More reasons to buy an EV.
Extremely quiet

Excellent acceleration
Driving should be fun. And that’s exactly what 0-100 mph acceleration in 20 seconds is: fun.
Low maintenance
No oil changes and fewer broken parts not only means you save money over the lifetime of owning an EV, but you have fewer headaches too.
