owning an EV. Today, we would like to talk about a couple of them.
– Savings: Many people are drawn to an EV because they can save a considerable amount of money in gas each month. This is especially true for those that commute to work. You will pay only a fraction of the cost per mile when you compare the amount of money it takes to charge an EV and the money it takes to fill up a car with gas. The savings is something that is undeniable.
– Environment: There are many people that are looking for ways that they can make changes to help the environment. Driving an EV is one of them. You don’t create the same fossil fuels that a gas powered vehicle does. Sure, there are some fossil fuels used to manufacture the car, but after that, the car is pretty clean to drive. This can be especially true in households that run off of solar panels.
– Travel: In the past, you couldn’t travel in an EV. That just isn’t the case anymore. You can do anything in an EV that you can in a gas powered vehicle as far as traveling to see sights. The charging network throughout the country has gotten to a place where you probably won’t see much of a difference. Most EVs can charge quickly as well so you don’t spend too much time at any one charging spot.
Importance of a Home Charging Station
Where you see the real savings with your EV is when you can charge it at home. If you are relying on public charging stations, you aren’t going to see nearly the same savings as you would if you had a home charging station. Having a 240v outlet installed in your garage is a must if you are driving an EV.
