The Benefits of EV Ownership
Owning an EV isn't just great for the environment; it can also improve your personal driving experience. These benefits can vary depending on the type of EV you choose, so let's start by going over the three basic types.
HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles) use a process called regenerative braking to take energy that's usually lost to heat when you're braking and redirect it to a battery that helps power the vehicle alongside a traditional internal combustion engine. PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) use both regenerative braking and direct battery charging to power larger batteries that can either work alongside the engine or completely power the vehicle for a limited range. BEVs (battery electric vehicles) don't have internal combustion engines at all; they have electric motors powered entirely by large batteries that gain power both from direct charging and regenerative braking.
All EVs use regenerative braking for some of their power. This process recovers energy that would otherwise be lost, which improves your fuel economy and saves you money over time. On top of that, it's easier on your brake pads and rotors, so these parts will last longer before they need to be replaced, saving you even more money. Traditional hybrids don't need to be charged, which is convenient, but they also don't offer the benefits of fully electrified driving, which is quiet, smooth, and has high torque even at low speeds, helping you quickly accelerate to highway speeds.
Plug-in hybrids are good transition vehicles because they let you get accustomed to the concept of charging but still have a gas engine as the main power source. But once you get over the learning curve, owning a BEV can actually be more convenient than a gas-powered vehicle. That's because there are so many ways to charge. You can get a home charging station that'll build your range back up overnight, or you can find public DC Fast Charging stations in parking lots that you can use while you shop, work, engage in recreation, or travel the country.

Reliable Maintenance for Your EV
As a driver, maintaining an EV is easy; just bring your vehicle to our vehicle service center for all its servicing and repairs. No matter what type of EV you choose, its maintenance schedule will be about the same as it would be for a gas-powered version.
That's because even if you get an all-electric model that doesn't use motor oil and, therefore, never needs an oil change, you'll still need to come in regularly for tire rotations and multi-point inspections. But those visits will generally be shorter and less expensive because electric powertrains have fewer moving parts to deal with than internal combustion engines.
Our skilled technicians know how to take care of your EV and will treat it with the care it deserves. We make it easy to schedule appointments either online or over the phone, so it's convenient to keep up with maintenance and keep your EV in top condition for years to come.
