EV Ownership FAQ


Acura EV Ownership FAQ
What are the biggest advantages of switching to an all-electric vehicle?
There are several advantages that you’ll enjoy when you make the switch to an EV like the Acura ZDX. First, there’s no ignoring the environmental benefits that come from producing zero tailpipe emissions. The satisfaction that comes from knowing that you’re helping to reduce the harmful impact on the environment can be quite rewarding. Speaking of rewards, your wallet will certainly appreciate the fact that you’ll never have to shell out your hard-earned money at the gas station ever again. Last but not least, there’s no substitute for the smooth and instantaneous power delivery characteristics of an EV. You simply can’t find these on a traditional gas-powered vehicle.

Is it less expensive to charge an electric vehicle compared to spending money on gas?
Keeping in mind that electricity rates and gas prices do vary and fluctuate by region and seasonal factors, you can generally expect to pay less to drive an EV based solely on energy costs. Especially when you consider the various charging package bundles included with the purchase of your Acura EV along with potential tax credits available to you as an EV owner, the savings will add up over time!

Where is the best place to charge my EV?
To keep things simple, the quick answer to this question is that it depends! You can’t ignore the convenience of a home charging station, letting you wake up each morning to a battery that’s fully charged. When you’re out and about, there are also plenty of public charging stations where you can top off the battery while you’re at work or shopping. Even on extended road trips, public DC fast charging stations can help you recharge quickly while enjoying a meal or stretching your legs. The best place to charge depends on your needs and driving habits. Thankfully, there are plenty of solutions to suit just about any type of lifestyle.
