Electric vehicles (EVs) have always been more expensive and less common than gasoline-powered automobiles, but that is changing. Newer electric and hybrid vehicles are becoming more affordable and easier to find than ever. In fact, buying an electric vehicle such as the Hyundai IONIQ 5 or the Hyundai Kona EV might make more sense than shopping for an equivalent gas-powered car. Here are a few reasons why purchasing an electric vehicle from Schimmer Hyundai of Peru is a wise decision.

More Affordable to Drive

Driving an electric can actually save you money in the long run. By driving a car that is powered by electricity instead of gasoline, you might save as much as $5,000 in fuel costs over a five-year period.

Easier to Maintain

Since electric vehicles don't rely on an internal combustion engine to operate, they don't have as many moving parts and require less maintenance. With an EV, Peru drivers won't have to worry about oil changes, coolant, your transmission, or anything else that comes with maintaining a traditional vehicle. You'll still have to keep an eye on your tires and brakes, but you'll save plenty of time and money on service center visits when you drive an electric car.

Tax Incentives

Depending on the make and model you purchase, buying an electric vehicle could help you qualify for a federal tax incentive to offset the car's overall price.

Helping the Environment

Finally, driving an electric vehicle is simply better for the environment. It releases zero emissions, and you won't have to rely on fossil fuels - which are in increasingly short supply - to keep your car running.
