Switching from a Gas-Powered to an Electric Vehicle

If you’re thinking of switching from a gas-powered vehicle to a hybrid or electric car, truck, or SUV, there’s some choices you need to make. First of all, do you want an all-electric vehicle (EV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), or hybrid model?

If you’d like to totally move away from fossil fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions, an EV is the best choice for you. Driving an all-electric model will cut your fuel costs dramatically, and help you avoid the traditional gas station—unless you need a fountain drink or snack.

The Benefits of Driving Electric

There are many benefits to driving electric vehicles. First, there’s no fuel required, so you can save money on gas. On average, EV drivers save up to $700 in fuel costs per year. You’ll also save on maintenance costs, because electric motors have less parts to wear out or break down than gas-powered engines.

EVs are more environmentally friendly than their internal combustion engine counterparts, because they don’t emit pollutants. This leads to far fewer emissions and a cleaner atmosphere. New battery technologies and advancements also mean that electric cars perform better and have longer ranges than before.

What About Charging?

Making the switch to an EV means changing from gas stations to charging at home or charging your vehicle at a public charging station. All EVs can charge off of a standard wall socket, but depending on battery size, this can take a long time.

One solution is a professionally installed home wall box (or charging point). A home charger generally delivers a full charge overnight, and can produce up to 22 miles of range in just 60 minutes using a 7kW supply source.

When you’re away from home, the public charging infrastructure offers both slower AC charging points in places like retail spaces, parking lots, restaurants, and gyms, or faster DC charging points that are typically located along main roads and highways.
