In the last few years, EVs (electric vehicles) have been increasing in popularity with car consumers. Research has shown that 71 percent of drivers in the U.S. would think about purchasing an electric vehicle in the future, with over 30 percent indicating interest in an electric vehicle for their next car purchase.

EVs provide many benefits over traditional internal combustion engine cars. There are various charging options, which means it’s possible to “fuel” up your car without inconveniencing your daily schedule. As a matter of fact, electric vehicle owners who charge in their home overnight may expect to travel a minimum of 100 miles, according to the United States Department of Energy.

EVs are appealing to consumers from performance to styling.  Electric vehicles have responsive torque and may be charged at work, at home, or while out running errands.

Also, electric vehicle owners might benefit from programs provided by their utility providers, such as lower rates during specific hours, electric vehicle-only electrical rate plans, as well as itemized expenses for home charging use. Plus, EVs usually need less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles because there are less moving parts needing to be replaced and you never need to take it for an oil change.
