Charging

Did you know that electric vehicles are estimated to handle between 260 and 300+ miles on a single charge?

Charging your electric vehicle – whether at home or at a public charging station – is simple and convenient. While most owners do the majority of their charging at home, it’s not for everyone. Some prefer to watch the battery percentage in the same way you’d watch your gas gauge.

Environmental Impact

EVs primarily generate electricity through fossil fuels like coal and over time driving electric will reduce the total greenhouse gas emissions compared to a vehicle powered by gasoline. In addition, as electricity continues to be generated by newer, more environmentally friendly sources, this positive environmental impact will increase.
