Benefits of Electric Cars

Electric cars continue to grow in popularity. There are plenty of charging stations around North Haven and the surrounding areas. It’s also easy to tap into your home’s power grid with Level 2 charging to fill an electric vehicle’s battery overnight while you sleep. Perhaps it’s time to invest in a Jeep Wrangler 4xe or Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. 

Both of these vehicles are plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). The Wrangler 4xe goes an estimated 21 miles on electric-only power, while the Grand Cherokee 4xe gets around 25 miles of electric-only driving. This makes for gasoline-free commuting if you live close enough to the office in Branford. If you work from home, weekly shopping trips can be done without filling up at the gas station in New Haven

• Reduced Maintenance: Full electric vehicles don’t require engine oil so there’s no need for oil changes. You’ll save money because you won’t need this maintenance on a regular basis.

• Lower Refueling Costs: Electric vehicles typically have 40% lower refueling costs versus gasoline-only. And gas prices aren’t going down in North Haven anytime soon.

• Quieter Drive: One major benefit of electric cars is that most drivers instantly notice the serene ride. There is no engine noise, so you can pay closer attention to the road or your favorite podcast playing in the background.

• Performance: Are you worried about power? Electric vehicles truly provide unbeatable performance. Electric motors produce near-instantaneous torque, allowing you to find a thrill on your drives with vaunted acceleration and power. If you compare, EVs have greater power than comparably sized gasoline-powered vehicles.
• HOV Lanes: EVs might have their own commuter lanes on highways, making your drives into NYC more efficient.

• Zero Emissions: Another of the many environmental benefits of electric cars is due to zero tailpipe emissions. electric cars don’t even have an exhaust system because there is no internal combustion engine that creates noxious fumes or carbon monoxide. You’ll reduce your carbon footprint just by driving an electric vehicle.

• Renewable Energy: Another environmental benefit of electric cars comes from using renewable energy to recharge the battery. Electric cars are powered by electricity only. You could utilize a grid that comes from solar, wind, or even water power, depending on how the electricity is generated in your area.

What to Do Before Buying an EV

2. Find Local Charging Stations: Map out a list of charging stations from companies like PlugShare or Chargeway for when you travel away from North Haven. There are many in our area, in CT, and surrounding areas.
