Benefits of Electric Cars

Your commute is just a commute, right? Moline drivers who want to help the environment, get more torque, or just straight up avoid the pump should take a second look at electric cars. The environmental benefits of electric cars like the Bolt EV are just the beginning. You’re also getting vastly increased fuel economy and no more trips to the gas station ever again. With the right equipment, you might not even have to go to a charging station outside the home. Read on and let Green Family Chevrolet tell you all about the benefits of electric cars and why a new car from us is the way to go.

Benefits of Electric Vehicles

If you’re a Rock Island driver looking for something new, we have to tell you all about the benefits of electric cars. A lot of people think it’s going to be a huge lifestyle shift to accommodate one, but we think that when you see what it entails, you might be more receptive to owning one. You’re seeing more and more of them on local streets for a good reason! Here’s just a few benefits of electric vehicles:

• Zero emissions. This is the one everyone thinks of. When you drive an electric car, there’s no tailpipe emissions because there isn’t an exhaust system in most circumstances.
• Reduced maintenance. Since there’s no moving parts in the engine, that means no engine oil is used, which means you don’t need to get an oil change.
• Quieter drive. A lot of people drive internal combustion vehicles that make a lot of engine noise. However, an electric car means a quieter overall driving experience.
• That torque! You get nearly instant torque when you drive an electric car. The first time you sit in one and hit the gas, it’ll be an experience you never forget.
• Easy installation of home infrastructure. If you’ve got a “dryer plug” (220 volts) in your garage, you’re already ready for EV. If not, it’s only a few hundred bucks to get the necessary infrastructure installed in most cases.
• Tax incentives. Across the country, you get a significant tax credit for buying a new EV. In certain states, you get even more!
