Reasons Why You Should Consider an Electric Vehicle

There are many reasons why one might choose to drive an all-electric vehicle, from environmental concerns to saving money on gas. Keep reading for the five reasons why you should consider an electric car.

1. Never fill up a gas tank again. Just think about how nice it would be never to have to worry about the price at the pump again! All-electric vehicles liberate you from having to dole out more money as gas prices soar.

2. Keep the environment in mind. The U.S. Department of Energy says that all-electric vehicles don’t emit any pollutants from their tailpipes, so your car won’t contribute to air-quality issues.

3. Maintenance and additional savings. EVs have no costs associated with oil changes, transmission fluids and fuel exhaust system maintenance — because they don’t need these services.

4. Tax incentives. There are also some tax incentives of which electric vehicle drivers can take advantage. The U.S. Department of Energy says electric vehicles purchased in 2010 or later may be eligible for a federal income tax credit.
