Why Go Electric?

A few years ago, no one would’ve even considered going electric, but with the increasing prices of gasoline, people are slowly reconsidering. Electric vehicles, also known as a plug-in vehicle,  gets most or all of its juice from an electrical outlet rather than from a gas pump. You can wind up saving a fortune at the pump. Electric motors have very few moving parts and don’t need engine oil, anti-freeze or transmission fluid. Plug-in vehicles require relatively little maintenance and are far less likely to leak. Another great advantage of EV’s  is that they’re quiet, smooth and tend to have faster acceleration than normal vehicles. Electricity can come from clean energy sources, such as wind power, solar power, and geothermal power. Here are a few advantages of going green:

  • Saving Money – Since you use electricity to power your EV, you won’t have to worry about shelling out a few extra dollars, as the gas prices continue to fluctuate. The most expensive maintenance item is likely to be the battery, which has a limited lifespan. As technology continues to advance, so will the future lifespan of the batteries. In addition to saving money at the pump, you may be eligible for a federal income tax credit, which varies based on the capacity of the battery used to fuel the vehicle.
  • A Greener Environment – Electric vehicles drastically reduce carbon emissions, significantly decrease noise pollution, reduce oil, transmission fluid, and other hazardous fluids. The end result is a greener environment, with less pollution contaminating the air we breathe. Natural resources help increase the overall lifespan of the EV, which means that you also don’t have to rely on expensive maintenance fees. You can recharge your EV at any local recharging station as well.
  • Overall Performance – Electric motors provide quiet, smooth operation and stronger acceleration and require less maintenance than Internal Combustion Engines or ICE’s. You also don’t have to breath in those horrible fumes emitted by your engine, which can cause serious health problems over time.

The most popular EV’s are the Toyota Prius and Nissan LEAF. Other plug-in vehicles include, the Chevy Volt, Ford Focus Electric, and the Tesla Model S. Car manufacturers are constantly improving their technology to help bring more attention to their EV lineups.
