Advantages of Electric Vehicles

It is always cheaper to charge your electric car than spend money on gas for a regular car.

Electric vehicles have other advantages over those powered by combustion engines:

• No fuel required so you save money on gas
  Paying $0.10 per kW is the equivalent of driving on gasoline that costs less than $1 per gallon. On average, drivers save about $700 in fuel costs per year while driving electric cars.
• Environmental friendly as they do not emit pollutants 
  Drivers of electric vehicles have reduced CO2 emissions by more than 177,758,804 kg
• Lower maintenance due to an efficient electric motor
  Electric motors have less parts that lead to less damage than a traditional non electric vehicle which means you save on operating cost!
• Better Performance
  Electric cars are not only lighter but have faster acceleration

Buyers Guide

There are three types of electric vehicles:  plug- in hybrid electric vehicles, extended range electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles.

Plug-in Hybrid
Range: 10 - 40 miles

Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) combine a rechargeable high-capacity battery with an internal combustion engine. The battery is recharged through electrical outlet or charging station. Power is delivered first by the battery, then by the combustion engine.

Extended Range
Range: 40 miles

Extended-range electric vehicles (E-REV) are an all-electric vehicle, with all the motive power provided by an electric motor, but with a small internal combustion engine (ICE) present to generate additional electric power. 

Battery
Range: 80 - 350 miles

Electric vehicles (EVs) use one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion. All power comes from a rechargeable battery. These vehicles do not have a combustion engine.
