If You're Considering an EV Here are some things you should know...
Will I have to use public chargers if I buy or lease an EV?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 80 percent of EV charging happens at home. If you have a daily commute of less than 200 miles an electric vehicle can get you there and back without the hassle of public charging. Just as in Gas powered vehicles using more features like heat and a/c or towing can impact driving range so always plan ahead on those extra-long trips. At Premier we sell the Kia and Subaru lineup of Electric Vehicles which can travel distances ranging from 218 to 310 miles on a full charge.

Will an Electric Vehicle save me money?
The price of EV's have come down and the incentives have increased. Currently both Federal and State governments offer substantial tax incentives and rebates to promote the adoption of EVs. This can significantly lower the upfront cost of buying an electric car. EverSource in CT also offers home charger installation rebates and estimated fuel savings can reach $79/mo. EVs can also be charged at home using solar power, further reducing their environmental impact and potentially saving owners money on charging costs. Studies have shown that charging an EV generally costs much less than filling a gas tank, especially as electricity prices can be lower during off-peak hours. You can save on maintenance costs too. Electric vehicles don't require oil and certain other fluid changes. Over the life of your Electric vehicle that can mean significant savings.
