Electric vehicles have grown in prominence over the last few years. While the first electric car was made in 1888, many strides have been made in their reliability, power, range, and design to drop the stigma that dominated the EV conversation decades ago. While the biggest benefit of electric Hyundai vehicles is their positive impact on the environment, there are a few benefits to driving an electric vehicle you may not have considered yet. As such, let’s look at the five benefits of driving a Hyundai EV.
Save More Money with an EV
Although Florida doesn’t offer state-level tax credits for owning and operating an electric vehicle, there are federal tax credits upwards of $7,500 available (note: the amount you receive is dependent on your vehicle’s battery capacity). You may also be eligible for rebates through your local Miami, Hialeah, or Coral Gables utility company. For more information, call us at (786) 623-6062 to speak with a representative about potential electric vehicle incentives in South Florida.
Ditch Fuel Costs
Because the Hyundai EVs run on batteries rather than gasoline, you can ditch gas stations and stress about fuel costs from now on. In many cases, you’ll find that charging an electric vehicle in South Florida will cost less in energy bills than if you had to pay for gasoline. As more workplaces introduce electric car charging options, you’ll be able to reduce your energy bills at home to keep your vehicle battery topped off.
Lower Electric Maintenance Cost
Since Hyundai EVs don’t have mechanical engines like fuel-injected variants, there are fewer parts to worry about wearing out and needing repairs or replacements. Additionally, since there’s no oil used in the electric vehicle, oil changes will be a thing of the past when you purchase an electric vehicle in Miami. Since Hyundai electric vehicles use regenerative braking, you reduce the use of brake pads in general, limiting the frequency of brake repairs necessary. In short, electric maintenance costs will be lower than you’d expect as long as you follow proper charging guidelines.
Enjoy More Horsepower
Because there isn’t combustion from the engine, but rather electric power from the motor(s) to the wheels, electric vehicles will often have higher horsepower and acceleration than their gasoline-powered siblings. Due to their design, Hyundai electric cars are nimbler with better handling, making for much more interesting and exciting rides. With great power comes great fun behind the wheel.
Savor the Silence
Electric cars are whisper quiet. For years, car makers have tried to create the quietest rides possible in gas-powered vehicles. Electric vehicles, by their nature, do not create as much noise under the hood, creating silent rides from start to stop. If you’re someone who values peace and quiet, an electric vehicle may be the way to go.
