What Are the Key Benefits of Electric Vehicles?

New BMW EVs such as the BMW iX SUV and BMW i4 sedan offers dynamic performance and a luxury driving experience that will elevate your Cranston commute. Not only that, but the latest electric vehicles come loaded with advanced technology features that will keep you and your passengers connected, entertained, and safe wherever you drive. Take a look at some of the main benefits of electric cars:

• Zero Emissions: One of the primary environmental benefits of electric cars is that they have close to zero tailpipe emissions, as most electric cars don’t even have an exhaust system.
• Renewable Energy: Another one of the environmental benefits of electric cars is that they can use renewable energy. Electric cars are powered by electricity meaning they can take advantage of renewable resources such as solar, wind, or even water.
• Reduced Maintenance: Full electric vehicles don’t require engine oil, so there’s no need for oil changes.
• Quieter Drive: One major benefit of electric vehicles is the quiet ride. Without an internal combustion engine, you’ll enjoy a serene ride on Warwick roads.
• Performance: Recent advancements in EV technology and engineering have resulted in electric motors that are capable of producing near-instantaneous torque, so you can still enjoy thrilling acceleration.

What to Do Before Buying an EV

1. Prepare Your Garage: While there is an ever-growing infrastructure of charging stations, at-home charging will most likely be your primary charging method. To prepare your garage for home charging, you’ll first want to research your options (Level 1 and Level 2 charging setups offer different charging times). Then, have your at-home charging system installed.
2. Find Local Charging Stations: Map out a list of EV charging stations from companies like PlugShare or Chargeway in addition to any brand-specific chargers you can use based on the particular EV you drive. Whether driving in town or traveling long-distance, it is helpful to know where the nearest charging station is.
3. Explore Incentives: Many new EVs are eligible for a tax credit from the federal government that can be as high as $7,500 depending on the type of EV you purchase.
