Electric Vehicle Incentives

Electric vehicles are the next big thing in the automotive world. These vehicles are fun to drive, cheaper and easier to maintain than gas-powered vehicles, and contribute fewer emissions into the air. As more brands release their EV models, it is essential to understand the benefits of owning one, as it can help save you money and even provide a seamless driving experience. The main difference between a gas-powered vehicle and an electric one is that they run on a battery. Over time this will help save on costs that would have been spent otherwise at the pump, produce zero tailpipe emissions, and travel significant distances on a single charge. Plus, with various tax incentives available and a fast-growing network of charging stations, find out if owning an EV is the right choice for you.

These vehicles are plug-in hybrid technology that pairs a traditional gas engine with incredible electric motor performance. There's no need for range anxiety when traveling to distant destinations, thanks to the partnership between 4xe technology and the support of your gas-powered engine. These vehicles offer near-silent, pure EV-driven performance when in electric mode. Plus, you can adjust the electric output to conform to different driving conditions, recharge, and do it all over again. However, Jeep plans to release fully-electric vehicles in the coming years. By 2024 Jeep intends to release the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S and the Jeep Recon.

What Are The Benefits Of EVs And PHEVs?

Some may believe owning an EV is only suitable for reducing fuel consumption. However, compared to cars with the conventional internal combustion engine, these electric vehicles stand out by offering various advantages, including:

• EVs' zero-emission performance contributes to a healthier environment and a better future for all. 
• PHEVs use 30% to 60% less petroleum than traditional vehicles, thus reducing the dependence on oil.
• EVs utilize fewer moving parts, making them more accessible and cost-effective for preservation and repairs. 
• The battery pack is strategically positioned for more even weight distribution and smoother control. 
• Public Charging Stations - Over 40,000 public stations country-wide where you can charge your EV.
• Federal Tax Credit: A tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500 could be yours just for buying a new EV or PHEV. Check with your sales associate to find out if the model is eligible for rebates and incentives.
