Not sure what to expect from driving an electric vehicle in the Palmyra, PA area? Here's a quick look at why electric vehicles are great for the future and what you can expect to experience when you own one.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Electric vehicles aren't like traditional cars in that they don't have internal combustion engines. That means they also don't produce tailpipe emissions, which leads to less of a dark mark on the environment. If you are thinking about a greener way to embrace your adventures around Hershey, then choosing a Chevy EV might be the right move for your next vehicle purchase.
Cut Back on Fuel
Since EVs don't have internal combustion engines, they don't need gasoline. That means that you can say goodbye to filling up the gas tank and dealing with fluctuating gas prices. Electric vehicles run on electricity alone, so all you need to do is plug them into an outlet to recharge the battery. There are many ways to go about recharging your vehicle, and it's a process that grows more and more convenient as the years go on.
Save on Service
EVs Don't have as many moving parts as their traditional gas-powered cousins. Without an engine to maintain, electric vehicles require quite a bit less when it comes to routine maintenance. So, you can enjoy savings on service when you make the switch to an electric vehicle. Of course, that's not to say that electric vehicles don't need service at all. EVs still benefit from routine services like brake checks, tire rotations, wheel alignments, and other services, but they're not as needy as other vehicles.
Take the HOV Lane
Did you know that you can use the HOV lane in many areas if you drive an electric vehicle? Typically, the HOV lane is reserved for drivers who are carpooling and carrying multiple passengers with them. The primary goal of an HOV lane is to encourage carpooling in an effort to reduce emissions. Electric vehicles produce zero emissions, so they earn the unique privilege of being able to use HOV lanes even with only one passenger.
Recharge Your Vehicle with Ease
You can plug your EV into a standard outlet at home, or you can choose to speed things up by installing a Level 2 charger at your home. But what if you are on the move? There are thousands of public charging stations available nationwide, and there are more than 125 DC fast-charging stations just in Pennsylvania. A handful of those are right here in Palmyra, and there are more around the Lebanon and Harrisburg areas.
