Buying an Electric Vehicle in the Central Valley from Merced Chevrolet

After careful research, reading online reviews and taking a few test drives, you've finally decided to buy an electric vehicle. Electric vehicle are the vehicles of the future. Most manufacturers are shifting their research and development entirely to electric vehicles. California is seeing an increase of EVs on the road and more charging stations so it's easier to charge your vehicle.

What Should I Consider Before Buying an EV?

Driving an EV isn't very different from driving any other vehicle, but there ARE differences. EVs differ from vehicles with an internal combustion engine (ICE) in "what's under the hood." From the electric motor to the drivetrain and the battery, the differences couldn't be greater. That said, the driving experience is not very different, and that's part of what makes the transition so easy. After all, an EV is still a vehicle. The difference is in how the two different engines generate power.
