Buying a new car
is an exciting process, and good on you for deciding to do some research first before you commit. One great thing about
electric cars
is that you’ll not only be saving money on fuel and maintenance, but you’ll likely get just as many miles from it as you would if you were buying a new gas-powered vehicle.
Most new electric cars produced in the last few years are anticipated to last 10 to 20 years or up to about 200,000 miles before they need replacing. In the U.S., there is even a federal mandate that electric car batteries be covered under warranty for a minimum of eight years or the first 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
If you’re shopping around for a new car, you’re going to need a
car insurance
plan that ensures you’re getting the best coverage for the best price. The
