Electric Car Buying Guide

Electric vs Gas-Powered Cars: What’s the Difference?

Before purchasing your first electric car, you should understand the difference between EVs and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. For starters, electric cars don’t have an engine. Instead, they’re powered by an electric motor and a rechargeable battery.

Eliminating the ICE means an EV doesn’t require refueling at a gas station and can instead be charged at home or at a public charging station. Without burning fossil fuels, EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions.

Opting to drive an EV can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 4.6 metric tons per passenger vehicle.

Benefits of Driving an Electric Car

Something of importance to know when considering an electric car is the benefits that come with this purchase. One of the biggest perks is eligibility for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. You may also qualify through state-supported organizations for additional credits and rebates, such as a $500 rebate for installing a Level 2 charger in your home.

You may also find you spent less on maintaining your EV than a vehicle with an ICE. That’s because the cost of owning an electric car is typically less. It’s powered by fewer parts, which means that less routine maintenance and automotive repairs are needed to keep it fueling your travels.

These are just a few of the many benefits of driving an electric car. Contact our team to learn about all the benefits today!
