While driving a Mercedes-Benz electric car is certainly a luxurious experience, that isn’t the only advantage of owning one. You’ll also benefit from their lower operating costs, eco-friendliness, and convenient charging options. Mercedes-Benz of Asheville is delving into all the details about the advantages of going green.
Lower Operating Costs
While it depends on your driving conditions, it’s typically more affordable to charge an electric vehicle (EV) than to fuel a gas-powered model. In fact, according to the New York Times, North Carolina drivers pay approximately $4.28 to drive 100 miles in an EV that was charged at home, while they’ll pay almost $11.48 in fuel to drive 100 miles. Plus, EVs are much more affordable to maintain, since you can skip the oil changes, oil filter replacements, and more.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
The eco-friendliness of a Mercedes-Benz electric car is one of its biggest benefits. While they do have some environmental impact from their battery production, they are much better for our planet than a fuel-powered vehicle. EVs don’t produce harmful tailpipe emissions, which helps to reduce air pollution and reduce your carbon footprint.
Convenient Charging Options
Charging a Mercedes-Benz electric car is designed to be as convenient as possible. At all Electrify America, IONNA, and Mercedes-Benz DC fast charging stations, you can utilize Plug & Charge if you’ve activated it in your Mercedes-Benz app. Once you plug in your EV, the station will process your payment automatically and begin charging. You can always quickly find the nearest charging station with your MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) navigation system.
