Are you ready to upgrade or switch to an Electric Vehicle?
If you are thinking more seriously about buying an electric car now that gas prices are revving up, don't worry, almost all people have the same thinking as you.
After owning a traditional gas-powered car, buying an EV is like going from a landline to a smartphone, but a little more complicated. Actually, with an EV, that is basically the same. But you get the gist: one does not simply buy an electric car.
Here's a list that might help you before driving the EV of your dream:
Maintenance
One brilliant thing about electric cars is that they need very little maintenance than a combustion engine car. Gone will be the days of oil changes, and with about 10% the number of parts, more minor things are to wear out.
If you're wondering about a comparison between ownership costs, there are many studies out there that suggest owning an electric car can cost less than owning a combustion engine car, even though the EV costs more to buy.
Charging
Charging an EV is as easy as charging a smartphone. Pumping up the battery of your car at home overnight is pretty standard. Depending on the size of your battery, the process can take overnight or longer if it is pretty flat. Plugging in at the shops, you can top up the driving range of your EV at a rate of between 30-120km an hour, depending on the internal maximum charging rate of the model you buy.
Deals and Discounts
If you're wondering about a comparison between ownership costs, there are many studies out there that suggest owning an electric car can cost less than owning a combustion engine car, even though the EV costs more to buy.
Federal tax credits are available up to US$7,500 for plug-in hybrids, FCEVs and EVs — but not for Tesla and General Motors (GM) vehicles. Those companies have already hit the limit of 200,000 low-emission cars sold, so new purchases no longer qualify for the tax break. Nissan is likely to hit it next.
