You’re not alone. For some people entering into an all-electric world is a giant step, but with the proper knowledge, anyone can become an electric car owner.
Driving a battery-powered car has many advantages. A lower
environmental impact
and lower operating and maintenance costs are just some of the benefits of going electric. However, electric car ownership is an entirely different experience than owning a traditionally fueled car.
Things to consider before becoming an electric car owner
  • Is the operating range enough?
  • Does the vehicle meet my lifestyle needs?
  • Should I lease or buy new?
  • Where and how will I charge an electric car?
  • What incentives can I take advantage of?
There is one final thing to consider, and that is what does it cost to insure an electric car?
