Benefits of Electric Vehicles

Now, it’s easier than ever to fit EV ownership into your Kearny Mesa lifestyle. Advancements in EV technology have led to shorter charging times, longer driving ranges, and more and more charging stations are being built around San Diego and beyond. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the benefits of electric cars. Here are a few of our favorites: 

  • Zero Emissions: When it comes to the environmental benefits of electric cars, one of the most important is the fact that they generate close to zero tailpipe emissions. Most electric cars don’t even have an exhaust system. 
  • Renewable Energy: Building on the environmental benefits of electric cars is that they can run on renewable energy. Since EVs are powered by electricity, that energy is able to come from renewable resources such as solar, wind, or water.
  • Save Money on Gas: The cost of charging an EV is significantly lower than the cost of gasoline. 
  • At-Home Charging: When you purchase an EV, you have the option to outfit your garage with an at-home charging station. 
  • Reduced Maintenance: Who doesn’t love the fact that EVs do not require regular oil changes? 
  • Quieter Drive: Less cabin noise means a more peaceful drive around Kearny Mesa. 
  • Performance: Electric motors are designed to generate near-instantaneous torque, so you do not have to compromise exciting performance.
