As battery technology advances, range increases, and consumer comfort level grows, more drivers than ever are intrigued by the unique benefits that come with owning an electric vehicle (EV). A recent Consumer Report Survey reports that 71% of American adults with a valid driver’s license are interested in owning an EV at some point.
Convenience is a key factor; there are more public charging options available for EV owners to plug into.
Gasoline — a fossil fuel created from crude oil — is not a permanent resource, which means gas-powered vehicles are dependent upon an inefficient fuel source that cannot be easily replaced.
Owning an EV comes with many financial perks, but one of the biggest is the ability to qualify for potential incentives and rebates. Discover what potential EV incentives are available in your area.
Depending upon what city you live in, driving an EV could qualify you for an all-access pass to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes (lanes typically reserved for vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers), regardless of your vehicle size or the number of passengers.
Compared to internal combustion engines, all-electric motors feature fewer moving parts —which can mean less maintenance and lower routine maintenance costs [*]. These motors do not require starters, fuel pumps, and exhaust systems, so drivers don’t have to worry about these components wearing out over time.
Additionally, EV owners avoid the maintenance costs that come with using an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion engines are loud and require an entire exhaust system to reduce their decibel levels. All-electric motors, however, produce very little sound while operating. This allows an EV driver to enjoy a quiet ride while reducing noise pollution.
While EVs are much quieter than gas-powered vehicles, they don’t fall short on power or performance. With the ability to generate 100% torque from 0 revolutions per minute (RPM) due to the immediate transfer of electrical energy, EVs get up and go.
Whether you choose the advanced LEAF electric vehicle or the ARIYA electric SUV, Nissan EVs have the power to change not only how you drive, but how you live as well.
The all-electric ARIYA is a revolution in advanced electric performance and breakthrough design for the next generation of EV driving.
