No matter where you plug in across the country, electric vehicles are cheaper to fuel than their gasoline-powered counterparts. Every electricity provider in the largest cities offers a rate plan that makes filling up on electricity cheaper than gasoline.
Electric vehicles can also save you on maintenance costs. Battery EVs have no gasoline engine, they do not need oil changes, spark plugs, or timing belts, and unlike gasoline motors, electric motors required no routine maintenance. Even when the electricity used to fuel an EV comes from the dirtiest coal-dominated grid. EVs still produce less global warming pollution than their conventional counterparts.
An electric engine generates
instant torque, which means that electric vehicles zoom off starting lines and
provide smooth, responsive acceleration and deceleration. Electric vehicles
also have a low center of gravity, which improves handling, responsiveness, and
ride comfort.
Instead of searching for a gasoline station with the cheapest prices, you can charge at home at a cheaper and much more predictable cost. And plugging in at home takes only a few seconds and lets you wake up with a “full tank” every morning. EVs also have other convenient advantages. Battery electric vehicles are mechanically much simpler than a conventional gasoline car, so the maintenance requirements are often much simpler and, for this reason, cheaper to maintain.
