New Tool Helps Drivers Calculate Potential Savings of Switching to Electric Vehicles
A new online calculator is being hailed as a game-changer for anyone considering making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV). According to Josh Boone, executive director of Veloz, industry group pushing for rapid adoption of EVs, people's top concern is saving money. And it turns out that switching to an EV can indeed yield significant savings.
According to Veloz's calculations, drivers can save around $2,000 per year on gas, which translates to approximately $166 per month. However, these savings vary depending on how much and how far you drive. The calculator takes into account several factors, including the type of EV you plan to buy, your annual mileage, the fuel efficiency of your current gas vehicle, average gasoline prices in your area, and even your zip code to determine local electricity costs.
By plugging these numbers into Veloz's online calculator - ElectricForAll.org - drivers can get a rough estimate of their potential savings. The website also highlights the maintenance benefits of EVs, citing fewer moving parts and reduced need for oil changes, spark plugs, and tune-ups as significant cost savers.
With the rise of EV adoption, tools like this one are crucial in helping consumers make informed decisions about their transportation options. As Veloz continues to promote electric vehicles, it's clear that saving money - and reducing environmental impact - can be a compelling reason to consider making the switch.
