If you're interested in making the switch, our team here at LaFontaine Volvo Cars of Farmington Hills can guide you forward. We've created this guide on why buy an electric vehicle to help you make an informed decision, so read on!

What Are the Benefits of Buying an Electric Vehicle?

First and foremost, electric vehicles run on electricity rather than gasoline, meaning they produce zero emissions. For those who want to live an eco-friendlier lifestyle, electric vehicles offer a great option to reduce your carbon footprint. Beyond that, the benefits continue!

Less Routine Maintenance

Since electric vehicles don't have an engine or other components that require routine maintenance, drivers can focus on everyday adventures with reduced operating costs.

Quieter Ride

On top of being more fuel efficient than their gas-powered counterparts, electric vehicles are quieter too. This means you can enjoy the sound of silence, listen to your favorite album, or talk with your co-pilot with less noise interference as you drive.

Better Weight Distribution

Low mounted battery packs in electric vehicles also have better weight distribution. This impacts its acceleration and handling, which can lead to a more balanced driving experience.

Reliable Electric Range

Along with that, electric vehicles also offer a remarkable range. Many models currently available on the market offer single-charge ranges between 150 and 400 miles. When it comes to recharging, the options keep growing with 21,000 public charging stations across the United States.

Multiple Charging Options

In addition to public charging stations, electric vehicle owners can supplement their at-home charging wall box options. To help make it easier to access the nation's largest public charging network, Volvo has partnered with ChargePoint.

Rebates & Incentives

Though it varies by state, electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle owners can qualify for a federal tax incentive upon purchasing a qualified vehicle, such as through the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP). Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle owners may also be eligible for incentives when they install at-home charging stations.

Electric Vehicle Inventory

At our dealership, we frequently offer a variety of electric vehicles for sale like the Volvo C40 and the Volvo XC40, which both feature electric-only powertrains. We also offer plug-in hybrid Volvo options, including the Volvo XC90, the XC60, the S60, the S90, and the V60.

These fuel-efficient vehicles draw from a combination of electric and gas-based components to power them forward. They feature two special modes, including Hybrid mode, which is perfect for long drives, and Pure electric mode that enables you to cruise on electric power along for short spurts.

When you visit our dealership, one of our sales representatives will be there to answer any questions you may have and introduce you to your favorite electric or plug-in hybrid models in person.
