10 Things to Consider When Driving Electric Vehicles

Transitioning from a traditional gas powered vehicle to a BMW EV is a seamless transition when working with the team at our BMW dealership in Boulder, CO, but there are a few things you’ll need to consider before buying or leasing.

1. The Vehicle’s Driving Range: Knowing how far you can drive on fully electric power is important. Driving ranges typically exceed 250 miles, but several BMW EVs offer you even more miles on the road. With DC fast chargers, you can also add more charge within minutes, but access to national charging stations is easy.
2. Locations of Public Charging Stations: When considering buying or leasing a BMW EV, it’s important to first locate public charging stations along your route so you can zap the battery in no time.
3. BMW EV Options: In addition to all-electric power, a BMW EV is equipped with bold style, comfort-driven interior spaces and driver assistance technologies. Make sure a BMW EV has the options you want when browsing our collection.
4. Charging Options: It’s important to know that when driving electric vehicles, you must plan accordingly. Not only do you need to locate public charging stations but you also need to plug-in at home. Luckily, the high-end technology with the iX, i4 and i7 BMW EVs keep you well aware of charging stations and the need to charge.
5. Available Incentives: Driving electric vehicles comes with many cost-effective benefits. Although you’re gaining savings at the pump, you can also gain federal tax credit when driving electric vehicles. Save even more with the new vehicle specials from our BMW dealership in Boulder, CO.
6. Cost to Insure BMW EVs: As with buying a gas-powered vehicle, we recommend checking with your insurance company to determine if your premiums will increase with a BMW EV.
7. Long Road Trips: One of the hesitations buyers have when considering a BMW EV is whether or not they can travel long distances. With more and more charging stations available, it’s easier than ever to charge up and take your BMW EV cross country.
8. Duration of Ownership: Since electric vehicles are relatively new, many individuals have to consider how long they may own the vehicle. If you do add up the fuel savings even over a short term, it’s clearly a good investment.
9. Buy or Lease? Sometimes, buyers want to try out driving electric vehicles before fully committing. That’s why a lease for a BMW EV is a great choice. The terms last only 36 months and you’ll have the option to purchase the BMW EV if you love it.
10. New or Used BMW EVs: Which is better? New or used vehicles? The choice is up to you. Although you may pay less for a used BMW EV, a newer model will have more technology, increased driving ranges and bold safety features you may not get with older models.
