Benefits of Electric Cars

The environmental benefits of electric cars are many, as are the general consumer benefits of electric vehicles. Take a moment to get acquainted with the benefits an EV has to offer your Fort Dodge commute:

  • Emissions: Electric vehicles don’t produce emissions, meaning that you’re not harming the climate by driving.
  • Incentives: You could be eligible for up to $7,500 in federal rebates. Furthermore, many states offer additional incentives, and many cities allow you to have complete access to the HOV lane.
  • Renewable Energy: Electric vehicles use electricity, which not only means that you don’t have to pay for gas, but the power you do use can be sourced from wind, solar, and hydrological power sources.
  • Performance: People used to associate EVs and hybrids with reduced performance. This is no longer the case. In fact, supercar brands like McLaren are beginning to build their fastest vehicles yet with battery power.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs: EVs don’t need oil changes, among other common maintenance, so you can expect to spend less money and time at our service garage.
  • Noise Reduction: Where combustion engines are noisy, batteries don’t produce sound.

How to Prepare for Buying An EV

After discovering some of the benefits of an electric car, you’ll be relieved to know that preparing for one is also relatively easy:

  1. Set Up Your Garage: You’ll need to purchase a charging system. Typically, EVs come with a standard level 1 charger, but these are quite slow and meant for passive charging while you’re asleep or milling around the house. It would take days to fully charge your vehicle with a Level 1 charger. Level 2 chargers, however, are capable of getting you a full charge roughly half a day. If you go with level 2, consider having it installed in advance.
  2. Locate Public Charging Stations: Download the PlugShare app to find compatible Level 3 fast-charging stations in your area, so you don’t have to waste time finding a charger next time you need a jolt.
