    Buying a vehicle can be a thrilling experience. There’s nothing like that new car smell as you hit the road and get to know your new ride. Of course, there are many factors to consider, including your needs, budget, and more. It’s also a good idea to consider whether you want a gas or electric vehicle (EV). 

    Not too long ago, the answer was clear cut in favor of gas vehicles. But nowadays, there are many advantages to buying an EV. Perhaps that’s why close to 2 million such cars are registered in the United States, according to Pew Research Center. Here are some of the most significant benefits of going with an EV:

    #1 Savings

    While the upfront cost of buying an EV can be higher than a car that runs on gas, the long-term fuel cost savings are plentiful. Instead of spending thousands of dollars a year, you spend nothing on gas with an EV. In five years, the average North American can save around 10,000 USD. 

    EVs also have an advantage over gas-powered vehicles in upkeep. A gas engine needs regular oil replacement and filter change, while an EV doesn’t. Also, several parts in a gas-powered engine are prone to breakage that you won’t find in an EV.  

    #2 Government Incentives 

    Depending on your location, you may be surprised to learn that EVs aren’t much more costly than gas-powered vehicles. This is because many localities that are interested in investing in a sustainable future offer incentives that add up to significant savings for purchasers of EVs. 

    #3 Ride Quality

    There’s a common misconception amongst gas vehicle enthusiasts that electric vehicles are slower. On the contrary, the right electric vehicle can offer significantly more acceleration than its gas-powered counterpart. Moreover, many electric vehicles feature futuristic technology and outstanding drive quality. 

    The demand for EVs is so high that many icons of the industry are switching to electric. Take, for example, the Ford Mustang. The all-electric Mustang Mach-E is making waves across the industry for its modern design, sleek and muscular curves, cutting-edge technology, and traditional 0-60 thrills that earn it the iconic Mustang badge. 

     #4 Increasing Charging Stations

    While the number of gas stations outnumbers EV charging stations, public charging stations are catching up. Currently, there are over 40,000 EV charging stations in the United States, according to the Department of Energy. With the government making sustainability a priority, expect this number to go up.  

    #5 The Environment

    We saved the best reason for the end. The most critical reason to buy an EV is that they’re more eco-friendly. A gas-powered vehicle burns fossil fuels and releases carbon monoxide, nitrogen, hydrocarbons, and other hazardous chemicals. 

    Of course, EVs are not entirely emissions-free. Such vehicles with lithium-based batteries require more energy to manufacture than traditional cars. Additionally, they’re not environmentally sound in locations with coal-powered electrical grids that don’t produce clean energy. But study after study shows that EVs are significantly more eco-friendly over their lifespans. 

    These are five excellent reasons to buy an electric car. Not only are EVs the more sustainable option, but they’re high-tech and can be a blast to drive.
