Estimate Your SavingsTop 3 Reasons to Go Electric
Fuel & Maintenance Savings
EVs cost up to 70% less per mile — no oil changes, timing belts, exhaust work. Check out our guide to the least expensive EVs.
Convenience
Fuel on your own time: at home while you sleep, at work, while parked. Gas cars can only be fueled at gas stations; EVs charge wherever there’s electricity.
Cleaner Air = Healthier Lives
Zero tailpipe emissions = less smog, fewer asthma attacks and cancer, and healthier lungs.
Busting EV Myths
Range Anxiety?
Most new EVs go 200–300+ miles on one charge.
Charging Concerns?
80% of charging happens at home. The network of public fast chargers is growing rapidly.
Too Expensive?
With incentives, cheaper fuel & lower operating costs, many EVs match gas car prices – for high-mileage drivers, EVs can save on monthly costs from Day One.
Take Action
Get Started
Test drive an EV at a local dealership, an EV demo near you, or by renting one.

If you feel you don’t yet know enough about how to get off of gasoline, or are just uncertain, here are some ways to get started:
- Write down how many miles you drive on a normal day, and use that to determine how many miles of range you will need to feel comfortable driving an EV.
- Consider how many long road trips you take each year. For each, can you afford to stop for 30 minutes every 200 miles or so to recharge? If not, can you use a 2nd car for those trips? Consider the option of switching to an EV for the majority of your driving, and renting a hybrid or gasoline car for the few times you need it. The savings from driving electric will likely far outweigh the rental costs.
- Start following Facebook owner group pages of the makes and models you’re considering, such as the Chevy Bolt EV Owners Group.
- Rent, borrow or test drive an electric vehicle this month, to get a feel for how they drive and what might be right for you.
- Commit that your current vehicle will be your last gasoline vehicle.
