View InventorySix Main Benefits Of EV Ownership
EVs are energy-efficient
Electric motors are more efficient than internal combustion engines and traditional drivetrains at converting stored energy into movement. Many EVs also provide unique energy-efficient features like regenerative braking that convert the kinetic energy lost while decelerating into stored energy within the vehicle's battery.
EVs require less standard maintenance
Compared to internal combustion engines, all-electric motors feature fewer moving parts — which can mean less maintenance and lower routine maintenance costs. EV owners avoid oil changes, filter changes, and other combustion-engine-related maintenance.
EVs operate more quietly
All-electric motors produce very little sound while operating, allowing for a quiet ride and reduced noise pollution.
EVs are eligible for potential tax credits
EV ownership may qualify for potential tax credits, rebates, and incentives depending on location and eligibility. Consult a tax advisor for details.
EVs may be allowed in HOV lanes and designated parking spots
In some regions, EVs qualify for HOV lane access regardless of passenger count and may have access to designated or discounted parking options.
Complimentary EV Charging
Qualifying LEAF buyers receive $100 EVgo charging credits. Restrictions apply.
