BENEFITS OF DRIVING ELECTRIC IN GARDEN CITY, KS
As more automakers release their electric vehicles (EVs), drivers are taking notice. They are recognizing the benefits of driving fully-electric, plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid vehicles. Here at Legacy Auto Center, our team is happy to provide additional information about our electric vehicles and speak about the styles, performance information and capabilities.
SAVE MONEY ON FUEL AND MAINTENANCE
The number one benefit of driving an EV is reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and reducing tailpipe emissions. Even in models that combine a combustion engine with a battery and electric motor, you’ll get more miles per gallon out of your fuel than in a vehicle with only an internal combustion engine.
For example, the plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4XE has lower fuel costs thanks to its combined EPA-estimated fuel rating of 49 MPG, while the ICE Wrangler with the 3.6-liter V6 gets an EPA-estimated combined fuel rating of 25 MPG.

Fully-electric vehicles like the forthcoming 2024 Jeep Recon removes the need for fuel, as it relies on a lithium-ion battery as its only energy source. As more DC fast-charger stations rely on solar and wind energy, they provide even more eco-friendly benefits to drivers looking to reduce their impact on the environment.
Most EVs have fewer moving parts, so they have lower maintenance costs. Drivers who purchase the 2024 Jeep Recon will never visit their local Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM car dealership for oil changes.
IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING
A notable benefit of driving an electric vehicle is its impressive torque and performance. Because electric motors do not have transmissions, EVs don’t have the delay that comes from shifting. So, electric vehicles often have speedy zero-to-60 times when compared to vehicles with internal combustion engines. Plug-in hybrid vehicles like the Wrangler 4XE and Grand Cherokee 4XE have quick take-off when in all-electric mode.
All electric vehicles require battery charging either at home or on the road. Fortunately, most electric vehicles have a feature called regenerative braking. While this feature does not recharge a battery quickly, it can add a few extra miles to your all-electric driving.
Regenerative braking reverses the electric motor to return energy to the battery. The motor slows your vehicle and improves energy efficiency. Many new EVs have varying levels of brake regen, so they can use one-pedal driving and add miles to their range.
