Electric vehicles are starting to gain some serious market penetration. Here are three reasons why.
1. More miles per dollar. Electric vehicles can go a lot farther for the dollar and can use renewable charging sources. More electric cars mean more people plugging into solar power. Even if you buy all of your e-gallons off the grid, the price of gasoline would have to dip below $1.50 a gallon to equal that value.
2. Easier to maintain. Electric vehicles require far less maintenance. Just think — no more oil changes! An electric vehicle contains 500 fewer moving parts than its internal combustion counterpart. Basically, fewer things to maintain, fewer things that can break, less time in the shop.
3. Big savings. Finally, free money. Right now, you'll get thousands of dollars back in incentives, rebates and tax credits when you purchase an electric vehicle. There are even some free charging stations, so you can save even more just by plugging in when you shop.
Cheaper miles, less maintenance, big savings. Let's hear three cheers for electric vehicles!
