Did you know there is currently a $5000 incentive available for the purchase of a new electric vehicle? Do you know the benefits of owning a plug-in electric vehicle?
Plug In BC’s new BC-wide campaign, ‘Emotive: The Electric Vehicle Experience‘, is aimed at raising public awareness about plug-in electric vehicles. BC’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure is the best in Canada, with over 1,000 public and fleet charging stations. Emotive is getting the public excited about participating in the evolution of vehicles.
Global Affinity provided community outreach this summer/fall to help residents in the Comox Valley understand the benefits of owning an electric vehicle and how to access these incentives. You may have seen the booth at the Filberg Festival, Nautical Days or at the Comox Home Expo, with staff and volunteers chatting with residents about electric cars.
People could event check out the Chevy Bolt on display at the Filberg Festival to get a feel for this electric car (with a nearly 400 km range).
The benefits of EV ownership (provided by Plug In BC):
- Fun to Drive: Electric cars are super fun to drive! With instant torque and smooth acceleration, it’s a refreshing and exhilarating ride.
- Cost Savings: EVs cost as little as $320 a year to fuel. When compared to $2,400 for a gasoline vehicle*, those are big cost savings!
*Based on British Columbia gas prices and average driving assumptions. - Reduce Carbon Emissions: With no tailpipe, battery electric vehicles produce no harmful greenhouse gases. The only associated emissions after production come from upstream electricity generation within your grid, which can be little to none at all depending on the source.
- Diverse Models: There are a variety of electric vehicle models available, each with diverse ranges and price points. With over 30 to choose from in Canada, there are several that will meet your individual needs. View the latest list here.
- Latest Technologies: EVs have advanced technology, and many have mobile app integrations that provide information about the vehicle. The apps collect data that can tell you how far you can drive given your current battery charge, and even allow you to control your car by locking the doors or pre-heating the interior.
- Less Maintenance: Gasoline engines are complex with thousands of moving parts. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, have minimal moving parts. With fewer moving parts, necessary maintenance is significantly reduced. EV owners save time and money in comparison to conventional vehicle owners.
- Peace and Quiet: Once you take an EV for a spin, you realize how much noise a gasoline/diesel engine makes. Listing to music will be a completely new experience!
