Costs

Although electric cars have a higher upfront cost than conventional cars there are a variety of incentives and lease options to help reduce these costs and allow drivers to upgrade to newer technologies faster. Electric car charging in California costs roughly half the price of powering a standard gasoline car for driving the same distance.

Electric cars don’t need oil changes, fuel filters or smog checks and due to regenerative braking, brake pads last longer. When you buy or lease an electric car, you won’t have to worry about replacing the battery any time soon since they come with extended battery warranties, with most covering 8-10 years and 100,000 or unlimited mileage.
