Personal & Environmental Benefits of Electric Cars

So, are electric cars really better for the environment? Not only are they a net positive on Murray area air quality, but the personal benefits to your wallet cannot be understated. Take a look at all the advantages that come with an EV and decide for yourself if electric cars are better for the environment:

• Zero Carbon Emissions: Not only do EVs not produce tailpipe emissions, but increasingly, they’re manufactured using renewable energy. What’s more? Most public charging stations now rely on renewable energy to replenish your battery.
• Low-Cost Maintenance: With no more oil changes or engine upkeep, EVs are far more cost-effective to maintain. It’s estimated that, over the course of ownership, they’ll cost around 40% of what it costs to maintain a gas-powered vehicle. This allows you to put the surplus money you’d normally put into vehicle maintenance towards an eco-friendly Mayfield charity of your choice!
• Superior Torque Distribution: EV motors supply your axles with torque instantly, meaning that EVs accelerate far more swiftly than most gas models. Spend less time crowding Cadiz roads and more time at the places you know and love.
• Incentives: Prices are dropping on EVs, and meanwhile, the Federal Government will give you a $7,500 tax credit to make your EV exceptionally affordable. Think of the positive impact we can make on our environment if everyone in the Calvert City region takes advantage of these rewards!
