Five Reasons To Switch To Electric Vehicles For Your Travel Adventures This Year

Electric vehicles are certainly making headway when it comes to car ownership. While it was perhaps somewhat of a new thing some five or six years ago, there’s definitely been a shift towards more car owners opting for an EV as their next choice of car.

If you’re looking for a car that can adapt to your travel adventures, whilst serving other aspects of your day-to-day life, then an electric vehicle might just be what you’re looking for.

Here are five reasons why you should switch to electric vehicles for your travel adventures this year.

Significant cost savings

Driving an EV instead of a traditional vehicle fueled by gas is often a lot more cost-efficient over time. In fact, an EV is up to 65% cheaper per mile than a car with gasoline.

There’s the flexibility of home charging as well as charging at nearby EV charging points. EVs also have a lot less in the way of maintenance costs as they often lack the complex components like timing belts, spark plugs, and oil filters, too.

More variety available on the market

The variety of electric vehicles on the market of electric vehicles is certainly important when you’re shopping for new cars. While there were a few brands like Tesla that led the way with EVs, most car brands are now offering some form of electric or hybrid vehicle, like this Volkswagen ID Buzz electric van, for example.

With more variety available, it does mean that the cost of buying an EV becomes a lot more affordable than those that might have been priced out before. Make sure to consider the different car manufacturers and running costs to tally up costs beyond just the purchase price.

Rapidly expanding charging network

It’s definitely the case that the public network across multiple countries is a lot more significant and expansive when it comes to charging points available.

A lot of supermarkets now have them available, as well as petrol stations and service stations. A lot of these new ‘charging lounges’ also feature high-speed WiFi as well as dining options that are transforming these charging spots into a more enjoyable experience. Better than just sitting inside the car waiting for it to charge anyway.

Enhanced driving experiences

EVs provide a lot more of an enhanced driving experience than other traditional models without the electric feature. Instant torque provides effortless acceleration and a quieter ride that helps to reduce driver fatigue, especially when faced with long trips.

There’s also the absence of engine vibration, and that reduction in noise will make it a much more immersive and peaceful experience when travelling on the road. Even more so during those scenic routes.

Generous financial incentives available 

As well as all of the above, you’ve also got generous financial incentives available. Grant schemes are worth exploring if they’re available in your country, as this could save you a lot of money when buying a new model.
