While we await the arrival of our flagship Honda EV, the Honda Prologue, Honda Van Nuys is taking a moment to address some common EV myths. Separating fact from fiction can make transitioning to EV driving easier and help you feel more secure, so let’s debunk three of the most common things we hear about electric vehicles.
You’ll Have a Limited Range
Most EV models today offer ranges comparable to a car with a full tank of gas. Combine that with a robust charging infrastructure (especially here in California), and you can even plan long road trips without having to worry about range.
The truth is that most drivers in America spend their time close to home, typically between school, work, and their own driveways. That means you won’t need to utilize all those hundreds of miles of range that often, and you’ll be able to keep up with a simple charging schedule.
EVs Cost More Money
Because the technology for developing electric vehicles is becoming more affordable, EVs today are often available for around the same price as their internal combustion engine counterparts. There are also many ways to save when purchasing EV models, like fuel and maintenance costs. Some tax incentives may even be available for EV owners.
EVs Aren’t As Fast
The opposite is true. If you’re looking for a car with an impressive time off the line, an EV model might be the right option. Because EV models start out at maximum torque, they are often quicker to top speed.
