为什么要开电动汽车??
It’s time to get excited for an electric transportation future! 以下是考虑使用电动汽车的三个重要原因.
电动汽车开起来很有趣
没人想开一辆无聊的车. 好在电动汽车一点也不无聊.
- 电动机产生近乎瞬时的扭矩. This means EVs can have extremely fast acceleration and a zippy feel compared to gas-powered cars.
- 电动汽车很安静，几乎完全消除了发动机噪音. And, their ergonomic design tends to reduce wind noise at higher speeds.
电动汽车可以帮你省钱
A 《十大彩票平台》 研究发现，电动汽车可以卖到6美元,000 to $10,000 cheaper over the life of the vehicle than comparable gas-powered cars despite the higher upfront cost. 其中很大一部分是节省燃料和维护费用.
- Electricity is much cheaper – and prices more stable – than gasoline, especially in Washington. 以现行价格计算, 节省2美元以上是完全有可能的,如果换成电动汽车，每年的燃油费用就会减少5000万美元, 如果不是更多的话.
- EVs have fewer parts to maintain than gas-powered cars and don’t require transmission fluid, 火花塞或换油. 每五年节省的维护费用可超过1000美元.
电动汽车对地球更好
Currently, transportation accounts for 45 percent of Washington’s emissions. Switching to electric vehicles will be vital to creating a cleaner future.
- Switching to an EV can reduce your annual CO2 emissions from driving by 65 percent to over 90 percent.
- EVs don’t produce tailpipe emissions, leading to cleaner air in our communities.

电动自行车
你不需要一辆车来实现电动化. Electric bicycles – or e-bikes – are a type of electric vehicle and can replace many car trips. They also produce less than 1 percent of the CO2 of an electric car, 每年燃料成本低于50美元, 而且骑起来很有趣.

联邦税收抵免
最多节省7美元,500 when purchasing qualified new electric vehicles or up to $4,000 on qualified pre-owned EVs in the form of a reduction to your income tax bill. Restrictions around vehicle price, buyer income level, and battery and vehicle manufacturing apply. 注意:这些限制不适用于租赁电动汽车, which means the dealership is free to pass along the full $7,任何型号都有500分.

电动汽车的范围
Knowing you’ll have enough charge to get to your destination is a real concern when making the switch to an electric vehicle. 然而, it’s likely most every EV on the market will be able to handle your daily driving needs on a single charge. In 2023, the average range for a new EV under $50,000 was over 256 miles per charge. +, 大多数电动汽车都在家里充电, 每天早上你都可以充上电. 长途旅行, available charging solutions – including at workplaces and public spaces – are increasing.

电动汽车电池
Batteries are a hot topic when it comes to electric vehicles. 你可能会想知道一些事情:
- 更换电动汽车电池可能会很昂贵. 然而，你不太可能需要花钱更换它. Most 电动汽车电池 are under warranty for eight to 10 years and 100,000 to 150,000 miles.
- 电动汽车电池是安全的. There are strict standards for limiting chemical spillage from batteries and securing batteries during a crash.
- While electric vehicles are overall better for the environment than gas-powered cars, there is an environmental impact associated with battery production. Responsible sourcing of materials and beneficially reusing industrial wastes is perhaps currently the best solution available to the battery industry for reducing environmental footprint. There is hope that as battery technology progresses, these environmental impacts will be reduced.
- The reuse and recycling of electric vehicle batteries is a growing industry. Startup companies are partnering with automakers to recycle the materials that make up 电动汽车电池, and the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act provides incentives for automakers using recycled materials in their batteries. 与此同时, batteries that are no longer able to power an EV efficiently may still have around 80 percent of their original storage capacity. 电动汽车电池 are being reused for things like intermittent renewable energy generation and storage at EV charging sites.

纯电池vs. 插电式混合动力车
Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) can be more cost effective and better for the environment than gas-powered vehicles, however they don’t offer the full financial and environmental benefit as battery-only electric vehicles (BEVs). They’re also not as popular and have fewer models to choose from. 截至2023年8月, 华盛顿78%的电动汽车是纯电动汽车, and 86 percent of all new EVs registered in Washington in 2022 were BEVs.
