What are the Benefits of Electric Vehicles?

So, why invest in an electric vehicle? There are plenty of great reasons to upgrade your Pelham commute behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz EV. Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular due to all of their cost-effective and eco-friendly benefits. You can also find cutting-edge technology on many of the newest models. Some other private and environmental benefits of electric cars include:

• Zero Emissions: There are plenty of environmental benefits of electric cars and one of them is the close to zero tailpipe emissions. Most electric cars don’t even have an exhaust system, so exhaust emissions are not a byproduct of the vehicle running.
• Reduced Maintenance: Full electric vehicles don’t require engine oil, so there’s no need for oil changes.
• Performance: Car enthusiasts rejoice! Electric vehicles truly provide unbeatable performance. The electric motors are capable of producing near-instantaneous torque, so you can still find thrill on your drives.

How to Prepare for an EV Purchase

1. Prepare Your Garage: Charging stations are becoming more numerous, but they’re not quite ubiquitous yet. So you’ll want to prepare your garage for home charging. Research your options (the Mercedes-Benz Wall Box Charger is an excellent choice if you’re sticking with our luxury brand). Then, have your at-home charging system installed, since this will most likely be your main method of EV charging.
2. Find Local Charging Stations: Map out a list of charging stations from companies like ChargePoint or Flo, in addition to any brand-specific chargers you can use based on the particular EV you drive. It’s especially helpful to know where stations are when travelling long-distance, but knowing where local chargers are in a pinch can be very helpful as well.
3. Explore Incentives: EVs are often eligible for more incentives and tax credits than gasoline cars. In fact, you may be able to secure up to a $7,500 tax credit just by buying an electric car!
