Benefits of Electric Vehicles

There is a lot to love about owning an EV, from the elevated tech features and performance to the good it does for the environment. Check out some of the greatest benefits of owning an EV below:

• Zero Emissions: Have you ever noticed that most EVs don’t have an exhaust system? That’s because one of the environmental benefits of electric cars is that they achieve close to zero emissions.
• Renewable Energy: Another great thing is that since EVs are electrically powered, they can use renewable forms of electricity, including wind, solar, and water. 
• Reduced Maintenance: One of the most exciting things about owning an EV for Meridian and Nampa drivers is they require less maintenance since they have fewer moving parts than conventional vehicles. They don’t even use oil, which means you’ll never have to worry about getting an oil change. 
• Quieter Drive: If you enjoy a silent ride, then you’ll love the fact that EVs produce almost no noise from their electric motor. 
• Performance: Finally, EVs typically have more torque and horsepower than their gas-powered equivalents, and they even offer near-instantaneous torque, providing exhilarating performance and impressive 0-60 times.

There is still much more to love about EVs, so feel free to visit us at Peterson Chevrolet Buick Cadillac to see our inventory and ask us questions about the EVs we have in stock. If there’s a Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet EV that you want and don’t see in our inventory, we’ll be happy to order it for you and notify you when it arrives!
