Even with many major car manufacturers committing to invest in making electric vehicles (EVs) their priority, some consumers are still on the fence. Is this you?
“I’m worried I will run out of charge too soon.” Many new electric vehicles can be driven over 250 miles on one charge. Have a crazy day of carpool duty or a commute into Sacramento? No problem!
“I can just plug my EV into a regular outlet.” Careful here. Charging at home requires a specific charging cable that prevents power outage and overheating. In addition, you need to make sure the outlet is near your car, as you may never use an extension cable to charge your car. Even if you take these precautions, charging from a regular outlet is highly discouraged, as most residential buildings aren't wired to carry high electrical draw.
“They are too expensive.” There are multiple ways you save with an EV. Electricity is (usually) less expensive than gas. There are fewer moving parts which can mean less to repair. And right now there are multiple rebates when you purchase an electric vehicle and/or an EV charger for your home. You’ll get a tax credit for the EV charger too — but hurry, it expires this year!
