Maintenance
Electric vehicles don't have as many of the moving parts that gas-powered
vehicles do, which makes them easier to maintain. The lack of an internal
combustion engine reduces an EV's maintenance needs considerably. Even though
EVs still need regular service to keep them running smoothly, you'll find that
it's generally much easier to tend to an EV's maintenance needs.
Federal Tax Incentives
EVs and plug-in hybrid models can be eligible for a variety of
incentives in the state of California, meaning that you can get rebates when
you purchase qualifying vehicles. Electrified vehicles offer environmental
benefits, so rewards for drivers who make the switch to electric makes it even
more enticing to make burning gasoline a thing of the past.
Charging
The surging popularity of EVs has made it much easier to keep your
vehicle charged. There are thousands of public chargers across the nation,
simplifying the process of recharging in the middle of a road trip and ensuring
that your car has what it needs to handle your drive around Culver City. There
are also numerous options for charging your electric vehicle at home. You can
plug it into a standard outlet or have a faster Level 2 charging station
installed at your home for quicker energy boosts.
Range
EVs grow more sophisticated year after year. Advancements in vehicle
design, as well as battery technology, allow EVs to handle your commute and
even longer road trips. With improved range and plenty of ways to keep the
battery charged up and ready to go, it's easier than ever to make the most of
every mile that you drive around Venice Beach in your EV.
Environmental Impact
The less gas you burn, the fewer emissions your car produces. Lower
emissions translate to a healthier environment. So, if you're looking to go green,
choosing an EV is a great way to get a top-notch car that helps to leave the
world a little better than we found it. Even cars that operate on a hybrid
system help to cut back on emissions by burning less fuel, so you can feel
better about your daily drive knowing that you're helping the environment by
using less gasoline.
Which Electrified Vehicle is Right for You?
Whether you want to go with a fully electric vehicle or a plug-in
hybrid model like the Toyota Prius Prime PHEV, we can help you find the right
option for your needs. Our team can walk you through the benefits of
electrified vehicles and help you arrive at a solution that works for
you.
Electric Vehicles
EVs use batteries and electric motors to run, so you don't have to use
a drop of gasoline to give them the power they need. Simply plug in, charge up,
and set out on your adventures. Some of the things you'll notice are the lack
of tailpipe and near-instant torque, making EVs eco-friendly options that are thrilling
to drive around Playa Vista.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
If you're looking to cut back on gas consumption but you still want
the option for longer drives with fewer stops, then a plug-in hybrid model
might be the perfect option for you. Plug-in hybrid vehicles offer fully
electric range, allowing you to motor around town for your commute without
dipping into your gas reserves. If you find yourself taking longer journeys,
plug-in hybrid models can tap into their gas tank to power through the
trip.
Plug-in hybrid models also prioritize electric power over gas, so you
can rest assured that your car is only burning gas when it absolutely must do
so.
