Hybrid and electric vehicles are becoming increasingly commonplace on North American roads. This is a huge step towards a world that exerts less carbon footprint. Besides the environmental benefits, what are some of the other advantages associated with owning a MINI Cooper electric vehicle?
Never Pay for Gas Again
With an electric vehicle, you save so much money and time by never having to stop by a gas station to refuel. Gas prices seem to be ever-rising, putting Florida families in a tight position financially. You can completely nullify this expense with the purchase or lease of a MINI EV.
Less Maintenance
We must emphasize that electric vehicles are NOT maintenance-free. Parts like the tires, motor, and electric components still require regular servicing at a dealership service center. However, unlike gas-powered vehicles, EVs do not require routine services such as oil changes.
More Comfortable
Many electric car owners noted how much more comfortable their vehicle feels in comparison to their old gas-powered vehicle. The weight and placement of the batteries mean a lower center of gravity, leading to improved handling and comfort. In addition, the electric motor is also quieter than a conventional combustible engine, creating less noise pollution.
More Storage Capacity
While the battery does take up significant space, EVs also don’t have a bulky engine and transmission. For this reason, EVs tend to have more legroom as well as storage space. Some models even have an extra trunk in the front, also known as a “frunk.”
Investing in an EV is a smart decision that will benefit both the environment and your wallet. Come by Orlando MINI to see our range of electric models and take a test drive today!
