Looking for reasons to buy an EV ?
- You get some free supercharging if you place your order using a referral code ( here is mine if you want https://www.tesla.com/referral/emmanuel31121 )
- You save the planet as EVs emit far less CO2 van ICE
- You save money on gas ( using free supercharge as per 1., and because electricity is cheap)
- You save on maintenance, as EVs are virtually maintenance free.
- EVs last longer than ICE, no engine, rock solid battery.
Now lets get into details:
- Using a refferal code like mine https://www.tesla.com/referral/emmanuel31121, will provide you with 1500 km of free supercharger use.
- EVs emit fat less CO2 van ICE : numbers.
- CO2 emmited in the entire lifecycle of a vehicle ( produce & use it during 150000Km) ICE : 46 tons / EV : 26 tons Source
- NOx emitted when driving these cars for 150000km ICE : 75 tons / EV : 0 tons Source
- Energy consumed to drive 150000Km (production ,extraction refining, transport.) : Diesel : 6 tons of CO2 Source / Electricity 0,42 tons of CO2 Source
3. Savings on gas :here is cost of the energy used to drive 35000km per year, as well as the associated service costs ( i am not displaying items like tires, that are exactly the same):
Bottom line : in six years, I save 25000 CHF owning an EV vs an ICE car (range rover evoque).
4. Maintenance : as my Tesla rep said: “ no maintenance at all, just come back in six years for AC”..
5. EV last longer that ICE : for those worrying about battery life, as per this informative chart I gathered from youtuber Like Tesla, even with the worst charging habits, ( 100-20% ) it takes 300000 miles to see a 10 % capacity loss. Quite good actually.
Convinced ? Ready to place an order for a Tesla ? Good choice. Feel free to use my refferal to order your Tesla : https://www.tesla.com/referral/emmanuel31121
