Learn More About Electric Vehicles
EV savings really add up! According to this Consumer Reports article, EV owners will experience higher lifetime savings than gas-powered vehicle owners, even despite a higher upfront EV price. EV owners spend half of what gas-powered vehicle owners spend on maintenance, plus the cost of electricity is much lower than gas. You can forget about oil changes, engine fluid needs, and fuel filters when you drive an electric vehicle.
In addition, there are tax credits available for new or leased EVs. Get $2,500 in state tax credit for a new EV and between $2,500-$7,000 in federal tax credits. When these credits are applied, many EV prices are reduced significantly, matching or even beating gas-powered car competitors.
