- Do Electric Vehicles Use the Electric Grid?: Yes. When you charge your EV, whether it is at home or in public, you’ll be using electricity from the grid.
- How Much Does It Cost to Charge an Electric Vehicle?: Public EV charging typically costs between $0.20 and $0.30 per kilowatt-her-hour.
- Are Electric Vehicles Better for the Environment?: Because EVs offer zero tailpipe emissions and reduced greenhouse gases, they are better for the environment than gas cars.
- Do Electric Vehicles Have Transmission?: EVs have either single-speed transmissions or two-speed transmissions. Visit our dealership near Kissimmee to explore our transmission options.
- Do Electric Vehicles Require Oil Changes?: Because EVs do not have internal combustion engines, they do not need oil changes.
