  • 2023 BMW iX

 

The electric car market is booming, and as EVs become more prevalent on the Raleigh streets, more drivers are thinking about leaving traditional gas-powered vehicles behind. But, for those a little more cautious, they’ll want to know: Why buy a BMW electric car? What are the benefits of electric vehicles?  Find out in this guide to the benefits of electric vehicles from BMW of Southpoint and then browse the BMW electric lineup available at our Durham dealership!

 

BMW All-Electric Lineup HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE AN ELECTRIC CAR

 

Benefits of Electric Vehicles

More electric cars, trucks, and SUVs are announced every day, all equipped with the latest and greatest technology for inspired design and efficiency. Whether you’re interested in an electric sedan like the BMW i4 or an electric SUV like the BMW iX, you can enjoy the following benefits in all-electric vehicles:

  • Performance: For Cary drivers who love the thrill of quick acceleration and tight handling, electric cars deliver. Electric motors are capable of creating near-instantaneous torque that can be used for navigating hilly terrain with ease or adding some adrenaline to your morning commute.
  • Quieter Drive: With no combustion engine under the hood, electric cars tend to have a much quieter drive, allowing you to talk, listen, or call without worrying about compensating for the noise of the engine.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, leading to less maintenance required than that of a conventional gas vehicle.
  • Zero Emissions: Electric cars create little to no emissions when driving as they do not use fossil fuels to create forward momentum. The lack of exhaust is just one of the many environmental benefits of electric cars!
  • Renewable Energy: Another environmental benefit of electric cars is that you can charge up your vehicle using renewable energy. Use the renewable energy created from your home or enjoy charging stations that pull from wind, solar, or water resources to reduce your carbon footprint.

BMW EV Sustainability

So, why buy a BMW electric car? In addition to offering all the aforementioned benefits of electric cars, BMW electric cars are made with renewable energy, recycling, and ethical sourcing in mind. Some of the main points of the BMW EV sustainability program include:

  • Responsibly Sourced Materials: The BMW EV lineup is designed to use as many sustainably sourced materials as possible, including everything from FSC-certified eucalyptus wood to naturally tanned leathers.
  • Fewer Production Emissions: A major portion of the BMW EV sustainability initiative focuses on reducing CO2 emissions and creating EV batteries using 100% renewable energy to minimize the brand’s overall environmental impact.
  • Elevated Battery Technology: All BMW EV batteries use responsibly sourced lithium and cobalt, and the latest developments in BMW EV battery technology are working to eliminate rare-earth materials from the process altogether.

What to Do Before Buying an EV

While there are plenty of great benefits to buying electric vehicles, they do require a change in driving habits. Take these steps before purchasing your next electric vehicle:

  1. Prepare Your Garage: One of the easiest ways to keep your EV’s range topped up is to have a charging station installed in your garage. Whether you opt for a slower Level 1 charger or a quicker Level 2 charger, many drivers find that an at-home charging station makes the switch to an electric car more convenient.
  2. Find Local Charging Stations: Charging infrastructure is constantly expanding, but it’s a good idea to make a list of all the public charging stations in the Chapel Hill area. Find an Electrify America charging station to charge up your BMW EV for even more savings!
  3. Explore Incentives: Many EVs and plug-in hybrids are eligible for tax incentives and credits. Talk to our finance team about whether or not your favorite BMW qualifies and see how you can save when you purchase an electric vehicle.
