MAKING THE EV SWITCH THIS FALL: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

The world is constantly changing, and so is the way we move around. The dawn of electric vehicles or EVs has already changed everything we know about cars. With its undeniable advantages, more and more people are becoming drawn to the electric future. In this primer, we’ll explore reasons why you should make the switch from gas to electric and why Abeloff Kia is your premier destination when you do.

Reasons To Make The Switch

Range: One of the main reasons why people hesitated to switch to electric cars in the past was because of their limited range. However, technological advancements have made it possible for modern EVs to deliver over 200 miles of range on a full charge, which is already comparable to its gas counterpart. At Kia, we offer long-range models that deliver up to 310 miles of EPA-estimated range. With this range, you won’t even have to think twice about stopping for a recharge.

Price: The cost of fuel is one of the biggest expenses any car owner has to contend with. However, when you switch to an EV, you get to save a lot of money in the long run. Charging your EV is cheaper and much more consistent than dealing with ever-fluctuating gas prices. Reports show that consumers save an average of $1,000 per year on gas money when they switch to electric. Also, EVs require far less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles – no oil changes, fewer moving parts – which makes them much more wallet-friendly in the long run.

Practical concerns: Charging your EV has never been more versatile. With home charging stations or charging stations available in many public places, you have sufficient options to charge while on the road. Additionally, electric motors tend to be smaller than gas engines, allowing EVs to have more storage space for you and your family. And of course, the most important thing: EVs have no direct emissions, making them environmentally friendly and ensuring a better future for generations to come.

Kia Leads the EV Charge 

While we await the dynamic 2024 Kia EV9, it’s a great time to check out the 2023 EV6. As powerful as they are efficient, the EV6 is here to change your notion of what an electric SUV can be.  

With a starting price point around $44,000, the EV6 comes in around $8,000 cheaper than the Tesla Model Y. Its panoramic curved infotainment display is superior to the Model Y’s in terms of accessing information while driving, and the EV6 features forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, adaptive highway cruise control, and more.
