What are the Benefits of Electric Cars?

Enhanced practicality, safety, and efficiency are all great reasons to consider going electric, and we haven’t even touched on the environmental benefits of electric cars yet. Put simply, there are a long list of reasons why electric cars are increasingly seen as the future, but they boil down to electric vehicles just being better overall in most use cases for Dayton drivers. And that’s not even counting the rapid pace of EV technology evolution. Internal combustion engines, or ICE, have had a century of development and are reaching the end of their upgrade path, while moden electric cars are just getting started.

Benefits of Electric Vehicles

Here are some of the highlight benefits of electric cars that Springfield and Sidney drivers care about most: 

• Zero Emissions: Even if powered by electricity from a non-renewable source, electric cars don’t emit anything, while using that energy more efficiently than an ICE powered vehicle would.
• Renewable Energy: The full environmental benefits of electric vehicles, or EVs, are felt when they are powered by renewable sources. In that instance, there are no pollutants generated at all.
• Reduced Maintenance: Full electric vehicles don’t have reciprocating engine parts, and also do away with a large range of other mechanical components, so they are far less maintenance intensive.
• Quieter Drive: Instead of being powered by explosions, electric vehicles are powered by magnetic flux, so they are far quieter than standard combustion engine powered vehicles.
• Performance: Because of the aforementioned magnetic flux propulsion, electric motors offer instant power on demand at any time, much faster than engines can mechanically deliver power.

What to Do Before Buying an EV

1. Prepare Your Garage: To get the maximum benefit from your EV, if you have a garage you should opt for a home charger. These come with most EVs, and are best when paired with an upgraded electrical connection for the garage from an electrician. With a home charger, you can wake up to a fully charged EV every morning.
2. Find Local Charging Stations: If you don’t have a garage, see where local charging stations are ahead of time to see how practical an EV can be for you. 
3. Explore Incentives: EVs often have available incentives and tax credits, up to a $7,500.
