Why Buy Electric


7 Reasons Your Next Vehicle Should Be Electric

In the court of modern automobiles, the case for electric vehicles (EVs) becomes increasingly compelling. If you live near Newbury Park and are on the fence about ditching gasoline and spending less time and money at the pump, the team at Ventura Volkswagen offers seven reasons that might just tip the scales in favor of an electric future.

1. EV’s Provide Instant Torque

One of the most exhilarating reasons to switch to an EV is the performance. Electric motors provide instant torque, meaning that EVs peel off the line at full throttle, accelerating faster than most conventional vehicles. This feature of electric vehicles increases their efficiency, and you get a smooth ride and responsive handling that can make driving a pleasure.

2. Most Governments Incentivize the Purchase of EVs

To encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, many governments offer incentives. These can include tax credits, rebates, and grants, as well as non-monetary perks like access to carpool lanes or reduced tolls. As of November 2023, the state of California’ Clean Vehicle Rebate Program offers up to $7,500 to purchase or lease a new plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle.

3. EVs Require Less Maintenance

EVs have fewer moving parts compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. This simplicity means that there’s less that can go wrong. When it’s time to schedule routine maintenance for your EV, plan on booking an appointment for wheel alignments, tire rotations, and battery services. Still, you can skip the oil changes, exhaust system repairs, and spark plug replacements. The maintenance requirements of an EV are significantly lower, which can lead to long-term savings and a more convenient ownership experience.

4. EVs Have a Positive Environmental Impact

Perhaps the most compelling argument for EVs is their reduced environmental impact. EVs produce zero emissions, which means cleaner air and a smaller carbon footprint. As the electricity grid becomes greener with renewable energy sources, the total environmental impact of EVs continues to decrease.

5. EVs Are Cheaper to “Fuel”

Electricity is less expensive than gasoline on a per-mile basis. Even when electricity prices are high, the cost to charge an EV typically undercuts the cost to fill up a gas tank. This means more money stays in your pocket with every trip to the “fuel” station.

6. EVs Have a High Resale Value

EVs are in demand, and that demand is only growing. This means that they tend to hold their value well. With advancements in battery technology and longevity, the concerns over expensive battery replacements are also diminishing, assuring potential buyers that an EV is a good investment for the future.

7. EVs Provide a Quiet Ride

The quietness of EVs is often overlooked but is a substantial benefit. Without the rumble of a gasoline engine, EVs offer a serene driving experience. This not only reduces noise pollution but also makes for a more enjoyable ride where you can listen to music, converse, or simply enjoy the silence.
