Are the Perks to Owning an Electric Vehicle?

There are many advantages to owning an electric vehicle, such as the cost, environmental impacts, and less required maintenance. Let’s further explore these benefits below:

• Cost of Owning an EV: Cars can be major money pits, but this isn’t the case for EVs. As a whole, electric cars are more affordable to maintain than their gasoline counterparts. 
• Cutting-Edge Technology: EVs include information displays with systems that monitor energy usage, in addition to other cutting-edge technologies.
• Environmental Impacts of Owning an EV: Charging your EV “on the grid” means that you’re still tied to fossil fuels. However, you can also use solar, wind, or other renewable sources of charging for a zero-emissions ownership experience! 
• Maintenance Required for EV Ownership: Gas-powered cars have to keep up with services like oil changes, transmission flushes, and more. EVs require less maintenance.

Things to Know Before Buying A Mercedes-Benz Hybrid

Get Your Garage Ready for Your EV

Owning an electric vehicle is becoming more popular, but you won’t find as many charging stations as there are gas stations around the Stockton area. Make sure your garage is ready by learning what kind of charging station (i.e., Level 1 or Level 2) you’re eligible for. Contact us if you have any questions.

While you can charge your vehicle at home, knowing where your local public charging stations help when you’re in a pinch. Plus, public charging stations often charge your vehicle much faster than at-home charging stations.
