Benefits
Value
Compare the costs of owning and operating an electric vehicle versus other vehicles.
Cost
Electric vehicles are typically more expensive than similar conventional and hybrid electric vehicles. However, the cost can be offset by fuel cost savings and tax credits or other incentives.
Cleaner Air
An Electric Vehicle in Indiana reduces up to 58% of emissions annually compared to a gasoline powered vehicle.
Lower Maintenance Cost
You won’t have to change items like oil and filter, oxygen sensors and spark plugs.
Quieter Inside and Out
Because electric motors are much quieter than gas-powered motors, EVs reduce traffic noise on roads, quieter on the ride in the car and quieter around your neighborhood streets.
Are you ready to plug in? There are a variety of things to consider before switching to an electric plug-in vehicle. From vehicle types and tax incentives to charging options and driving range.
How They Work
Electric vehicles use batteries that store energy to generate power versus an internal combustion engine that uses gas to generate the energy. The batteries are charged by plugging the vehicle into an electric power source. They can also be charged in part by regenerative braking, which generates electricity from some of the energy normally lost when braking.
Driving range
The current electric vehicles can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge, depending on the model. Range typically varies on driving/charging habits, conditions, and battery age.
