Benefits of Buying Electric Vehicles

​

EV Fuel Economy Benefits

Electric vehicles elevate fuel-economy numbers to new heights. The electric systems upon which they’re built have been designed to maximize driving range, so that you’re able to travel for many miles.

Many are also equipped with regenerative braking, a feature that sends energy back to the battery each time you hit the brakes. This way, every possible spark of energy is used to its best potential.

In addition to longer drives, you’ll appreciate saving money on fuel, given that all-electric models don’t require it and hybrids need it much less. Instead, you can conveniently charge your car at home. Many EVs are compatible with 120-volt outlets that are commonly found in homes. For quicker charging, consider getting a 240-volt outlet professionally installed or visit a nearby DC Fast Charge station.

EV Tax & Incentive Benefits

When you buy a new electric vehicle, you may be eligible to claim certain federal tax credits. These credits range anywhere from $2,500 to $7,500 and can be a nice help towards your next vehicle purchase.

You could also qualify for various utility and state incentives. In New Jersey, for example, zero-emission vehicles are exempt from state sales tax. Should you opt to install a charging station at home, you could also be eligible for a rebate. We know you’ll enjoy these extra benefits as you purchase your EV!

EV Maintenance Benefits

Once you select an electric vehicle, you’ll want to stay informed about its maintenance schedule. In general, there are fewer components that need attention in an EV, making maintenance that much easier for you.

Oil changes are no more, and various fluids are used less, therefore requiring less yearly service. EVs are also often better on your brakes because of the regenerative function, which saves you having to replace the pads and rotors as often.

The battery of your EV is robust and built to handle your drives for many years. At each appointment, we’ll be sure to inspect and test it to make sure it’s maintaining its high quality.

EV Environmental Benefits

Maybe you’re looking into an electric vehicle, so that you can help out the environment. An electric vehicle produces no emissions while a plug-in hybrid produces far less than a gas model would. You’ll therefore be able to lead a greener lifestyle at the helm of your EV, as you contribute to cleaner air for your community.

Range of EV Models

During the vehicle-research phase, you’ll want to look at a few different models. This way, you can see different capabilities and amenities and decide what works for you.

See our BMW hybrid and electric inventory here on our website. It rotates often to feature the most updated models, whether it’s the 3 Series plug-in hybrid or the all-electric BMW iX. We’ll be happy to set you up with a test drive to give one or more a try.
