You may be wondering, “What are the benefits of electric vehicles?” With increased fuel economy, advanced technology, and other advantages, it’s even easier to add an EV to your daily commutes.

While you may know of some of the environmental benefits of electric cars, you’ll find there are many ways an all-electric vehicle can fit into your lifestyle around Red Bank. Along with the latest technology and intelligent engineering, other benefits of electric cars include: 

• Zero Emissions: One of the environmental benefits of electric cars you may have heard about is the close to zero tailpipe emissions. Since most EVs don’t have an exhaust system, you don’t have to worry about the harmful emissions as a result of your vehicle running.
• Renewable Energy: Another notable environmental benefit of electric cars is their reliance on renewable energy, which means they can utilize renewable resources such as solar, wind, or water.
• Reduced Maintenance: Spend less time at Hazlet-area service centers with an EV. Since electric vehicles don’t require engine oil, there’s no need for routine oil changes. 
• Quieter Drive: If you’re tired of the city noise and your vehicle sounds, another benefit of electric cars you’ll enjoy is a quieter cabin. With less engine noise, there are fewer opportunities to disrupt your serene drives. 
• Performance: Don’t worry about missing out on thrilling performance during your trips around town. Even car enthusiasts can appreciate the unbeatable performance of electric motors that are capable of producing near-instantaneous torque.

The benefits of electric vehicles aren’t just found in the vehicle itself. Learn more about how to prepare for an EV and the other advantages it brings: 

1. Prepare Your Garage: When you take home an EV, your most convenient charging option will likely be with a home station. Do some research into Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations (they offer different charging times) and have it installed for overnight charging that gets you back on Red Bank roads. 
2. Find Local Charging Stations: While the number of public charging stations is growing, it’s a good idea to map out a list of charging stations from companies like PlugShare or Chargeway. These come in handy when you’re in need of a quick charge between errands or you’re preparing to travel long-distance.
3. Explore Incentives: Depending on the model you choose, you may be eligible for federal and state incentives. For example, the purchase of an electric car makes you eligible for up to a $7,500 tax credit.
