2024 Blue Chevy Equinox EV
 

Chevy has been making affordable EVs for more than a decade, starting with the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV. Now, the automaker has three new offerings that will elevate every drive in Eastpointe and beyond while lowering your refueling costs and maintenance expenses. Our guide to buying an EV near Eastpoint, MI, will show you how one of these new vehicles can help you have more effective daily drives in Warren, weekend getaways to the UP, and road trips with your family. Read on to learn more!

 

What to Consider Before Buying an EV Near Eastpointe, MI

Shopping for an EV near Eastpointe, MI, differs slightly from buying a gasoline-only vehicle. The first thing you’ll notice is the price. EVs might be pricier to start, but you could get a rebate of $7,500, thanks to federal tax incentives. This rebate works by lowering your price at the time of purchase. 

We also highly recommend installing a home charging unit separate from other circuits in your home. You’ll need to hire an electrician to install this in your garage. You could easily lower your refueling costs when recharging your vehicle overnight while you sleep.

Costs of Owning an EV Near Eastpointe, MI

One of the main benefits of driving an EV is that the overall costs of owning an EV in St. Clair Shores are often lower than gasoline-powered models. First, refueling costs could be as much as 60% lower compared to a gasoline-powered vehicle of similar size and capability. According to the University of Michigan, an EV costs half as much to refuel as a gasoline-powered vehicle. 

There are fewer moving parts in an EV, meaning your maintenance costs are also lower. There are no sparkplugs, pistons, or motor oil.  You won’t have to worry about:

  • Oil changes
  • Spark plugs
  • Transmission fluid changes
  • Transmission service
  • Engine air filter changes
  • Fuel filter changes
  • And more! 

Regenerative braking can save wear and tear on your brake pads, too. But make sure to get a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, as EVs are typically heavier than gasoline-only vehicles.
