If you are searching for a new car and want to get around the North Augusta, South Carolina, and Augusta, Georgia, areas as efficiently as possible, then you’ll want to see what awaits you in an electric vehicle (EV).
Why should you consider an EV as your vehicle of choice to drive you around Beech Island, South Carolina? Keep reading below, where our Miracle Toyota of North Augusta team explains some of the benefits of electric vehicles!
An Environmentally Friendly Way to Travel
One of the main attractions of getting an electric vehicle is being able to travel and have less impact on the environment. Overall, electric vehicles account for less greenhouse gas emissions than your typical gasoline car.
Part of that is due to the fact that electric vehicles don’t produce tailpipe emissions. Electric cars, too, will only become even more environmentally friendly as more renewable energy sources are used to charge and power them! With an electric Toyota, the materials needed in manufacturing are reduced to limit the use of limited resources.
Highly Efficient Commuting
Electric cars are capable of using less energy to take you further. The efficiency of an EV is measured through MPGe. This is the distance a car can travel on 33.7kWh of electricity, which is equivalent to a gallon of gas.
Take the Toyota bZ4X, for example. This all-electric SUV gets up to an EPA-estimated 119 combined MPGe.1 That is the equivalent of a gas-powered SUV going for over 100 miles per gallon of gas! This means you will get much farther, while needing to use less energy in an electric car. Combine that with fuel prices and this can help you save in the long run!
Conveniently Charge Up at Home
When your vehicle is low on gas, the only way to fuel up is to head to a gas station. When the available range diminishes in an electric car, you can charge it at home. While you sleep, you will be able to get a full charge on your vehicle.
That way, when you wake up in the morning, you can head off to work, the store, or to drop the kids off at school without making a stop! That is, unless you want to grab coffee on your way!
Fewer Maintenance Requirements
Without an internal combustion engine powering it, an electric car does not require certain maintenance services that your previous gas-powered vehicle did. This includes oil changes, so your stops at the service center could be less frequent when owning an EV.
Plus, you can drive for more miles between other routine services when compared to a gasoline vehicle. That includes brake replacements. Due to regenerative braking, the parts within the braking system wear more gradually and typically last longer.
