Driving in
the Los Angeles area can take a lot of time, we know. And it can also suck the
gas from your car quickly. You might wonder if an electric car would be a good
solution.
Here are 3 things to know about electric cars:
- They are not more expensive than traditional gas-fueled cars.
Electric vehicles often do not have higher sticker prices than traditional
cars. When you buy a electric car, you can often qualify for tax credits, too,
which can take the sting out of a car purchase.
- Electric cars are easy to charge.
In the past, it was sometimes hard to find charging stations, but now they
abound. You can get your car charged overnight and then plug it in when you get
back home, or you can take advantage of charging stations found throughout
cities and get charges in between home charges.
- Electric cars are not slow.
Perhaps the early versions of them were a little poky compared to traditional cars, but today's electric vehicles are peppy and fun to drive.
It's important that you shop a dealership that offered sales people who are educated about electric vehicles and who have these vehicles on the lot for you to test drive. If you're interested in a Chevy Volt, for example, our advisors at our Riverside Chevrolet dealership can help you get a good test drive out of it and can give you all the information you need so you can make the right purchasing decision for yourself.
