Is an Electric Vehicle Right for You?

EVs are highly popular on today’s roads. This is because they cater to the majority of drivers, whether they’re commuting through city traffic or embarking on weekend trips out of town. You’ll want to take the following into consideration when you’re intrigued about EV ownership:

• Daily Mileage: Do you tend to stick close to home, or do you travel a lot for work—so much so that you tend to travel beyond a typical EV’s range? Keep in mind that many EVs nowadays can handle long drives without issue, and don’t forget that charging stations are available along most routes.
• Charging Access: Does at-home charging fit your schedule and your home? Do you have a place to plug in your EV or install a home charging unit? Do you know where your nearest public charging station is located? These are questions to ask yourself.
• Spatial Needs: There are many EV models available today, varying in size and capabilities. Finding one that meets your passenger and cargo needs, regardless of your powertrain preferences, is key.
• Travel Habits: Are you in a position to ensure that your mileage doesn’t extend beyond what your EV is capable of? If not, are you able to find a nearby public charging station to charge your vehicle? If you regularly embark on longer drives, you’ll want to factor in how you’re going to charge on the way. If you travel locally, owning an EV is a great way to enhance efficiency.
• Capabilities: EVs are found in many situations. You’ll find tough trucks that are powered by electricity, as well as family vehicles. Know what you want from your vehicle, then decide whether an EV will serve you adequately.

Here at Sheehan Buick GMC, we’ll help you figure out if an EV will work for you. Owning an electric vehicle depends on your typical travel routine and available charging access, not just universal suitability. Taking these key factors into consideration will help you decide if an EV will influence your travels in all the right ways.

Charging and EV Ownership

Driving an EV isn’t quite the same as driving a gas-powered vehicle; however, you’ll quickly find that there are many perks that you’ll get to enjoy. For one, charging can be simple and seamless. Instead of having to go to the gas station to fill up, you can just plug your vehicle in right at home. Of course, you can’t forget about all the good that EVs do for our environment, either.

It’s important to take some key factors into consideration, though, to ensure that EV ownership fits your needs and expectations. The team at Sheehan Buick GMC can help you with this, especially when you consider the following important details.

Home & Public Charging 

It’s convenient to have a place to charge your EV at home, but not everyone is in a position to do this. If you have a place to charge at home, make time in your schedule to charge your EV regularly—preferably when you get home from work—so it becomes a habit.

You will also want to keep in mind that charging your EV will affect your utility bill; however, saving money on gas can often offset this increase in utility prices. If you plan to use public charging, you will want to ensure there is a place nearby that you can access easily.

There are many charging locations in Florida. Finding them is as easy as utilizing your smartphone or car’s built-in navigation system.

Route Planning

Just like you plan a trip around gas station access, owning an EV will have you planning your trip around charging station access or the ability to arrive at your destination without having to charge on the way. Planning ahead is always a good idea, regardless of whether you’re driving an EV or a gas vehicle.

Other Factors

Colder climates aren’t best for EVs because low temperatures can deplete batteries more quickly. Warm climates are better for EV ownership, which is why we here at Sheehan Buick GMC have such a great inventory of them. Given that you typically travel in warmer climates, EVs are exceptional options.

You will also want to consider the charging connector and your expected charging habits when owning an EV. Knowing that you have a location to connect your EV and charge it is a must. You’ll also want to ensure that your connector will work at the majority of your local charging locations.

Remember, making charging a habit will alleviate any issues with your vehicle not having enough battery to take you where you need to go. Plug your vehicle in when you arrive home from work and wake up to a fully charged vehicle. It’s important to understand your charging equipment and model-specific ownership information before you make your choice.

Financing, Trade-In, and Service Support

Our experts can help you find the right EV for you. We can also help you determine the right way to pay for your vehicle. Through excellent financing guidance, you’ll be able to drive away with a payment plan that you’re comfortable with, whether you wish to buy your next EV or lease it.
