Electric vehicles – “EVs” – are all over the media these days. They’re the next wave of cars and trucks, so what sets them apart from your standard-issue gas-powered vehicle? Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is proud to represent the fine EVs made by Toyota and offers this list of the great benefits of electric vehicles. Check it out.
A CLEANER, GREENER PLANET
The main appeal to driving an EV is how it benefits the environment. Electric vehicles produce fewer climate-changing emissions. They don’t require gas or motor oil, derived from fossil fuels. Plus, their batteries can be recycled, something that Toyota has worked to ensure is done efficiently and easily.
DRIVERS SAVE MONEY
You’re not spending money on gas – so there’s that. But EVs also don’t need the kind of maintenance (and ensuing costs) that a regular vehicle does. And the other good news? There are tax incentives for buying an electric vehicle that make it appealing to your bottom line.
A LOT LESS MAINTENANCE
Unlike gas-powered vehicles, EVs don’t need oil changes, spark plugs or gas filter replacements. Brakes on an EV last longer, well over 100,000 miles due to their regenerative braking design. Compare that to a standard combustion engine vehicle, where brakes need to be replaced every 20,000 to 60,000 miles.
A FUN (AND DIFFERENT) DRIVING EXPERIENCE
Electric vehicles respond differently than gas-powered engines. This means you get faster acceleration and speed versus the slower response of a standard vehicle.
GREATER CONVENIENCE
With an EV, having to swing by a gas station is a thing of the past. Most owners just plug in at home or have a mechanic install a high-power charger that works faster. Plus, more and more quick-charging stations are popping up cross-country. Another bonus? EV owners often get their own parking spaces at work, shopping malls, and other places. You’re saving time avoiding the gas station or looking for a place to park. How sweet is that?
