If you've been considering purchasing an electric or hybrid vehicle, you're not alone. According to the New York Times, "at least two-thirds of American drivers are open to buying an E.V.." While driving an electric is easy, it does come with a charging issue that many drivers haven't had to deal with yet. So, how do you prepare for owning an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle?
First, you'll want to think about how you're going to charge it. There are multiple different ways that most electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles can be charged. Of course, each brand offers a different set up too, so you'll want to research the electric model you love more in-depth. Here are a few of the most common ways drivers have set up their lives for an electric model.
- Installing A More Powerful Outlet - While you can charge your electric vehicle with a normal household outlet, it's going to take a long time. For the quick charge that your busy Millburn or Morristown life needs, you may want to install a 220-volt or 240-volt outlet. These are similar to the outlets for dryers and will most likely need an electrician to install them.
- Knowing Where The Nearest Charging Station Is - There are thousands of charging stations across the U.S., you just need to know where they are in relation to you. Check the charging station map to see where you can quick charge as you run errands around Wayne, NJ, Short Hills, or beyond.
- Figuring Out What Maintenance Looks Like For An EV - Routine maintenance changes when you own an electric or hybrid vehicle. Batteries are expensive to replace, but extremely necessary, but you'll be saving money on everything that's involved with a gasoline system, like oil changes.
