Three advantages of driving an electric vehicle to work every day

Electric vehicles have gotten more popular in recent years, but in the last few months their popularity has grown even more. The rising cost of fuel across Canada has pushed many consumers to consider buying an EV as their next vehicle. And yet, there are still many questions about electric vehicles and the advantages they offer.

We are not here to tell you that electric vehicles are the right option for everyone, but what we can tell you is that they definitely offer distinct advantages to their owners. You will notice these benefits in many different situations including on your way to and from work every day.  Most EV owners will tell you that this is when they truly love their electric car or SUV.

Here are three advantages of driving an electric vehicle to work and back.

A quiet and refined ride

If you have ever experienced an electric vehicle before, you know that one of their most discerning characteristics is how quiet they are. Electric vehicles barely make a sound because their electric motors are inherently quiet. The only sound you will hear is your tires on the road, and more often than not that sound doesn't make it into the cockpit. An electric vehicle provides a very relaxing environment which is enjoyed in the mornings on our way to work and back home in the evenings after a hectic day.

You will also appreciate the impressive performance and quick accelerations provided by an electric vehicle. Electric motors deliver their torque instantaneously which translates into an immediate response from the vehicle as soon as you nudge the accelerator. That’s great for getting around the city or passing with confidence on the highway.

Special perks for EV drivers

Whether it's a dedicated lane on the highway that is never congested, parking reserved for electric vehicles only in the city, or special rates for parking or tolls with an EV, there are many perks that come with driving an EV. 

More money in your pocket

Driving an electric vehicle to and from work every day means saving a lot of money on the cost of fuel as well as on the cost of maintenance. An electric vehicle uses electricity which is much more affordable than gas, and there are less mechanical components to maintain and service which means the overall cost of ownership of an EV is significantly less than a gas powered vehicle.
