Find out everything you need to know about the main benefits of owning an electric vehicle in California with our handy guide.
We’ll cover:
There are plenty of benefits to owning an electric vehicle in California! We’ll go over some of the main ones here.
EVs don’t use internal combustion, so there are no emissions at all. You’ll be saving the environment while getting a more fuel-efficient ride. Especially in California, where smog can be a hindrance, EVs are an important part of reducing smog and making the air more breathable in large cities. It’s one reason why California will sell only new EVs starting in 2035.
EVs don’t require engine oil, so there’s no need for oil changes. You also won’t need transmission fluid changes, radiator flushes, and fills, spark plug replacements, or battery replacements every 50,000 miles. Your overall costs of ownership will go down because of less maintenance over time.
California has the most EV charging stations in the United States, more than 14,000 with a total of 38,000 ports, especially around population centers and urban areas. You won’t have trouble finding power for your EV. Even better, refueling your car won’t cost as much as gasoline. Rather than $5 a gallon, you might get to charge your entire vehicle for $25, depending on the time of day, with public EV charging stations in California. The best-case scenario is charging your EV at home overnight as you sleep.
The state also offers California EV rebates in addition to federal tax credits. Major changes to the federal EV tax credit make it harder for manufacturers to qualify for the full $7,500. Depending on what state EV rebates and federal tax credits you qualify for, you could lower your overall purchase price of an EV in California! Add to that the decreasing EV prices as more models arrive at car dealerships around the state, California’s electric vehicle incentives are fantastic!
Not only does refueling electric vehicles in California cost less, you can recharge your EV batteries at home overnight when you sleep. You’ll need to have a qualified electrician install a special box in your garage. And some automakers provide these boxes for free. No more going to a smelly gas station!
