Benefits of driving electric

A common misconception is that electric cars are not affordable, but that’s not necessarily true.

Most electric vehicles are eligible for EV purchase incentives and grants, allowing consumers to save on upfront costs. Owning an electric vehicle also means major car ownership savings.

An EV equates to less maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts and enhanced driving technology, saving you money and time. And! It costs about 70% less to “fuel” an EV than a gasoline vehicle, (an average between $30-$60 a month).

Electric cars help improve our quality of life.

Transportation accounts for 47% of greenhouse gas emissions in Houston, so going electric can make a huge difference! On a daily basis, Houstonians drive a cumulative 140 million miles, and our air quality is among the worst in the country. Total electrification could reduce emissions by as much as 90%. A change as drastic as that could help prevent pollution-related early deaths and asthma cases in Houston, as well as help offset the effects of climate change.

Imagine never stopping at the gas station again (or almost never if you drive a PHEV). When charging your car is as convenient as charging your phone and keeps you out of lines at the gas pump, there’s nothing to miss when switching to electric. Between the smooth, quiet ride, fast acceleration, and latest technologies, you will love driving an EV. To add the cherry on top, EV drivers receive perks like priority parking and subsidies.
