Is an EV Right for Me?
What are my daily driving patterns?
The average person drives 40 miles each day commuting to work and running errands. If that aligns with
your daily mileage, consider a battery electric vehicle (BEV). Nearly all new BEVs cover at least 200 miles,
and charging overnight should keep it ready for your commute.

How will I charge my vehicle?
BEVs operate solely on electricity and recharge by plugging into a charger. PHEVs must also be charged, but they can operate on gas if the charge runs out.
A 240-volt connection and compatible charging station in your garage will allow for overnight charging. Talk to your cooperative for potential rebates on a charger. Home electrical upgrades may be required.

How much will it cost?
The purchase price of EVs may be higher than similar gasoline vehicles, but this is offset by lower operating and maintenance costs (no more oil changes!). There are also federal tax credits to assist with the purchase of new and used EVs.
