Electric Vehicle Benefits

Electric Vehicle Benefits

Electric Vehicles save you money, reduce the emissions and allow you to charge from the comfort of home. Starting at $33,000 they have also never been more affordable or offered so many choices.

Electric Vehicles Save You Money

Because electric vehicles use electricity instead of fossil fuels, they are much more affordable to drive. This is especially true if you charge over-night or on weekends when the cost of electricity is usually lower. The average Canadian driver, travelling 20,000 km per year, can save as much as $3,000 per year on fuel alone.

In addition, electric motors are more sophisticated and durable than internal combustion engines. Electric motors have one moving part and do not require oil changes, coolant flushes, mufflers or exhaust systems, saving you hundreds of dollars per year on maintenance.

Electric Vehicles Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The burning of fossil fuels produces hazardous chemicals and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These pollutants contribute to air pollution and climate change. The only greenhouse gas emissions associated with your electric vehicle are from the generation of electricity. While it is true that in jurisdictions that rely heavily on coal the environmental benefit is less strong, most of Canada’s electricity comes from hydro and nuclear, which are both low emitting sources and the average Canadian driver can reduce their vehicle’s greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 90+%.

Electric Vehicles Qualify for Incentives

Governments around the world are encouraging the purchase of electric vehicles in order reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air pollution and fight climate change.

EVs come in all shapes and sizes

Electric vehicles start from as low as $33,000 (before incentives) and most fall in the $35,000-$45,000 range. Electric vehicles come in all shapes and sizes from compact to midsize to SUV. With 40+ makes and models available from different auto manufacturers, there is an electric vehicle for EVeryone.

The Electric Vehicle Advantage

The electric motor advantage

EVs have better acceleration than gas vehicles. That’s because electric motors deliver full torque right away, unlike internal combustion engines that need to gear up. Electric motors are an incredibly efficient and durable technology, meaning less maintenance and a longer life time than gas engines.

The electricity advantage

Electricity is more affordable than gasoline and domestically produced, which means every time you charge up you are saving money and supporting the local economy. Electricity can also be made from clean and renewable sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution every time you drive.

The battery advantage

Electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries, the same type of battery used in smartphones and laptops. EV batteries hold their charge for weeks at a time and are quick and easy to recharge. EV batteries are 90% recyclable and many companies are looking at re-purposing used-EV batteries for second-life energy storage. This means that at the end of your vehicle’s life, the battery still has value, unlike old gas engines that are bound for the scrapyard.
