Which EV is Right for Me?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are fun to drive, cheaper and easier to maintain than gas-powered vehicles, and contribute fewer emissions into the air. With tax incentives available and a fast-growing network of charging stations, find out if owning an EV is the right choice for you.

Battery Electric

The first main type of electric vehicle is the battery electric vehicle, as known as EVs. These are fully electric models that have no gas engine parts. They are capable of fast charging and produce zero emissions. Generally speaking, they are the most different from gas-powered vehicles and some of the most exciting models on the market.

Plug-in Hybrid

Plug-in hybrids are a different set of hybrid vehicles. They are similar to hybrids but offer a larger battery and electric motor. Unlike hybrids, you need to charge your plug-in hybrid at a charge port. Plug-in hybrids can typically go for longer on their electric modes, meaning you can spend more time driving electric and have your gas as backup. With a plug-in hybrid, you can enjoy the perks of electric models and gas engines without sacrificing either.

Traditional Hybrid

Hybrid vehicles combine a gas engine and electric motors. Unlike fully electric vehicles, you can switch between the electric mode and gas power while driving, helping you save on fuel costs. Regular hybrid models recharge when you drive and brake, so you can worry less about stopping to charge. With a new hybrid, drivers can enjoy the perks of an electric vehicle without fully committing to the new wave of electric models.

    Understanding Charging

    Charging times vary depending of the type of charger used.

    Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and charge about 2-5 miles of range per hour, making Level 1 a good choice for plugin hybrid vehicles but not battery electric vehicles.

    Level 2 chargers can be installed at your home by a professional electrician and charge about 10-20 miles of range per hour. A good choice for any EV when charging overnight or all-day is possible.

    Level 3 fast chargers are the most efficient and can be found at commercial locations. Level 3 can charge about 60-80 miles of range in about 20 minutes, making it a good choice for any EV when a quick charge is needed on the go.

    Charging from Home

    For plugin hybrid vehicles a standard outlet (Level 1) will be enough for overnight charging. For battery electric vehicles, a Level 2 charger will require professional installation by a licensed electrician. If you live in an apartment or condo, consider talking with the property owner about installing a charger or use a nearby public charger. Talk to our sales staff to find out more about charging from home.

    Battery Care

    Most batteries will last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles when properly cared for. With battery technology continually advancing, that number will continue to increase. If you can keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged most days and avoid extremely hot temperatures, you can expect your maintenance to be minimal.

    EV FAQs

    A federal tax credit of $7,500 is available on most EV models. Depending on where you live, state and local rebates and incentives may also be available. Check with your sales associate to find out if the model is eligible for rebates and incentives.

    Other advantages of owning an EV include:

    • Eligible EVs may also qualify for HOV lane access, which are normally restricted to vehicles with multiple passengers.
    • Many electric companies offer lower rates based on the time of use. With EVs, you can save money by charging during off-peak times.
    • If you're able to charge from work or home, there's usually no need to stop to refuel like you would in a gas-powered vehicle.
    • EVs produce zero tail-pipe emissions resulting in cleaner air and better health.

    This will vary depending on the local price of electricity and gas and where you are charging (at home or public charger), but most EV owners can expect to save on fuel cost. A recent Consumer Reports study found the “typical EV owner who does most of their fueling at home can expect to save an average of $800 to $1,000 a year on fueling costs over an equivalent gasoline-powered car.”

    A recent Consumer Reports study found “maintenance and repair costs for EVs are significantly lower over the life of the vehicle – about half – than for gasoline–powered vehicles, which require regular fluid changes and are more mechanically complex. The average dollar savings over the lifetime of the vehicle is about $4,600.”

    Gas powered vehicles offer a range of 300-400mi. Battery electric vehicles offer a median range of 250mi. For EV owners who charge at home, this is more than enough for daily use. For longer drives beyond the range of your vehicle, check a public charger map for charger availability along your route.
