Cost
EVs cost less to operate than gasoline-fueled vehicles and produce fewer emissions than standard vehicles.
Maintenance
EVs have simpler equipment that is more reliable and requires less maintenance.
Mileage
Travel range per charge varies according to vehicle, battery size and how the vehicle is driven. Some vehicles can travel up to 375 miles with a full charge and full tank of gas.
Performance
As with traditional vehicles, extreme temperatures can affect mileage and performance of your EV. Extensive use of the climate control setting and other electronics can decrease a EV’s all-electric range.
The current battery technology used in EVs can be sensitive to extreme hot and cold conditions. However, EVs are designed with features to minimize weather effects. EV batteries are temperature-controlled by either advanced air or liquid cooling systems. The systems keep them operating at optimal temperatures during the average commute. Most EVs allow owners to begin cooling or heating the battery pack and passenger cabin before using the vehicle. This maximizes its electric range. Rather than heating the whole vehicle, heated seats in many EVs offer a more efficient way to keep passengers comfortable in cold weather.
Warranties
Most major electric vehicle manufacturers offer battery warranties of about 8 years or 100,000 miles.
